The bbq here was the best American bbq I have had in my life, that being said I don't go to American bbq spots often. The smoky flavor was perfect, my favorite sauce was the smoky mountain. The meat of the brisket was so tender and the potatoes were flavorful and perfect! I would definitely take my friends and family here if I came back to the east coast. The staff was friendly and the place was clean and very country like!

When we got to the counter to order, the two ladies there both greeted us, although one was taking someone else's order. When my mom and I said we were gluten free, she had every answer we needed. Sauces, putting hush puppies on the side, no bread. Excellent job! We would have sat outside, but all of those tables were filled. We did get a table inside for the four of us. Packed inside too. They brought our food out to us when it was ready. With it being packed for Father's Day, 20-25 minutes wasn't that bad. The two sandwich eaters devoured their sandwiches and sides. The two meat platter had just the right amount of proteins and sides. Pulled pork is often my go to, but the brisket was divine on Sunday! I didn't know there were at least four kinds of beans available in the side but yum! The Green beans were solid, cooked in/with butter. Upon finishing our delicious lunch we went across the parking lot to the creamery. They had vegan options so I got one vanilla and one chocolate. The cookies and cream wasn't gluten free so I am unable to comment on that vegan option. Very smooth. An awesome finish to an excellent Father's Day lunch. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great food. One of my favorite barbecue spots!

While not too new in our area, they are now open on weekends for take-out and I've gotta tell ya,…read morethe food is amazing. They started out as a food truck operation serving delicious smoked meats like pulled pork and ribs. They're signature is the steak tips. Oh mama! The steak tips are served perfectly seasoned and tender over a bed of rice. My mouth is watering just typing this review. They moved into a building in order to expand their operation and be able to cook for their catering business. During Covid, they ran their food truck in the parking lot of their business and set up a tent in order to provide the opportunity to serve their delicious meal offerings while complying with state mandated Covid protocols. Most recently, they have now opened on the weekends for take-out only. I had the fried Haddock which was delicious. It was fried to a deep golden brown and the fish was delicate and flaky. I opted for a side of their creamy homemade mac-and-cheese which is also a favorite for most to include me. They have a baked North Atlantic Salmon option with a lemon dill Dijon cream sauce or a teriyaki glaze. They offer smoked ribs and pulled pork, roasted potatoes, pasta and meatballs, homemade bread and peppers and oil, garden or Caesar salads, a few sandwich options and more. I will definitely visit often and I think you should too.

What truly sets this place apart is the people. From the second I walk in the door, the bartenders make me feel welcome. They don't just serve drinks -- they remember my name, my drink order, and even what I like to eat. The owners and staff consistently make me, my friends, and my family feel like we belong there. Hoss, Josh, Tasha, Jimmy, Fred, and Mandy are hands down the best bartenders in the area. They're friendly, fast, and somehow manage to give you personal attention even when the bar is two or three deep. The service is always top notch -- even on the busiest nights, I still have a drink in my hand within minutes. That says everything about how well this place is run. And in the summer? The patio is the place to be. It's easily the best patio around -- great atmosphere, great crowd, and the BBQ is always a highlight. There's nothing better than sitting outside with friends, good food, and a cold drink. If you're looking for a spot with great energy, amazing staff, live music, DJ nights, and the best summer patio in town, this is it.

This craft brewery uses high quality ingredients that you can taste. The food was also high quality and was one of my favorite smash burgers that I've had.

This is an old church that still has some of its original characteristics but was modernized to make it more of a beer hall. I really like a brewery that has a unique location and look.
