Unfortunately, the service did not live up to the hype. I paid for smoking, flavoring, and individual vacuum sealing in small packages. What I received was a disorganized mess. None of the packages were labeled, and everything was tossed into a box with two loose labels floating around--we had no idea which flavor was which. Several packages were leaking, and many were poorly sealed with air inside. That completely defeats the purpose of vacuum sealing, which is meant to preserve the fish. Before writing this review, I contacted the business. I was told to "just eat the poorly sealed ones first." Really? We paid extra for vacuum sealing to avoid having to rush through the fish. I was also reminded that the seals aren't guaranteed, which I understand--but they should at least be sealed properly when I pick them up. They sell meat in their store, and I guarantee they wouldn't sell anything in the condition they gave me. I love supporting local businesses, but as customers, we also have to be mindful of where we spend our money. This wasn't a cheap service, and the lack of care and follow-through and customer service was incredibly disappointing.

So it's a relatively small space. You go up the the counter and order, then they bring it out to you. I ordered the 4 Meat Combo #2 ($25). This comes with Pulled Pork, 2 Chicken Thighs, 3 Rib bones, a smoked Jalapeno Cheddar Bratwurst, and 2 sides. The Pulled Pork was excellent, it was tender and delicious. The Ribs were outstanding. Some of the best ribs I've had and the best thing I had today. The spices on it are perfect as is the char. They are very tender and definitely fall off the bone. The chicken Thighs are tasty and again perfectly spiced, definitely would get again. I wasn't sure about the bratwurst at first, I liked it, but the more I ate the more I loved it. The 2 sides I got was baked beans and shredded cheesy potatoes with smoked ham. The baked beans were very good, with a surprise heat to them. Nothing burning, just a hello. They also got better the more you ate. The shredded potatoes were $2 extra, but were very good and I do recommend them. I also got an extra side of 3 small cornbreads for $1.50. Very tasty and not dry at all, which is the failure of so many cornbreads. They have cans and 2 liters of pop and bottled water for drinks. The person I was with ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($7). It was devoured, so that says something. She also got a side of Coleslaw ($3). It was declared to be very good. Everything was fairly priced and very generous portions. Also the house bbq sauce is very good. The service you get was good and friendly. Overall an easy 5 star Review! Would I return? Absolutely! I will be back, and I highly recommend a visit if you like bbq. You'll be just as surprised as I was that there's such good bbq in the middle of nowhere.

I arrived in town earlier than expected after a 3-hour drive and was looking for something to eat…read moreand drink. Unfortunately, options were limited--mostly fast food and a few pubs that were closed at the time. This restaurant was open, so I decided to give it a shot. The place was nearly empty, aside from a few locals. It's a surprisingly large space, which only made the emptiness more noticeable. The tap list was underwhelming--mostly domestics like Bud and Busch, along with a heavy focus on IPAs (not my thing). I ended up ordering a Corona, but it was clearly skunked, likely from sitting too long--suggesting slow turnover and possibly overstocked inventory. I ordered the half rack of ribs with baked beans and their corn coleslaw. Unfortunately, the meal was disappointing. The ribs were lukewarm, dry, and lacked flavor. No BBQ sauce was brushed on or offered--which is surprising for a BBQ joint. The beans tasted canned, and the corn coleslaw, while creative in concept, just didn't work in execution. No pickles, no bread, no condiments--nothing to round out the plate. I get that this is a small town, but when you're the only BBQ spot around, there's a real opportunity to stand out. Sadly, this place missed the mark. I don't like leaving below-average reviews, but in this case, I had to be honest.

So I woke up this morning and said to my girl, "Let's find a golf course that has a clubhouse that…read morecontains a bar but the bar has a dining room because the owners have aspirations to offer fine dining. And let's order two of the most challenging breakfast dishes and watch the cooking staff fall all over themselves getting it wrong." So we did. The location of the restaurant is not obvious from the road. There is no sign or branding that will easily catch your eye as you drive by. But we know the Gull Lake area well and we knew it was in the clubhouse so we knew where to look. The owners were having the clubhouse reroofed. Not a huge problem - we figured the roofers weren't working on a Saturday so we wouldn't be troubled by the sounds of nail guns - except the roofers were using all of the handicapped parking spaces for storage of the new roofing materials and dumping of the old roof from demolition. The name of the restaurant was on the glass doors to the main entrance. The dining room is on the left, across from the bathrooms and the golf shop. The dining room appears to be one half of a banquet hall - a sign at the door says the building capacity is 300 - so perhaps the owners are looking to host weddings or high school proms as well. A very nice wooden partition separated the room into two halves. There was a square bar in the northeast corner with about ten stools, and the remainder of the room had tables of varying sizes (to seat from 2 to 8). The kitchen doors were on the north side, and to the east were windows overlooking the golf course. There were maybe 5 TVs scattered about playing a rerun of '10 version of "Clash of the Titans" (the one with the Gemma Arterton), and the actor dialogue competed with the muzak that was also playing. There was neither host nor a station that we could see, but just a sign directing us to sit where we pleased. We were attended to as soon as we chose our table and sat down. We ordered Eggs Benedict & the Corned Beef Hash. The restaurant calls them in the breakfast menu: "Classic Eggs Benedict" ($11) & "Smoked Corned Beef Hash and Eggs" ($11). As many fine dining establishments do, the menu lists the components of each dish. The "Classic Eggs Benedict" is described as "applewood smoked ham, hollandaise sauce, toasted English muffin & hashbrown casserole." Everything was brought to the table lukewarm. The eggs were properly soft. The ham tasted less smoked than just ham. The hollandaise sauce was bland. But my girl saved her outrage for what was called "hashbrown casserole." It was nothing more than cheesy hash browns. She said, "Imagine macaroni and cheese and that instead of macaroni someone puts in hash browns. No onions, no peppers, no cubes of ham or bacon, no spices, no nothing. Just hash browns mixed with what looks and tastes like melted Velveeta cheese product." And, later, "These aren't even hash browns. Hash browns are pan fried. These are just riced potatoes." The Smoked Corned Beef Hash & Eggs is described as "Two eggs cooked your way with smoked corned beef brisket, shredded potatoes, green peppers, onions & toast." I ordered my eggs poached. The eggs arrived in a small glass bowl (the size of a small ramekin) sitting in a pool of water. The corned beef had a nice smoked flavor, and there were plenty of onions and green peppers, but the entire thing was mixed with the restaurant's hashbrown casserole (aka cheesy potatoes). Corned beef hash mixed with Velveeta? Edible, but weird. And again, everything was brought to the table lukewarm. Lots of hot, brown diner coffee though, delivered frequently by the server, Brookelynn. Service was attentive but I should think barely acceptable. I should mention that when we are some unfamiliar restaurant, when the server brings us our food we immediately feel underneath the plates to see how warm or hot they are. (Unless the server warns us - "Watch out! Those plates are scorching! My hands are on fire!") We could immediately tell the meals were not hot - and that meant Brookelynn, who carried the dishes by hand from the kitchen to our table, knew too. And it annoys us when a server is not paying attention to something so basic. The cheesy potatoes is an idiotic concept. To call it a "hashbrown casserole" is twice a lie for it is neither. It is included in nine of the eighteen items on the breakfast menu, so the kitchen probably has a giant sized pot of cheesy potatoes made everyday to scoop out onto plates. Repulsive. The rest of the meal was indicative of poor execution: Plates delivered lukewarm. Bland hollandaise sauce. Poached eggs sitting in a pool of tepid water. Coffee that the best thing I can say about it was that it was hot and it was brown. Figuratively speaking, the owners went to the first tee, took out a shiny driver, and drove the ball into every windshield in every car in the parking lot. A forgettable experience. Blah.
