So I've been here a few times now and all experiences were the same as the first. The first two…read morethings I notice when I get in here is the dust above the kitchen area and how unkept one area is. It is over by the drinks and where you get the BBQ sauce from. On my first visit they were out of a few of their meats that we wanted to try. Fortunately I've been able to try a bit of everything on other visits. After much debate I can confidently give three stars. The service is prompt, and the food comes out relatively quickly. However, the BBQ is ok, the sides are ok, and the sauces are ok. Nothing has really stood out that makes me want to come back anymore. I will say that it is the better BBQ in the area though. The other spots are nowhere close. I just have much better options in SoCal.

Beans weren't my favorite so I asked if I could switch it for something else and they gave me fresh cornbread, which was a whole lot better. The Kansas City BBQ sauce though... A1. *chefs kiss* One of the best tasting BBQ sauces I've had.

So many choices and beautiful cuts of meat they have great salami and cheese packs for lunch and keto friendly snack snacks too meat sticks, ground meats, fresh and smoked brats and so much more come and check them out the man is super helpful and friendly too. Gotta love having a local butcher and this is right on the Main Street through town so no excuse except maybe parking some days to come get some tasty stuff we brought home a variety of brats and cooking them up today!

Either way you'll have to deal with perhaps the most unpleasant man on the planet: the very definition of pompous, condescending, arrogant ass.

What a wonderful discovery!…read more For those of you that had less than kind words to say about Bob, it must be you. Bob, the current owner is sweet as pie. He's also very direct. He either has it, or he doesn't. He doesn't mince words. But with many people, you just need to give him a chance. He's proud of what he does, and you should be too. Yes, it's that impressive. Currently, there's not a lot of smoking of fish going on, but there absolutely is fresh off the boat just caught for you, fish to purchase, along with a couple of different versions of canned fish. This is the first time that I've spent $20 for a can of tuna ( see the picture), and I would do it all over again! It is that delicious. I'm usually pretty hoity-toity with my canned tuna selections, but this really upped the game for me, and I absolutely will not look back. It's not oily, it's not packed with a bunch of unnecessary water, it's just amazing tuna in a can. I also purchased, salmon, smoked, salmon, and sturgeon. We can't wait to try them. We made tuna salad, and literally there was none left. If we could have scraped the bowl even more than we had, we certainly would have. The location is quaint, and if you have the ability to grab some of the fresh fish, I highly encourage you to do it. The scallops looked amazing. It was pretty cool to feel like a local, for a few moments chatting with Bob, and locals were stopping in said hello to us, said hello to Bob, and started chitchatting about family events, or whatever they had going on. It's a great place, Bob offers an amazing product, and it's worth the push !

It's such a great event for the town, bringing in thousands of people there for the 4th of July weekend. The rotary put on this BBQ and they also serve the food. You start through a line, making you way getting fresh corn on the cobb, then Salad, then bread then what everyone is waiting for the salmon. After you finish eating get back up and get in line and get seconds of salmon. They serve beer from North Coast Brewing Company so drink a few cold ones and enjoy the music.

I understand that most barbecue places only make a certain amount of food per day to serve so makes sense. Would love to go back some time to try brisket because they were sold out.

People there are friendly and welcoming, ready to greet you and answer any questions. We tried an impressive meat and cheese board, delicious big salad with lots of goodies, pulled pork sandwich (daily special) and a mouthwatering Cubano panini. Yum! We got a bottle of local "Coho" red blend wine for a reasonable $27. Guaranteed we will return.

My family and I were driving down the coast and were going to be in Eureka for one night. We asked…read morethe front desk lady at our motel where we could get a good steak, and without hesitation she said Shamus T Bones. We looked at the reviews here on Yelp! and were a bit worried at the low overall rating. Well, rest assured, we had a good meal and enjoyed our visit. My wife had the filet mignon, while I ordered the rib eye. I asked our waitress about upgrading to the pricier dry aged rib eye, and she surprisingly talked me out of it saying the regular rib eye was really good. She was right. The combination of the grilling and the buttery sauce was delicious. It didn't need any additional sauce, but out of curiosity I tried the house sauce that was on the table, and it was quite nice. For some reason, they have a Tesla coil (from the original Tesla, not the car company) and they fired it off while we were there. They give plenty of notice before they do as it makes a loud sound and sparks fly about the device. It was interesting. So, if you're in town and looking for a good steak, give this place a try.

2 of 2 Yelp reviews…read more Quality/Quantity - A suggestion from Humboldt Bay Provisions and a home run! Today we got the following: Spicy Garlic Chicken Fries - #1 seller, so I have to try. Boy have I been eating so unhealthy on this trip, but you know that because you are following. Is that part of the reason I am having so much fun? This did not disappoint. I did not think it was very spicy, but my daughter said it was too spicy for her. Good thing she ordered the mild version of garlic chicken; see below. Decent portions. Garlic Chicken - A more mild version of the above. But with rice and mac rather than fries. A slightly healthier version. Ahi Poke Bowl - My wife's choice. Generous portions, especially the tuna; thank you. Because this is raw, we "forced" ourselves to finish this dish first. So good. And to wash it down, supporting local, Sticky Finger IPA. Ambiance - Small local business. The food truck was parked in the rear of the building. Due to the rain, I did not take pictures. Plenty of mall parking. Open 5 days a week, 11:30am to 7pm; closed on Monday and Tuesday. Service - Counter service. Overall okay. Price - $62 + tip. Reasonably priced as we pretty much took an entree to-go. We are light eaters. Owner Comment - Aloha, congrats on your success since 2017; we will be back!
