Permanently closed - owners retired at the end of August 2025…read more It was great!! I personally will miss their rib-eye sandwich.

Hard to review a place where the owners don't even take time to claim the yelp profile. Also tough…read moreto eat at a restaurant that's never open. Now I will say I've eaten here twice. (The other call it 5 times I tried to eat here but they were closed.) The brisket is on point just like everyone else said. Okay well I guess that's it. If you're going to try to eat here I suppose you gotta go old school and call them to be sure they're working.

When we first walked in, we were definitely a little confused. There's a small bar area right at…read morethe entrance, so at first we thought that was the entire seating area. But if you keep walking, it opens up into another section with booths. It honestly looks like an employees-only area at first, so we weren't sure if we were supposed to go back there There's also a side entrance that leads directly into that dining area, which makes a lot more sense once you figure out the layout. The place looks a little worn down, but honestly, it adds to the charm and gives it that classic local spot feel. I ordered the burger, onion rings, and cheddar jalapeño poppers, and everything was really good. Bonus points for serving Pepsi products! Always a win for me! The guy working was also incredibly friendly and was somehow managing both cooking and serving. He immediately noticed how confused we looked walking in and kindly pointed us toward the seating area in the back. Great food and genuinely welcoming service. Also, I want to note that their kids meals were only like $3.75....this is perfect because my kids never eat their food!!

I just had lunch there a couple of days ago. The place hasn't changed in the last 40 years or so…read more If I had never been there before and walked through what my buddy and I call the chute, I probably would have walked out the back door. I had the quarter pounder with cheese, an order of onion rings, and in order of mushrooms. Service was fast and polite. The burger was good, as always. Onion rings are great and the mushrooms. We're okay. Don't let the ambiance scare you away. The food has been good as long as I've been coming here.

Came here yesterday for lunch because a few weeks ago I had their Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich…read moreand it was so YUM! That I have been thinking about it all week! So I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with onion rings and a side of their ranch and their onion dip sauce. The sandwich was HUGE very lightly battered and tasty. I only finished half of it bc it was a really generous portion. They do not carry Wood Chuck or Angry Orchard, so I was recommended to try their Sangria Cider and it was good, but after I had it it was a bit sweet so I changed to a blue moon. My husband had the Reuben sandwich and tater tots and he was happy with his meal he finished it all. Looking forward to having another one soon!

I had only gotten take out here before yesterday. It was a great spot to go for Mother's Day,…read moreespecially around 2pm, after the rush. There's a bar with a modern, rustic feeling dining area which is perfect for all types of people. They have seating for most group sizes too. I was a little disappointed by our server as she seemed stressed and preoccupied. Not very personable. I can't even remember her name. Although, she was very prompt, knowledgeable, and made no mistakes. The rest of the staff was awesome and super helpful. Our food came out in a timely fashion with our sides/ appetizers coming out a good amount before our entrees. I always get the blackbird sandwich without cheese but it just wasn't the same as a remember it. The sweet potato fries are phenomenal though, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Everyone else's food was said to be delicious too. Definitely will be back, I love the little drive up there.

Went there a second time. Everything was great except the brisket. Not juicy at all. Disappointing…read more Three of us had the combo platter and one had brisket meal. All dry. Everything else was good. May go back with that knowledge.

Okay let me start by saying all the positives we experienced:…read more 1) what a cute & historic / charming location! there are apparently friendly ghosts if you're into that. 2) that their family meal is an incredible value - $69.99 for Full rack of ribs, whole smoked chicken, 1/2 lb. of smoked brisket or pulled pork. Served with baked beans, creamy coleslaw, french fries and cornbread muffins. Definitely savings vs. ordering that a la carte. 3) online ordering was super convenient & food was ready when quoted. I enjoyed the slaw (not too mayo heavy), the pulled pork (flavorful and nicely smoked) and the cornbread muffins. French fries weren't half bad either. I would come back for the fried pickles, but the Saline location is way closer to me!

I'm a master Smoker of da Meats to say OMG, you must try . I drove 30 minutes so totally worth it, a fantastic addiction.

So addicting Hickory Smoked perfection Yes he knows what we want. Had the Rib Tip Special with two sides, got Fries and Sweet Tater Mash. Absolutely very best Rib Tips ever eaten only $10.

Oklahoma Joe's (KC Joe's now). Jack Stack. This is my baseline. FiveStar delivers. They blend Southern barbecue with soul food, and it works. This is not napkin food. My kids eat it with their shirts off, paper towel roll on standby. Food that leaves evidence and doesn't apologize. The sauce is made in-house and you know it immediately. It doesn't memic Texas, Kansas City, or North Carolina. It's balanced, warm, layered, with a subtle bite that keeps you wanting more. A family recipe, not a regional imitation. The ribs are fantastic and clearly the star. I usually order brisket, the true test of any BBQ joint, but today I went with the pulled pork and it slapped. Paired with their house-made coleslaw that isn't overly sweet (looking at you, Baby Rays), it complements instead of competes. The fryer was down and I wasn't able to get fries. They suggested the beans instead. THANK GOODNESS. These were so delicious, my oldest son took the rest from me. My only complaint: Mogy needs to bottle and sell that sauce. Keeping it to himself feels selfish. The world deserves better.

While the entrance was unimposing the diner inside was inviting and had lots of seating. Our waitstaff and the other staff we interacted with were so nice! The portions were really generous! We opted for breakfast. Hubby had the #3 and instead of hash browns got a yummy bowl of peach slices. I had a veggie and cheese omlette that was full of flavor - the veggies inside were all nicely sautéed. We both chose the raisin toast at a slight uncharge and boy it was worth it. We're already planning our next visit (and we live an hour away!) The value of what we got for the price was very good.
