Good folks slinging good BBQ.

Small but sufficient bar for those inclined to just partake in some drinks. BBQ is mediocre by Texas standards, but that's comparing it against the greats like Franklins and Blacks; for North country and anything north of Mason-Dixon Line, it's the best I've had. Interesting too because they don't commit to a single style, you will see NC sauce/rips next to sauceless brisket (TX). Didn't try the non-meat items but had a large menu of goodies for non-meat eaters. Prices were cheap on drinks and decent on meals. It's rustic in there but clean. Don't know if they'll have a good patio game in the summer. 5 stars, worth the 30 minute trip from Fort Drum.

It started off strong by being greeted by a friendly waitress and delicious loaded fries, but what should've been the star of the show was lacking: gumbo. Not only was it a small serving for nearly $30, but it hardly had any chicken or meat and was lacking flavor. My partner enjoyed his meatball sandwich a bit more, but again was disappointed with the smaller size of his meal. Perhaps there are better things to order that we should've!

So just keep that in mind when you wanna visit during high traffic hours. Parking was a little tricky too. We ordered the combo plate with brisket and pulled pork and they both were 10/10.

The space is massive, could likely hold 300 people comfortably. There's even a stage space, great for karaoke or a work event. We were served buffet style and everything was INCREDIBLE. Things easily dry out on a buffet line, but not here. Everything was fresh, juicy and tender. My favorite was the pulled pork and mac and cheese. I'll definitely be back the next time im in the area!

Order a platter and try some of their delicious sides. Today I was trying their version of the Philly Cheesesteak as if it got lost down south. The soft chewy bun and the mix as I told the cook... "You do not rush perfection". I definitely was heading towards the need for a nap on a work day but it's definitely a nice change of pace for those that work in the heart of Watertown. So my only gripe but be warned I take my Que seriously is the smoked Mac and cheese lacked smoke but I'm hard to please when it comes to my bbq. I'll definitely be back to try my way around the menu.

Definitely will come back. Place was hopping but we didn't have to wait, food was really quick to come out too! Only negative which I've seen other reviewers mention ... was the drinks. (I'd suggest ordering your drink in a bottle, or bringing a drink from home...) our drinks tasted really awful. (Soda, water; etc) we narrowed it down that we think it was the ice. I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!

When it got a little chilly, the staff turned on the heaters which was nice. Service was great and so was the food! I'd recommend pulled chicken with the Carolina Gold Sauce. Happy hour was going on where drinks were 2 for 1 which was also a nice added treat! Everyone I was with was happy with their orders and hopefully we can get back soon!

Stopping in right at opening, we were greeted by kind staff members. We wanted to try everything,…read moreso we put in an order for brisket, pulled pork, bacon, and kielbasa. Alongside the meats, we wanted to try their sides as well which consisted of mac and cheese, baked beans, corn bread, cole slaw and salt potatoes. For the brisket which we looked forward to the most, we found these to be drier than we would have liked. Paired with sauce, they were just okay. For the pulled pork, we found this to be phenomenal. Smoky and delicious all on its own. Definitely a highlight for us. For the bacon, we ordered 3 different kinds, and we found the flavors didn't really shine through. Although generously thick cut and cooked perfectly. The kielbasa was a bit of a letdown. We found these to be on the dry side, but the flavors were okay. For the sides, the mac and cheese we found the pasta to be a bit overcooked and overall, on the bland side. The baked beans tasted great, no complaints there. The corn bread wasn't anything special and neither were the salt potatoes. Although we did enjoy the salt potatoes and found they were exactly how they ought to be. The cole slaw was also on the bland side and tasted more of the fridge than any flavor. We've heard good things about their smoked wings which we had to try before leaving. We ordered a 5-piece with their spicy Asian sauce. The wings were delicious, the smokiness flavor penetrated throughout the entire wing, but the sauce was very salty which took away from the natural delicious taste of the smoked wings. Overall, a good experience which some seasoning issues but would revisit if we were back in the area.
