Guess they have changed how they make them, like forgetting to put much meat on there. If you are wanting lots of beans, some cheese and bbq sauce and chips then these are the nachos for you!! What a huge disappointment!!! I'm hoping the sandwiches haven't changed also but won't order the nachos again.

The reviews were very positive, so I drove a bit out of my way to find Mike & Zack's, which was a bit of a hole in the wall, nearly always a good sign for me. I was the first customer of the day as the door was locked when I tried to enter. Must say I was a bit disappointed. For the pulled pork BBQ sandwich, there was an upgrade to more meat, which I did. I ordered baked beans as my side. Well, the upgrade to large was surprisingly small. The beans came in an extremely small container. There was one choice of sauce, which was OK, but I like a little more kick. Couldn't eat two bites of the sandwich as they were gristle. The decorations with all their awards was impressive. Maybe it was because it was so early in the day, but the bar was set pretty low.

The food was good, I had the cheesesteak, but all I got on the sandwich was the meat, a very small amount of cheese and no mushrooms. The fries it came with were really good, crispy with a good taste. The sweet tea was very good! If we go again, I'll try a chicken dish, hopefully it will be better!

I had a small rib/1/2 pork steak combo with onion rings (superb) and baked beans (bland) Beans could have used some meat pieces and BBQ sauce. My ribs were dry and 1/2 pork steak a little dry also. My wife had a pork steak meal, and she was pleased with hers. She thought hers was very tender. Prices were reasonable, They only serve brisket on Friday, unfortunately. We tried it based on the Rural Missouri write up, and due to its location (Piedmont), I do not think we would be back.

Best stop on our road trip!…read more My husband and I were driving cross country for work relocation. This particular one was New York to LA and stopped in his old high school town to try some local BBQ. We were not disappointed. Brothers BBQ is out of a small building with outdoor seating only. The brisket was juicy and thick cut, the sauce serving was generous and paired nicely with the char on the fat layer. My husband's hot link sandwich was delicious, the meat was sumptuous and flavorful. Finally the sides were surprisingly just as good if not even better than the BBQ! The collard greens were made perfectly, so hard to find a place that does it right and coaxes out such delicious flavors. The beans were by far the star though, I've never had better at any establishment in the country. There's some sort of ground meat and a little bit of spicy BBQ flavor that make these so irresistible. If you're in the area or even just passing through like we were don't wait to give this place a try. 10/10 would come back again.

Nice smoked flavor with the ribs, which were done dry. The meat did not fall off the bone though, the way I typically like my ribs. Added BBQ sauce, which was on the table. Sausage is kielbasa style. No complaints but also not spectacular. The best part might have been the bun, which tasted like it was fried in butter. Yum! We also got the following sides: Mac n cheese, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans. They tasted fine, but like they were bought from a store. But it's a fun place and great place to take kids. Pretty lake out back and really nice garden setup outside.

I guess I have to settle for once a year on the annual rafting trip down the mighty current river.

This no-nonsense place sporting a bare dirt floor serves up some serious BBQ.
