    I want to start by saying I'm a Kansas City native. My standards for BBQ is insanely high. Being from Kansas City I had to order the burnt ends. When I walked in the place was decorated really cool. It looked like a BBQ place should look. The staff was friendly and respectful. The price was also is as to be expected of a BBQ place. The food was, well okay. My macaroni and cheese just tasted as normal Mac and cheese. It would be nice if they did a little something to give it a little more flavor. It was kind of, well bland. The beans I had were again.. kind of bland. They tasted exactly like canned beans. I'd recommend them to mix bbq sauce or something in there. The sauce you guys use is good. It isn't the same type of tangy sauce I'd expect from a BBQ place in Kansas City, but it is good no doubt. My burnt ends were a little disappointing. They tasted alright but were not that special. Again I put some bbq sauce on them and it helped quite a bit. There just wasn't much Smokey flavor. I wonder how long you guys smoke the meat ? My father had ribs and pork and a little brisket. I'll say the ribs were great. Fall off of the bone tender and had a great meaty taste. I noticed the brisket had a nice smoke ring and was done really well. Not super soft but still tender that you can easily pull it apart. Just the way brisket should be. All in all I give it a 3/5 because it is good. I think they just need to work on making the sides a little better and perhaps focus on adding some more flavor to the meats. But again for Quincy this is really good. I will stop in and visit again. Worth the money. Just a little improvement would be nice.

    Easily the best BBQ in Quincy, IL . The brisket is consistently outstanding - juicy, tender, and flavorful. Ribs are outstanding! Portion sizes are very good especially for large sandwiches. More expensive than fast food but well worth the price. Sides are smaller but very tasty. All the locals eat here so very busy 11:30-1 for lunch. Owned and run by the local Osborne family and their experience and love of southern BBQ comes through in everything they serve. Try the Hog & Hefer (brisket & ribs) it is INCREDIBLE! Try the triple play platter, it is big and can be split between two people. The new burnt ends platter is PURE DELICIOUSNESS!! WOW.

    Ate over half of a full rack. I liken wet!!! Corn bread is the best too

    Online order ready in 15 minutes and as always absolutely fantastic. Only problem is I couldn't stop eating it and now it's hard to breath. Love it

    I just tried Fatback's the other day and was very happy with the food that I purchased. I bought a whole chicken and a pound of brisket to take home. The chicken was very juicy and had a really good taste. The brisket was super good. It wasn't sauced but they included a side of sauce for it. It was good without the sauce but amazing with it. They threw in a piece of cornbread (1 piece with a whole chicken and a pound of brisket) and despite not being enough of it, it was super tasty as well. There have been 3 BBQ places spring up in the past month or two in Quincy. I've been to all 3 and I feel that this one's the most reasonably priced and has the best BBQ.

    Enjoyed this nice little resturant. Lots to choose from, decent price for the amount of food you receive. My husband got the 1/2 rack and it was great. I got the double play platter and it was good, but not great. The brisket was dried out some. The corn bread is the best I have ever had!! And not sure what they put in their potato salad, but it is amazing!! We drove an hour to try this resturant and we are glad we did!

    Absolutely fantastic food and service! I had the pulled pork platter and my husband had the double play. We left with a full belly for a reasonable price. The owner was cooking the meat outback on the grill and his son took our order. Very nice friendly environment. Took home some of their rub it was so good!
