    This is a place that you would consider the middle of nowhere but the food is unexpectedly good. Now the bbq I am a snob that goes to Terry Blacks and other elite bbq joints. But for where we were at this is good not great. But I came on here to talk about how elite the wings are. They are smoked then crispy with elite choices of sauce. Wings are an absolute must order.

    The best BBQ I've ever had!!!! Will definitely be making more trips to come back. We tried a little bit of everything and loved it ALL!

    Take my money Russell! Probably the best BBQ in NWPA! Picked up some catering. Employees were friendly and easy to work with. Original sauces were awesome. Good smoked meats and tasty sides. All compliments from our party!

    I did not expect BBQ this good HERE. It's not in-Texas good, or in-StL good, or in-Carolina good, but it's in-Linesville amazing! Got the Doomsday - the 12-person meal, the first one they've *ever* served for eat-in. It satisfied, plus a good amount extra. I somewhat of a meat-smoker myself, and not too shabby if I do say so. So, my measure is always just in comparison to my own... Ribs: better than mine, pretty perfect. Pulled pork: As good as mine, but different. Very good. Brisket: A little dry. Then again mine tends to be dry too. So... about as good as mine, but that's not necessarily great. Chicken: Very tasty, very dry. Turkey: I've never done it, me likey. Sides were generous and very tasty as well. We sampled all the sauces, and they were good but I'd prefer a little more HEAT. So, all-in-all I'd TOTALLY recommend this if you're in the Pymatuning area! It's worth maybe even a 30-40 minute drive. We don't get to this area often, but if we do we will definitely be back!

    The brisket was really tough and the fries weren't done. The Cole slaw was good. Would not recommend.

    Had there barnyard fries. Wasn't really impressed. The brisket really didn't have any smoke flavor. A little disappointed.

    At long last a great BBQ restaurant in Northern PA. We lack BBQ in the north and our Southern cousins would rate this high. Delicious!
