Lakota Bar-B-Q...more like Lago-to Ella May's!!!…read more We stopped here on a road trip and this place doesn't exist in 2025. We followed Apple Maps and it took us into the driveway of someone's house. Anyway...there are only two food options in town, and both are amazing. Ella May's Ice Cream is a must-try. It's quite literally the best ice cream I've had in my entire life, which is why I'm here writing a review for it.

Smoking meat low and slow is a religion that I have practiced for 30 years, and my standards are…read moreorthodox: do pork like they do it in eastern North Carolina and brisket the way its done in west Texas. Lakota promises both but does neither -- nor do they serve anything that tastes like legit barbecue from other traditions. Ran into these folks at a street fair in Pittsfield MA one afternoon while passing through, just as I was jonesing for some Q. The custom rig they pulled to the fair was impressive: dual vertical/direct and horizontal/offset cookers - fired by hardwood - and the aroma drew me in like a gnat to a flame. But the brisket was tasteless shoe leather and the pulled pork a meaty mush (no pull strands) drowned in a forgettable tomato based sauce. The sides were little better: bland, watery and fibrously chewy beans with a helping of cole slaw swimming in thinly seasoned mayo. Only the cornbread was respectable -- but they only served up a 1" cube of this with each meal (seriously?!) Ok, so street fairs are not restaurant cookery and should be judged less harshly (hence the two stars) -- and I get that this is a catering outfit that probably mostly does fund raisers for local municipalities, fire departments and churches -- but hey -- at least serve up edible Q if you represent yourself as flamboyantly skilled as these folks did. Disappointing at any price and even my dog, who likes Q, would not eat the rest of my brisket.
