The home-made sauces were standout - especially their medium and spicy! Get a flight of sauces for $2! Best barbecue we've had in a while, and in Upland, IN of all places.

Our waitress was so friendly and accommodating! Every single thing I've tasted has been excellent. That includes the brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, Mac & cheese, Cole slaw, baked beans, French fries and the best for last...the fried pickle spears and fried onions petals are the best I've ever had. An order of pickle spears included 5 huge spears and was probably enough for some people to eat as a meal. Same goes for the onion petals. This isn't a fried piece of onion. It's like a quartered onion then deep fried chunks of it. And the batter on both was so light and crispy! I have not tried any dessert. The very next time you go out to eat--eat here!!

You have an experience that will please any pallet. I love it that they have three different barbecue sauces for you to choose from, Hot, sweet and mild. To me it lets you choose the flavors you like because one has a little more of a brown sugar taste and the other has a little more of a vinegar taste. I like to dip my sandwich. I got the visit in the evening and introduce a friend from Michigan to one of my favorite restaurants. He was so happy with a brisket. There is so much history and so many cool things to read on the walls. The decor is charming and it's an awesome place to sit and have a beer and catch up with a friend afterwards. It's my favorite for lunch and dinner in the depot district.

My boyfriend and I took a couple bites of our food and gave it back to the waitress with how awful it was. We spoke to the owner about how we did not enjoy our meal and would like our money back. She was very rude and said "everyone else seems to like it, it all comes from the same pan. Sorry, I wont refund your money back" Very unprofessional as a business owner that she wont even refund our money back when we didn't even eat our food cause it was that bad. I highly do not recommend eating at this place!

They should post on their FB page or something. Split the full rack of ribs with hubby. Ribs were good. Came with 2 sides (board did not indicate this). The fried potatoes as a side were ok, but received very small portion. Had cottage cheese as second side. Nice serving of that. Worst part of meal was the margarita. 4 of us at the table had margaritas (special for the night). No matter the flavor (we had 3 of them), they were not good: tooooo sweet and no tequila. Also, they only take cash. Again, something that should be obviously stated on their FB page since they don't have a website. Most of us liked our food, but skip the margaritas and bring cash. Not sure we'll travel 45+ minutes to return.

I didn't know it was pirate themed prior to coming, which was interesting. I don't understand it, but I'm sure there is a reasoning. We placed our order at the front quickly, and had our food out fast. We were able to find a table easily. The place wasn't too loud, and felt clean. We had a 1/2 brisket sandwich with coleslaw and rolls, as well as "The captain", which we both greatly enjoyed. The brisket wasn't anything out of the world, but for the price I'm impressed by how much we get. The slaw was great- a mayo based sauce. The rolls had a nice garlic taste. The fries were crispy, and had plenty of toppings. Overall, for the price of barbecue now a days, I'm impressed and will come back. Two barbecue meals, and two canned alcohol beverages for $45, along with good service and fun atmosphere is hard to find these days.

So you don't have to go through the restaurant if you dont want to. Its dark and moody in all the best ways. I was warmly greeted by the bartenders. I took a seat at the actual bar even though they had plenty of seating. I was super impressed with the cocktail list. All the drinks sounded delicious . I asked the bartender for suggestions. I decided to go for the Key Lime martini. Beautiful presentation and it tasted just like a key lime pie. My friend ordered the spicy margarita. It came in a cool, skull glass. Overall, very impressed with the drinks and the service. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their speciality cocktails.
