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 :(

The flavor is smoky and rich, and they were possibly some of the best baked beans I have ever eaten. I also had a pulled pork and mac and cheese sandwich, which was also excellent. There is seating both indoors and out, with a bar outside and a beautiful view of the lake. You can walk straight out to the sandy beach from the back patio. Atmosphere is fun and chill. It's a really great place to doend a summer evening. We watched the sunset from our table. There was a large event when I visited so the wait for food was pretty long, but it was worth waiting for. The servers were super nice, good drinks, good vibes. This pitmaster knows what they're doing! (If you want brisket, go early before it sells out)

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. Bothe very good, and this is coming from a Memphian. Price is quite reasonable in todays world - $20 for a full slab. I've now tried 4 of the top 10-rated BBQ restaurants and this should be rated much higher than 2 stars!!

There did not appear to be any lights on inside (including the lights of the "Open" sign on the door). There was one older gentleman standing inside, glaring out the window while talking on a phone, but that just made us uneasy to approach the door. Drove by around 7:30pm the same Saturday night. The "Open" sign was lit, but the place looked empty.

Great southern smoked food , unique cocktails and craft beer choices!…read more Shared BBQ BFF platter with my father , every part of it was smoked and rich in flavour. It came with brisket, pulled pork , sausage , chicken, ribs and two sides. The Corn bread melts in your mouth , and the mac and cheese side would even be perfect as a main ! My cocktail "smoke and mirrors", had a strong pear taste with a full brandy body. Definitely needs another staff member or two as the drink specialist was also serving the whole restaurant, taking orders and greeting. Including the outside. Although at times we were waiting , for example to pay as it got busier although we waited a while for our bill and drink refills but, it never felt excessively long even with this crutch. Price for quantity, taste , and its classy ambience and style make this place a must go in St. Catharines, even the whole Niagara Region !

Now, I'm typically not someone who orders mac & cheese or even really craves it, but this place is…read morethe exception to that rule. Their mac & cheese is unbelievably flavorful and checks every box for what great comfort food should be. It's rich, creamy, buttery, and packed with cheesy flavor. You will certainly keep going back for another bite. What's even more impressive is that it's gluten-free and honestly, you would never know. The texture is spot on and doesn't sacrifice flavor at all. I've been to several events where they've served it, and it is always one of the first dishes gone. If you come here, this is an absolute must-order.

A choice of four barbecue sauces on the table, plus whatever house sauces you order your ribs with from the kitchen. And of course they have bbq brisket and chicken. The fried chicken is only available on Sundays, which is a shame because it's really good fried chicken. The service is good, the staff know the menu and can guide you toward the custom side that best suits your mood. This is not a fancy place, come dressed as you are, it is loud and rowdy and caters to both young and old guests. It's a fun place to eat. Parking can be a challenge.

The decor is very much in keeping with the classic barbecue joints of the south, the Coca-Cola decorations, the table coverings, even the jukebox in the corner playing rock 'n' roll music. The ribs were very good, although I was glad I got the sauce on the side as it was not exactly to my taste. Barbecue sauce is a very personal matter for most people and I'm sure lots of folks would enjoy it. The fried pickles were an unexpected delight, particularly the house made ranch which really accentuated the flavor. About the only disappointment of the meal was the dried out biscuits and coleslaw that was flavored with some thing unusual. Again, I suspect lots of folks would enjoy these items. I don't know if we will ever come again but we would certainly make a return visit.

We ended up ordering the 2 meat platter with pork and brisket, milk bread, cardamom corn bread with brown butter, potato salad, coleslaw, a barbacurry foldie and banana pudding. Where do I begin? The food was excellent and the flavor combinations brtween the smoked meats and Indian spices were amazing. I never thought brisket with coconut curry would be so good. The coleslaw is delicious with roasted chopped peanuts on top giving it an extra crunch and nutty flavor. The cornbread was so tasty and not dry, especially when you dip it into the brown butter. The pulled pork has an extra seasoning sprinkled on top that gave it another layer of flavor that complimented the smoked meat well. Both the pork and brisket were moist and tasted even better with the hot bbq and coconut curry sauces. My husband enjoyed the potato salad more than I did only because it had a strong mustard flavor, which is personally not my favorite condiment. That's just my taste buds though! The foldie was a naan bread (I believe) filled with meat and slaw and a curry dipping sauce. Delicious. The banana pudding was very good as well. I'm so glad I have leftovers that I'll be eating shortly!
