Both sandwiches were super hot, so we ended up eating them open-faced. Styrofoam also melted. The mac and cheese was tasty but light on noodles, and the baked beans were solid. The place is small but quiet. Overall, decent. We'll try it again in the future.

It's a wooden cabin located right in front of a drive thru store. The parking lot has some spaces but it definitely needs some work done - a lot of potholes due to the weather. Once you get out of your car, you can smell the smokiness of the bbq place. Inside, they have wooden picnic tables but space is limited - there are only 4 tables. It definitely gives cozy cabin vibes. They have a screen next to the menu to place your order. There was only one gentleman behind the counter fulfilling orders. Although not many people were eating in, they seemed busy with takeout orders. Due to the lack of workers, tables weren't being wiped down and there was some trash on the floor. Anywho, we tried their kitchen sink and a half chicken. The pulled pork was my favorite. It was so juicy and had the perfect smokiness to it. The ribs were good too. I was excited to try the brisket but was left disappointed after the first bite since it was cold. The mac & cheese also had good flavor but it was also barely even warm. The chicken had the smoky taste too but it lacked seasoning. Overall this place has potential. If they fixed their food temperature, improved the cleanliness, and friendlier customer service, this place would be a 5/5.

Lots of seasonings sprinkled on all the meat, not just the jerk chicken - might've been nice to know that in-advance. Hot link was too spicy for me. And not a fan of rib tips. Wings and brisket excellent. Baked beans as a side were delish.

I usually go for the Brisket sandwich meal (around $15), and it's a solid deal for the quality and portion you get. They're also the first place I go on Veterans Day as they offer free meals to veterans, and it's done with genuine appreciation, not just for show. On top of that, they always honor a veterans discount year-round, which is the kind of respect and support that makes me want to keep coming back. Great food, great people, and a business that gives back. Easy five stars.

However I come from Texas and am a BBQ snob. The burnt ends were just burned gristle so they got us on that one. One rib was amazing but the other two were not good.

On to the chicken wings which had a nice flavorful crust to them and still had some moistness to them. Next up were the ribs, they had a nice thin dry rub on them, not super spicy. Next up was the coleslaw that was off the chart, the mixture of the pineapple with a slightly sweet sauce just put it in a different category. The Mac and cheese was made with small elbow macaroni and a nice creamy cheese sauce, Yummmy. The final item was the baked beans which had a slightly sweet sauce to them. Good stuff!!! Oops!!! Almost forgot the sauces. The original was a nice blend of spices and just a touch of sweetness to it. As I am writing this, keep dipping my fingers in it. Yummmy!! The spicy sauce has just enough heat to it, won't burn your taste buds off. This probably one of the best Food Trucks I have visited. Get out and check Lonnie and his crew out. They do around 300 lbs of meat a day. You won't be disappointed. Don't be shut out!!!

I grabbed 3 orders of pulled pork, a full rack of ribs, and 2 orders of mac and cheese. The sauce is okay. A good mix of sweet and spicy. Not too overwhelming for kids. I might ask for the pulled pork without it on it next time (just a preference). Next time, I'll also probably try the spicy sauce on my own. It was good on the ribs, though. The ribs were great. I think they know definitely know their way around a smoker and bbq. The ribs were tender, smoky, and well-balanced with the sauce. I like the packaging, too, because the container can go straight in the fridge. The Mac and cheese was solid. My wife liked it, and we ate both servings between the two of us. For the money, we will be back. BBQ can be expensive to make on your own and buy already cooked. They've done a great job of balancing cost and quality. We will be back!

Delicious BBQ at this new food truck…read more The fried bologna sandwich was a huge hit and a great deal at only $6. The bologna was cooked perfectly with a great tasting outside char on it to add flavor. I absolutely loved this sandwich. The beef brisket sandwich was also delicious. The sandwich comes with one side and costs $13. The sandwich was really good and the BBQ sauce was perfect on it. I only wish this sandwich was a little bigger. The service was fast and very friendly. I can see this food truck being a popular attraction in the Columbus area.

I ordered the Brisket Sandwich with Macaroni and cheese, smoked cabbage and baked beans. The Macaroni and cheese was a creamy cheese version that was really good. The baked beans had a really good smooth taste to them. Good stuff. One of the stars was the smoked cabbage, this definitely a must if you're ordering from them. I could have ordered several of these. Delicious!! On to the star of the show. The Brisket, OMG!!! This has to be in top echelon of Briskets I've ever had. It was super moist with a nice tasty pepper crust. It was phenomenal all by itself but you do have some bbq sauce included to add a little more flavor IF you want. Mike is use 3 different smokers for different options for making his products. He is using cherry, maple and hickory for smoking his products. You can really tell that they care about the product they are producing. If you get the chance you should definitely check them out

I'm the only one there, but everything is ready. I like that. The place is really nice, all their tables are very big, since I'm the only one there, they seated me but damn....thats a table of 4, even tho the table is big enough for 6, so you can imagine I'm by myself, I'm like a little Mickey Mouse in Grand Canyon National Park. lol If you haven't been to Grand Canyon, you should go. Wait...the minute!!! Focus here... Anyway, even tho I'm the only one at the restaurant, the server still very nice, and pay more attention to me, you know how sometimes servers don't pay much attention since is only one table, not here.

There are "flames" at the tops of the walls separating the booths that give the place a warm and welcoming yet cool and trendy vibe (safe to touch - it's just fog and lighting tricks). Child-friendly as well. Service: attentive server who was checking on us frequently. He did seem like he was running around quite a bit, but he was hardworking and friendly. Food: There are AYCE hot pot and Korean BBQ options available here. They have a pretty large menu to choose from, including scallops, mussels, a variety of meats and veggies. Their spring rolls were a tasty appetizer to add to our feast. The buffet section also had a tasty crab salad, kimchi, and a variety of desserts to choose from. There was an ice cream cooler with vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate hershey's ice cream to enjoy. One unique aspect was the sauce station - you can still DIY your sauces, but jf your creative side needs a little inspiration, they have recipes to make your own sauce. The house special shacha sauce recipe was my favorite.

Three words: Country; Fried; Chicken. Wow…read more I decided to stop at this little local place while staying in town for the week based on some solid reviews (and the fact that I made some fried chicken of my own for my family last night but didn't really end up getting any before I left). I started out with a 101 Jungle Bird as I'm a rum drinker and liked the idea of a bourbon-forward one instead. I'll say that this was much more fruity than a Jungle Bird and without the bitterness (no Campari). It also didn't taste very strong but it definitely hit me pretty good. Definitely a tasty-but-dangerous one there. For food, I opted for the Country Fried Chicken. What a fantastic choice indeed. The breast was either butterflied or pounded flat but still thick enough to give a good bite. The outside was cooked to absolute perfection with a crunchy texture without being burned or underdone. The inside was tender and juicy. The whole piece was seasoned beautifully and that was even without any of the delicious white gravy. The Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes that accompanied were similarly well done with great flavor. And the cherry on top was that the portion size was PERFECT. Not a ton of carbs and things that left me feeling beyond full or guilty that I had a bunch of leftover food to likely toss. The seat at the bar was a great place to be. A handful of seats staring at nothing but a huge wall of bourbon. To your back are a series of large high tops and, unfortunately for me, on this night were full of a rather loud group. An unintended side effect of the close quarters but I'm sure not a regular thing. The place is otherwise quite cozy and comfortable and in line with the southern cooking motif. My bartender, Mike, was also very friendly and happy to chat a little about my travels and share our regional sports experiences. All in all, absolutely outstanding. Great food, wonderful staff, and an impressive drink selection. I'm looking forward to coming back here again.

The pretzel rolls were a big hit as well. Salty but still soft. While relaxing the kids got chilly and Kyle offered them blankets which was a really nice touch. Then came the meal. The kids ordered playbread pizzas (sauce was a little spicy), Mac and cheese (which was devoured), and chicken tenders (good amount for a kids meal!). Adults had the sweet potato pasta (delish! And had a little kick), salmon (which they raved about how flaky and well cooked it way), baked cod (flavorful and prepared well), fried cod (nice and flaky, great batter!), and lemon chicken (chicken was a little dry but overall delicious). The potatoes that came with many meals were crispy and soft, perfectly seasoned. This was a really good meal, and we will definitely be back when in town!
