    Out of the way for most and hidden. Lots of really nice houses around Waterloo and Douglas. This place has bars on windows so makes me sad, to think people would break in or have in past. We were looking for a good bbq place on the way home, in either Perry or Guthrie and found this on Yelp. Went to drive up window and directly ordered with a nice young girl. Food was ready pretty quick. We ordered 2 Ham Sandwiches with Okra and a quart of slaw . Still good when we got home. First let's talk ham..... Ham was good , fried, on a bun. Sad to say 2 of the thinest slices. We felt like it was all bun we were eating. Just one more slice might make a Hugh difference! Now. okra..... Oh so crisp, oh so good! Now Slaw..... Different than our normal sweet slaw. When I looked at it, I thought pure vinager and no way. Then I took a bite and then another. Yes, I decided I liked it! Now on reviews, they say the chicken is the thing to get but I read you still don't get alot. So, if your in area.... Of course Yes eat there. Maybe you can pay extra for enough ham to taste. Definitely convenient for people that live near. Not much on looks but not sure anything else is close by. Food is good and Okra is Great! Can't wait to try Chicken and potato wedges and next time go inside.

    Whenever I get hungry on a road trip, I open Yelp, and try to find a local spot, usually in the middle of nowhere or in a small town. This has resulted in some epic dining experiences, but also some huge disappointments. This place managed to cover both ends of this spectrum at once... a rare feat. This is a true hole in the wall. During our visit, it featured locals debating whether gastric issues were the result of food allergies or tick-borne illness. While some parts of our experience were wonderful, other parts left much to be desired: The good: My oldest daughter's burger looked fantastic, and she said it was really good. The potato salad was creamy and terrific, and the green beans were good too. I liked the fact that you had multiple sausage types to choose from, instead of just one. The service was great. Both employees we dealt with were pleasant, and the lady working the register even gave me a free refill for the road. The OK: My sausage was decent. So were my youngest daughter's chicken strips. The fries were acceptable. The train decor doesn't really suit this place, but it was quaint and interesting. The bad: The place was trashed when we came in. I can forgive having dirty dishes piled on some tables, since they apparently had just finished a rush. What I can't forgive is the sticky floors and nasty bathroom, which featured an open trashcan next to the toilet, filled with toilet paper strips covered in unappetizing skidmarks. The ribs were the worst I have ever paid for. They were dry as a bone, tough, and almost completely lacking in seasoning. The Texas toast was also a disappointment... butter both sides, y'all! When we went to the front to pay, I saw a a local news article declaring their fried chicken to be the best the author ever had. I wish I had seen that article before I ordered. I likely would have had a much better experience. I would come here again, but I would definitely steer clear of the BBQ, and just go with a burger or fried chicken, plus some of their side items. I understand that BBQ snobs from Austin aren't this place's target audience, and in the end, this review won't make a difference. Locals seem to love this place, and that is probably all that matters for its future success...

    The BBQ was excellent. Cooked to perfection. The service was amazing. And the three flavors of sauce were delicious.
