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!

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!

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!

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!

The place was neat and clean and our server Michelle was very nice, helpful and personable. Being new customers we were surprised that we were offered a sampler of eight of the sides as well as cornbread with a surprising cinnamon butter to spread on it. All were delicious and made our choice of two difficult. My wife chose a side salad and the Cajun corn. I got the mashed potatoes with gravy and the smoked baked beans. We waited maybe 20 minutes after the sampler and my wife's salad for our dinner, which seemed long but not terrible. The owner Bob had been coming around checking on tables. When our food came out, he also checked on us and apologized for the length of wait. He offered free desert, which we didn't think necessary but very much appreciated. We each got a 1/3 slab of ribs which were tender and delicious without saucing them. There were 3 sauce options at the table. Gold, original and sweet. All good but original was my favorite. I got the pulled pork and my wife the pulled chicken. We took our complimentary desserts to go as we had no room left. We choose the baklava cheesecake and peanut butter pie. Also both delicious. We highly recommend you give this place a try. It's easy to get to and should have been booked solid based on the atmosphere, service and food!

Food was good (not the best I have had in New York) Cons. I absolutely hated that I waited in line just to order for 30 mins. Then I found a table just to wait at least another 45 for my food. I have never waited this long for BBQ. You serve your self to get your drink and bbq sauce since they don't add any sauce or put any out on the table like most bbq places. This day they only had one sauce out. The honey mustard. Both the original and the hot bbq sauce were empty. I told the bartender and still nothing. This was a big disappointment to me. This place is a one and done for me. I don't feel I need to go back.

Could be all the wine in me talking (though I don't think so from the way everyone was chowing down), but this was some Grade A BBQ!

Honestly - just way too good! Drinks. Food. Service. Company - 10 for 10!

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.

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.
