    Two meats and two sides
    Deborah S.

    We enjoyed the food and the location. Great place to hang out for an evening. The meat and house bbq sauce were delicious!!! The sides were okay for us. The pasta in the pasta salad seemed unnecessary and the slaw did t have much flavor- just vinegarish

    Not good. No caramelization or smoke flavor.

    We wanted this to be good. It's so close and has great outdoor seating. But it's not. Save your money. Seem like good guys but they don't know bbq. The meat tastes bland like it' is baked in an oven and then slathered in sauce. No smoke flavor or caramelization on ribs or burnt ends at all. The sides weren't good either. The Mac and cheese was terribly overcooked. Like mush. Save your money.

    The meat was not only tender, but incredibly flavorful. The firmness was just right, so you could leave a bite mark on it. One time I got a beef rib with little meat on it. The owner gave me a replacement. It's a good idea to say something if you happen to get bad meat.

    Simple bbq food truck with food home style bbq. The Texas Twinkies were delicious and a were a medium hot in spice. The pulled pork was on point, moist and flavorful (my favorite). It had good smoke and sweetness to the pork. The sausage was tasty, had good flavors but a tad too dry for my liking. Good service, fair pricing, tons of homemade sauce choices, and appreciate the generosity in sampling the meats choices.

    I was very happy to stumble upon this place! Soooo good! The bbq was prepared so well and the slaw I got was so good! The guy working the food truck was really nice. I'd reccomend stopping here!

    Here's our Pulled Pork Sandwich with the side of Mac and Cheese. You see the texture of the Mac in this photo.

    This was our first time eating at this establishment we were so excited as we live in a small town so good options are more limited. It's a new spot with many different food places/choices all in one space called the Phoodery. We really love BBQ so we opted for Ma's my fiancé ordered and the women working the counter were rude and couldn't even fake being happy or crack a smile. He got the Pulled Pork w/ bbq sauce, jalapeños, slaw and pickled onions with a side of Mac and Cheese. When we got the sandwich it was very lightly dressed with bbq so he kindly went up to ask for a little extra and was met by a what do you want from one of the ladies working the line. Overall the sandwich was good. The mac and cheese was not great or very creamy it had more of a curdled appearance. 4 stars for the sandwich ~ 0 Stars for the service it was so bad that I had to give an overall experience a 3 we came on a Sunday noonish.

    Pulled pork and ribs

    Great roadside find after a long day of sightseeing. Friendly owners and fall-off-the bones tender and tasty ribs as well as pulled pork. Yummy sides included their own baked beans, potato/mac salad, Mexican corn. Highly recommended!

Purchased an entree of MacNCheese with Brisket for $17.00. I asked for a side of sauce for the brisket in case it gets dry. We received a laughable 1-2 teaspoons of meat juice in a tablespoon sized to go container. The brisket is thinly sliced and has a nice smoke ring; super tender, no knife needed. It is exactly 4oz of brisket (weighed). The macNcheese was different, used penne pasta with ridges (nice), topped with A LOT of garlic butter, so much so that there was a puddle of oil/butter in the container that had separated on the way home. A solid 1 cup of macNcheese (more butter/oil than cheeziness) with the exactly 4oz (weighed) brisket for $17.00. The portions are insanely small for the price point. Food is fine, but it is Ridiculously Expensive for what it is. I wouldn't recommend it.

Great kitchen set up for sure. I had ribs, brisket and meatball. Tasty and a little different from my usual type BBQ. Brisket was a little dry and sliced a little too thin for my taste but fairly good. Ribs had great flavor and just the right amount of "bite" Meatball was spicy and flavorful. Next time through town I'll do some of his other dishes as they looked very appealing but I was looking for BBQ.

You can tell there's real care behind the flavor development. The "For 2" dish is such a smart way to experience multiple components of the menu --beautifully composed and perfect for sharing. And the Beef Miami? Genuinely unforgettable. The depth of flavor, the richness, the balance, it's indulgent without being heavy, bold without overwhelming the palate. It's one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-bite. Service is quick and efficient with a walk-up, pay-first setup that keeps things casual and streamlined. The vibe is relaxed and low-key, usually not crowded, which makes for a really enjoyable dining experience. That said, I almost wish it had more buzz because the food absolutely deserves the recognition. Portions lean slightly smaller, so I'd recommend ordering an appetizer along with your entrée to get the full experience. With food this thoughtful and well-executed, it's worth exploring more of the menu anyway. Overall, a creative and refreshing presence in Ashland that feels chef-driven and inspired. Definitely a spot worth supporting and revisiting.

Overall: Delicious flavors, but all of the proteins were extremely dry/overcooked. I can tell that if you ordered earlier in the day that this would not be an issue. We ordered ~1pm and it was evident that all of the proteins are cooked early and sit and dry out as the hours go on... Yum Nue =$13.00 (a little spicy in a good way) This is a flavor bomb! I love the combination of fresh romaine and vegetables and the bed of sauce soaked rice at the bottom *YUM* I ordered later in the day so I guess she ran out of beef, so mine was both dried out beef and dried out chicken breast. Again, order earlier in the day and I'm sure it would have been better. BBQ Pineapple Teriyaki $12.00 (not at all spicy) Very flavorful and uses fresh pineapple. Only downside was the dried out chicken and some very crunchy burnt chicken ends were not expected and unpleasant. Would have been perfect had we ordered earlier in the day when the proteins were first cooked. I would order again, but much earlier in the day for the sake of the proteins. I understand the need to prep ahead of time, but the dried out proteins are avoidable and should be addressed.

    I was extremely disappointed with my experience at the Phoodery. I saw on the website that they had…read moreshaved ice, and I was very excited to have some, as I have a small stomach but a big sweet tooth. Upon my arrival at the Phoodery in the mid-afternoon I found that the shaved ice place was CLOSED. I distinctly remember reading on the website that they were open everyday until closing time (9pm), so the lack of shaved ice disappointed me immensely. Like I mentioned before, I have a small stomach, but the coworkers I was with had some food from the other vendors and it looked quite good actually. I wasn't going to get anything until I had my feelings very publicly hurt by a coworker, and hence needed immediate soothing via something sweet. I went to go get ice cream and received three scoops the size of those mandarin oranges that children get in their lunch pails for a whopping EIGHT DOLLARS. I quite literally could've gotten two whole pints of ice cream at a gas station for that price. What's even more tragic is that they gave me a metal spoon. I wanted nothing more than to leave immediately with my ice cream so that I could go cry in the car while eating it, but as the metal spoon belonged to the Phoodery, I could not leave without stealing it. I should've stolen it. Then I would've gotten my eight dollars worth. Kidding! The ice cream was fine, but I wanted to go home, so I gave the metal spoon back and went to the car spoon-less. My ice-cream did in fact melt on the car drive back home. :,( Long story short, food was good, but it was expensive and portion sizes were small. Service was fine. Seating is better for larger groups (3-12). The Phoodery has canteen-style seating, so I feel like it would be a bit awkward to be there as just one or two people.

The ranch was oddly delicious (I don't like ranch as a rule but my daughter does). The wings don't come with celery that I know of but I was bringing them home. It was so cold that I hung out by the heaters inside. It was pleasant but I also got an old fashioned with the excuse that it was cold out! I hadn't realized they have a full bar over with the beer selection. Realized after I ordered that they have Hot Toddy's - that was a missed opportunity. While not happy about the other food places leaving over bad terms, I frankly didn't like the ones that left anyway. I wish the prices were slightly better but I think their rent isn't helping. In general it would be great if this place does well as I'm often nearby.
