Very nice place. Fresh food. Nice people.

Very nice people. Super fresh food. Little pricey but worth it. The lady that is very helpful

Love the outdoor dining space!

The other days I was on the Metro 45 on Hempstead I spotted this place and knew I had to check it out...especially when I saw how long it had been since a Yelp Review of the joint. For a person who does not drive the Metro 45 goes right to it with a stop at Campbell rd. Don't let the look of the place, and the rundown parking, scare you off... The menu is large and varied, including separate breakfast sandwich and burger specials...and some higher prices than when last reviewed. I love the wooden picnic benches for outdoor dining. The $7 Cheeseburger Special and the Chicken Burger were tasty. The place is still cash only, so be sure to double check your change, when given back, because the nice lady running the place appears to have math issues. :-D As an added bonus, for the curious, the Fairbanks Cemetery (since 1897) is around the corner on Stonington.

I've passed this place day after day and finally decided to stop. You walk up to the window place your order and you can take it to go or eat within the outdoor seating area. The prices are reasonable and it's CASH ONLY. I ordered a single burger with fries and it was delicious. I'm a huge fan of old fashioned burger joint and this did not disappoint. I will be visiting again in the near future.

For the love of God! Avoid this place at all costs!! I drive by this place almost on a daily basis. There's only outdoor seating and I don't ever see anyone dining here. If there were anyone, probably one or two customers at most. In my never ending quest of finding the next "OMG! How come I didn't know about this place" burger joint, me and a co-worker foolishly decided to try this place out. BIG MISTAKE! And I will tell you why. You have to order at the window and there are menus attached to both sides of the window. One menu is for their combo specials and the other is for a la carte. While we were looking at the menu and we were going to ask questions about the menu; the lady at the window cut us off before we could say anything and said very rudely, "Before you order, for this (points at combo menu), add $1 to everything. And for this (points at a la carte menu), add $0.50 to everything!" Oooo-kaay... umm.. fine, whatever. My co-worker then proceeded and asked her, "what are y'all known for here?" She didn't answer and grabbed a piece of paper from behind the counter and literally slammed it in front of us without saying anything. We looked over what was on that piece of paper and it was pretty much their "special." Get a hamburger, fries, and drink for $5. Yup. That's it. While we were talking about what to get, she rudely grabbed that piece of paper from in front of us and put it back behind the counter and said, "I need this. This is my last one!" Umm... fine. Keep it. At this point, my co-worker told me that he felt like he was at the soup nazi place out of Seinfeld. Well, we placed our orders and my co-worker tried to make small talk again because that's just how he is and he was trying to be friendly. He said, "So, how long have y'all been in business?" She grabbed the same piece of paper that had been taken away and slammed it back in front of us and said, "read again!" On the right side of that piece of paper, there's a little stamp with the restaurant's name on it, phone number and a small print below it that stated that the restaurant had been in business for over 30 years. Ooookay... we didn't see it because we were too busy looking at the menu and because that piece of paper was rudely taken away in the first place, lady!!! Sheesh. Anyway, we ordered a cheeseburger combo and a beef teriyaki combo. The beef teriyaki combo came with fried rice (bleh tasting), fries, and salad. the beef teriyaki wasn' too bad but it needed more teriyaki sauce. It was too dry. As for the cheeseburger, it was barely average. Seriously. I mean, with the kind of attitude the owner was giving out, I was hoping that at least the burger was going to be one of the best burgers I've ever had. But nope. NOT EVEN CLOSE! And this place wasn't cheap either. For those two combos and a drink, we spent over $20! Not something I'd like to spend at a run down place like this. And, during the time we were waiting for our food, there were other customers who came and went (most ordered to go) and I don't think I heard her tell any of them about the additional $1 or $0.50 on the menu prices. WHAT THE F, LADY?! Nope, not coming back. EVER. Not even if my meals were free. I suggest you do the same. P.S. they sell buckets for $2 each. Seriously.

Great little spot, support small business. Friendly service, each order made fresh. Open for breakfast at 6AM. Free smile with every order- something you don't get at big chains.

Burger special and onion rings, yum!! Served with a medium lemonade (country time-ish), refreshing.

CorkScrew BBQ - Pulled pork, brisket, a rib with mac& cheese

Parking is limited, so I'd suggest arriving around 10 AM. We got there at 10:15 AM on a Saturday…read moreand found parking, but the lot filled up quickly. If you arrive early, be sure to grab a number from the binder on the water cooler table near the front door. The staff also walks around offering drinks while you wait, which was a nice touch. Around 10:45 AM, everyone lines up according to their number. We were #24, and it took us almost 40 minutes to reach the front and place our order. We ordered: -1 lb moist brisket -1/2 lb garlic sausage link -1.5 lbs prime beef rib (feeds 2-3 people) -CS tacos with pulled pork (comes with 2 tacos) For sides, we got the coleslaw, potato salad, mac & cheese, cobbler, and smoked beans. I really liked the smoked beans and cobbler! Everything was absolutely delicious and worth the wait. All of the meats were flavorful, juicy, and tender. The CS tacos were good, and I highly recommend getting the pulled pork to go with them. The prime beef rib was the standout for me. They only offer it on Saturdays, so definitely get it if you're there. The staff was friendly and attentive. Despite being busy, they checked on us frequently and even helped clear our table multiple times. Thanks to the incredible service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere, I had a great start to my weekend!

The food here was the real deal and they should be proud of having earned a Michelin Star, as well as being one of the top American-style BBQ restaurants in the world (only 4 hold a Michelin Star). The people that work here are also friendly and helpful, honestly such a chill vibe, which helps you get into the right mood for some bbq. What surprised me was that I ordered the Stuffed Potato Salad on a whim and it was out of this world! Warm potato salad (taste way better than it sounds) covered in chopped briskets, queso, ranch salsa, and green onions was so comforting and so delicious, I was crying! I also ordered a 1/2 of brisket and even though I had to take it home to finish work, it remained so tender and moist even after the drive home. The crust/bark was also so flavorful without being too much and I'm glad it wasn't just a hard layer of black pepper that was hard to crunch through. I'm also not really a coleslaw type of person, but their sweet & spicy coleslaw was the best I've ever had. I wolfed that down and would definitely get it again! We all need more fiber in our diet anyway and thankfully this is a painless way to do it (unless you can't handle the touch of spice I suppose). I'd really like to come back on a Saturday morning sometime with another sucker to accompany me, because an hour drive plus an hour or two wait on line is quite a big commitment. But the beef ribs are definitely on my radar and I probably will want to try their turkey, cobbler, and mac & cheese sometime. I'm also happy to say that even though I came late on a Thursday near closing and a lot of things were sold out, they still had brisket and that's my favorite cut of meat. I'll definitely have to swing by next time I have errands around here.

They offered an assortment of goods and items that are great for gifts and for your own home. I can always find something of interest in the store. I also love that they tend to carry items that are a little more boutique and local which makes it fun to browse. A lot of people visit for the barbecue. If I recall, when they first were serving BBQ it was a smaller, more limited time and they've since extended those hours. When visiting there is plenty of street parking in the area. They have expanded the seating inside since when they first opened which is nice for those not looking to takeaway food. Food & Drink - 4.25* The counter for ordering is in the back. I definitely recommend getting an assortment or a plate. Sausage and brisket are both solid. The sides are good too. I did notice the quality maybe dipped a little as the hours expanded, but it's still a very good option to some of the nearby establishments down the road or over in the North Main area that tend to have giant queues. When I was working downtown we'd swing over here quickly for a lunch. Feel free to grab anything to drink from the coolers as well if it catches your interest. Service - 5* Solid. We've spoken directly with the owners when visiting and it's evident they care deeply about their store, their customers, and the community. Definitely support your local businesses!! Cost - 4.5* Always subjective. I think for what they offer, how clean and well organized the shop is, it shows. They keep prices approachable. Overall - 4.5* Personally, I think it's a great balance of quality, convenience, and an assortment of goods that make it interesting. If you're in the area or live nearby, walk on over and check it out.

Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

I've been here several times, and honestly, about 98% of the time the food is good. That's why this…read morevisit was so disappointing. I arrived around 5:35 PM, about 25 minutes before closing, and ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of ribs. The brisket was $17, and unfortunately it was extremely greasy and so overcooked that the meat had become mushy. It still had good flavor, but the texture was nothing like the brisket I've normally gotten here. Judging by what I received, it felt like I may have gotten what was left at the end of the day. The ribs were $12, and my "1/2 lb" consisted of two individual ribs. They tasted good, but they weren't nearly as tender as I've had here before. I paid about $29 just for the meat, and for that price I expected much better quality and portioning. I understand that I came close to closing time, but I still paid full price and should receive the same quality of food as any other customer. If the brisket is past its best or there isn't enough left to make a proper order, I'd rather be told that so I can order something else. I'm not writing the place off because they've been good to me many times before. But this particular order was definitely not up to their usual standard, and the pictures speak for themselves.
