Second BBQ on our vacation trip. The first was good but a little too smoky. This was just worth…read moredrive as the brisket had just the right amount smoke flavor but not too overpowering. Both the wife and I got brisket plates that come with two sides. She got lean and I got fat and both were great. We both got potato salad and Mac and cheese. The sides were great too. I'm picky about potato salad and this is just like my wife makes. Really good. The Mac and cheese was just right. I really can't say enough when you can find someone who just fixes it with getting creative and adding all kinds of stuff. The service was great. A husband and wife team own and make really great BBQ. If you are in the area or close it's worth stopping by. Highly recommended. Too bad we are not here another day :(

Years ago we saw the show that centered around under dog bbq. Finally we made it here after our…read morelast visit to Erie when we found the location we went to was closed. Walking in I didn't get that bbq vibe right off the bat. Sure there were some sauces and ribs for sale but I was kind of left wondering if this was a bbq place. Our waiter / cook/ bartender had us seated in the wide open dining area and drinks moving in no time, we placed our food order shortly afterwards. The misses got the nachos, the chips were probably the best part of the dish, the queso was on the bland side and the chicken ... well some was tender and some really not so much. Kind of in impressed. The little yelper was down for her usual tenders, there was two large hand breaded tenders in the basket, and some fries. The tender breading wasn't a hit with her but that chicken was better than the nachos meat. After some peeling she ate it. The fries though, definitely could have used a little more time down, the weren't really crispy and had a hot sog to them. I got the smoked wings. Hellfire and rust belt. Of the two rubs the rust belt was the sweetest and overall best , but I'm a fan of spice and the hellfire was definitely the winner. The chicken wings had the same Kind of inconsistency . Some were perfectly cooked, others a bit dry. But their bleu cheese really was the standout for me. As a top wing reviewer in 2025 I've had a lot of wings and bleu cheese. This I would probably give a 7/10. Definitely saved the day with the wings. Underdog was a bit underwhelming but service really saved the day here. He was attentive, helpful And overall just great. The food however, definitely not what we had hoped for.

I suspect my experience isn't unique, as this place only has a couple reviews since it opened - perhaps the owners need to pay attention to their marketing. Anyway, we had ribs and brisket.

Driving from Buffalo to Pittsburgh there were several requests in the car for "good french fries"…read more I did a google search and Lucky Louie's popped up so we figured we'd try it. The place itself is pretty tiny. About three tables and hightop chairs along the bar. The menu is on the wall and huge! We ordered the kids Octodog which was a huge it. It is a hot dog cut into the shape of an octopus and served over macaroni and cheese. The octopus even had a face cut into it. My daughter said it was almost too cute to eat. My husband got the two dog special - two smaller versions of their signature dogs - because he was having a hard time deciding. They were served on "regular" hot dog rolls vs. the specialty buns most of theirs come on, but it was a perfect way to get to try two different flavors for the price of one of their signature dogs. I got the greek fries. DELICIOUS! I love the flavor of their greek sauce and the combo of the ingredients was just perfect. If I order this in the future, I'll probably add a hot dog chopped up on the top (to get the taste of a favorite dish from a hot dog shop back home). Service was quick and friendly. Overall a wonderful place with a great selection of unique and creative fry and hot dog options. Definitely a place we will be back to!

That's all you taste is smoke. I am aware that it's bbq and that the food would have been smoky but this is way too much. Even my father who is an avid meat smoker agreed. There were also 5 out of 8 who ended up with food poisoning. 10/10 not a good experience. Based off of the sickness alone I would not go back. My father called and left a detailed message just letting them know that 5 of us got sick. Last I knew he hadn't heard back from them. The item in common that us sick people had was the brisket.

Stopped by for lunch today. Had the 'Treehorn' - local Bello's cajun sausage and pulled pork on a…read moretoasted hoagie roll. It was served with chips and homemade pickle slices. Nice touch of the butcher paper. The sausage had great spice & smoke. The pulled pork was sort of an after thought as the sausage portion was good, the pork could have been a little more abundant. The décor is nice, with a hand-painted mural in the back room that tells the story of the Que/Dude. Several pieces of art/photography on the walls. I expect it to evolve . . . I enjoyed the sandwich enough that I got a pound of pulled pork to go (now in the freezer after a suitable sampling) one thing I like is that the pulled pork is just that. It comes with sauce on the side although. The smoke and flavor of this pork is excellent and did not require any sauce to be thoroughly enjoyed. I will be going back soon as there are sooo many items on their menu that I need to try. Which includes the ice cream!

We didn't like anything. Everything was flavorless, and over priced. We had the firebird's duranjo burger. Nice size, but over cooked and not seasoned. The parmesean crusted chicken, although a nice size and cooked perfectly again no seasoning, expected to be able taste the Parmesan crust, nothing.. We both upgraded our side to the southwest au gratin potatoes. Au gratin potatoes a creamy jalepeno cream sauce sounds like a flavor bomb, NOPE, the potatoes were under cooked and not sure how you manage not to get flavor out of jalepeno cream sauce, but they did! The crispy cauliflower with the jar sweet chili sauce was probably the best thing we did have. You can get brunch all day so, I ordered the hipster toast, and I was pictured cat fished. Mine was nothing like the picture, although I appreciate they didn't build the toast for take out and allowed me to do that myself. Still, there was maybe 7 little little cubes of avocado, no pickled onions, no spiced pecans, no parmesan cheese. What I did get was a piece of toast with goat cheese, then a box of arugula, 7 pieces of small small avocado, candied bacon pieces, radishes and heirloom tomatoes. Basically a 17 plus salad on bread. Totally a waste and not worth it. I will say though, the cilantro lime vinaigrette was delicious. But spending over 90 bucks and only enjoying a vingerette and cauliflower, won't have be coming back. Maybe ordering on Superbowl Sunday was a mistake, but I'll never know.

The food, the service, the atmosphere. Everything was perfect. We were seated and our server was very friendly and attentive. We started with the BBQ MAG NACHO, which caught my attention on the menu. I wish I had ordered the larger portion after just taking one nacho. It blew me away. That's definitely something I'd recommend everyone for appetizers. I also got the DOUBLE STACK BURGER and paid extra to have my fries loaded. Again, it was delicious. The burger came out with a knife stabbed into it, some extra burger veggies on the side, and the loaded fries with a generous amount of cheese sauce. Everything about the burger and loaded fries was amazing, the only small complaint I have is that both of our burgers were slightly overcooked. We had both requested medium but got it almost well done. But because of how perfect everything else was, it made me ignore that. Oh, and if you've never been to Smokey Bones before, they have salt and pepper as well as many varieties of BBQ sauce on the table. It was amazing with the burger. Definitely try a little bit of each to fin your favorite one. Definitely looking forward to coming back if I ever stop in Erie again!
