Amazing. Incredible. You might think Maxons is a little out of the way, and it is. But the big city…read morehas got nothing on this place when it comes to unique flavor! It's hard to describe the way they've carved out an entirely new BBQ flavor. I had the BBQ tacos with pulled pork, which was dynamic. The parfait is certainly a unique way to deliver the whole experience in a single convenient dish. Beans in the bottom, pulled pork, with coleslaw on top. Certainly the different types of slaw influenced the overall flavor but I think it was also the way the cabbage in the slaw was rough cut instead of shredded. Siracha and Dijon were in the driver's seat with one of the slaws I tried. The staff was super friendly. Although the restaurant is a humble place it was jammed when we were there. If I lived in the area I'd probably show up once a week too! Maxons clearly captured the rural area's attention and some folks from town were there too. What a great experience. From the moment see left our vehicle we could smell the fire and the smoking meat. Wonderful! Give Maxons a try!

We set up our chairs on the street next to Molasses, near the stage. And... we became hungry and benefitted from Molasses. We were able to order and enjoy the wonderfully tasty burnt ends before they were sold out; we also enjoyed some tasty street corn and some adult and non-alcoholic beverages. The staff is fantastically helpful and friendly. We look to return on our next visit. Thanks, Molasses!

Overall not bad, although I've certainly had better in other places…read more The decor is right on point with what you would expect in a barbecue joint. They all seem to have the country Honky Tonk bar appearance, and I suppose that's what people expect. The staff was reasonably attentive, although they weren't terribly busy the night I've visited so I suppose they didn't have a lot to do, lol. I ordered the ribs with a side of coleslaw. Overall the ribs were fine, but they weren't quite as tender as I'm used to. As I recall the coleslaw was adequate but nothing special. Pricing was a little on the high side, but I get it that it cost money to run a place like this. Overall I don't think I would be inclined to come back.

The meat dinners are good portion sizes and worth the money…read more 4/5 Meats: smoked sausage & pulled chicken were our favorite. I also had the ribs and they were tender and juicy but not much flavor without adding sauce. 3/5 Sides: due to not having a ton of flavor, the slaw and Yams were the best, the Greens weren't anything special, needed more seasoning and the mac was bland. Not super impressed with the cornbread either, very cakey. 5/5 Sauces: personally, loved them all. 10/10 service: Veronica was our server and she was fantastic. Restaurant was out of wings, but she was extremely communicative and friendly, offered other suggestions, so kind and knowledgeable about sauces and the whole menu. She was great! The location itself needs a bit of love, no sign outside - just a white board. It looks like they're still remodeling - but it was clean (bonus!), good music was playing, and the decor on the walls was a nice touch. Service really saved this review from being 3/5 and took this up to a 5 star review.

Wife and I stopped in while visiting the Thumb and unfortunately left disappointed. The food wasn't…read morebad, but it was very mediocre experience considering the price and wait time. We ordered a rack of ribs ($32 with no sides), chili cheese fries ($19), and brisket fries ($17). Our takeout order took about 50 minutes, and after a convenience fee and tip, the total came to over $87. The ribs were fairly fatty and average at best. The chili cheese fries were covered with so much chili that they were more like a bowl of chili with fries underneath. The brisket fries were probably the best item we ordered, although the meat was more similar to shaved steak than the BBQ brisket we expected. To be fair, the portions were generous, and while we were waiting, a local customer mentioned that the mac and cheese is one of their better menu items. The staff was also friendly. That said, for nearly $90 for takeout for two people, I expected a much better overall experience. Nothing we ordered stood out, and the food quality simply didn't justify the price or the 50-minute wait. Based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're specifically going for menu items that regulars suggest. Last note for fairness- the actual SMOKE/tenderness of the ribs was very good.
