My wife and I were visiting the beautiful area for an extended weekend and decided on BBQ for…read moredinner. We found this wonderful restaurant online and after reading all the reviews decided to stop and get some takeout. We were so glad that we did. Brisket, pulled pork, potato salad, and Mac and cheese filled our choice for dinner. All was so very delicious! We even had leftovers which made it even better. The food was flavorful and the meat moist, slow cooked to perfection. We gave our food order in person rather than calling ahead. We were received with warmth and hospitality. While we waited we spent the few minutes making small talk. We look forward to visiting the area again and will be sure to stop by the Meat Hook for more tasty BBQ. Next time will a larger order that I'll eat for leftovers for a day or two. So good!

On top of all that, the service was outstanding. The guys working were really helpful and patient, and super friendly. Can't recommend it enough. (Kids loved the smash burger, brisket, mac and cheese, and the chicken thighs. We adults tried the smoked wings, brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, baked beans, cole slaw, and seasoned potatoes. Everything was outstanding. Even the rolls and all their sauces, which were really unique and delicious.)

All I have to say is WOW! Seriously, I was in the area for…read morework, so I got out my Yelp app and Butcher Bobs came up. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. One of the best BBQ places in all of PA. I ordered a half rack of ribs, side of mac and cornbread. OMG. The ribs were tender, with an amazing dry rub and BBQ on the side. They were a nice size with a great smoke flavor. Speaking of smoke, next time I go, I'm getting the bucket of mac. Creamy, smokey, spoons full of comfort. Finally the cornbread. Probably one of the best cornbreads I've ever had; it is more in line with a pound cake. I could eat an entire loaf. Smooth and sweet. I got my order to go. Great customer service!

I've been here.... back in 2021/2022. I was driving up to Wilkes for WHATEVER reason and it was…read moreearly April. I recognize the inside, the deck and the smoker outside. I was on 309 North and passed it (it was on the left hand side). So, I pull a u-ey (is that how one abbreviates U turn). I was excited because I saw the smoker outside with a ton of smoke coming out of the chimney. I go in, order a full rack of ribs (why not? There was that smoker outside pumping out smoke). I was SO disappointed by how hard the ribs were. They were not tender AT ALL. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I definitely have had WAY better ribs. I would not recommend this place. Update: owner responded with sincere intentions. I WILL give these guys a second try. I'll post the results afterwards.

This new location on Lake Winola served up the best bbq this diner has ever had! Let's start with…read moremy favorite dish, which I did not expect...the stew. Dear, Baby Jesus. Boasting rich and comforting flavors, this concoction was an amalgam of deliciously smoked meat and veggies swimming in a pool of a savory tomato and herb broth. The next favorite, and honestly the best I've ever had - the ribs. Fall-off-the-bone, moist, saucy and full, these delightful slices of heaven sung of flavor. Before I go on sounding like I ate a meal for a village, we were treated to a lovely sampling. The meatloaf, paired with the potato salad, would be the hit of any party. Finally, and I don't know how the chef did this, but the smoked tuna was so rich and different, it reminded me of eating a fresh and expensive crab cake. Note to all who are looking for some epic bbq: check the updates for availability. It's no shock, but this locale sells out of items quickly in its TH-S run. An experience I will never forget. Thanks to the owner/chef for a fantastic dining delight!

I got the chicken, pulled pork, coleslaw, and cornbread. Everything was excellent! The portion size was huge. Glad I asked for it in a to go container because I only ate 1/4 of it & I was stuffed!! My son didn't order because he's not a big bbq eater so the owner brought out a sample of their signature New Brunswick stew. The boy doesn't eat soup either so I had to eat that too!! Lol - I'm not sorry! We got to listen to some R&B that was playing softly in the background. Soothing and not loud enough that you couldn't have a normal conversation. The dining area was clean and tidy. Loved it!

My pulled jerk chicken sandwich was full of fat and had two bones!! One was sharp and pointy. How you going to serve this to people? My girlfriend got the pulled pork and refused to eat it after she pulled it apart and half of it was fat. Everything is overpriced for the quality. They also want $28 for a pound of pulled meat! Which by the way is barely "pulled". Callear's only charges $10 a pound and quality is way better. Personally I wouldn't bother. Sorry for the bad review but very disappointed. Also they were out of mac and cheese and baked beans. That's essential bbq sides. Come on!
