    Delicious!

    The food is absolutely delicious, the best bbq in LV for sure. My daughter and I really enjoyed looking at the art displayed throughout the space, it was a great lunch with amble leftovers

    More cool art.

    First time trying this place on the recommendation of my son who goes to Lehigh. This place is great. The burnt ends were melt in your mouth tender and Ribs were delicious. The service was outstanding and the chefs and wait staff were super friendly Definitely coming back.

    Brisket dinner with gourmaq-n-cheese and slaw.

    Best BBQ in the Lehigh Valley. If you catch them on a day with burnt ends, get them! Since I left Kansas City 10 years ago, I've been looking for good burnt ends and they finally hit the spot. Brisket and pulled pork were amazing too. Good bark. Incredibly tender. Mango slaw was something different and surprisingly tasty. It reminded me of Carolina red slaw, and the mangos balanced the bitterness of the cabbage perfectly. Mac n cheese was rich and quite cheesy. It was worth the up charge, but would be over the top if it had some bacon. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The dining area was brightly decorated with items and artwork that had personality... a mixture of Lehigh Valley, Philly, Chicago, hip-hop, and BBQ. Food is presented simply in disposable paper baskets with plastic utensils and paper napkins... nothing fancy. But if it was fancy, it wouldn't be real BBQ.

    The Bonn Special includes 1 meat (brisket), mac n cheese, and 1 side (elote).

    Ive been coming here every week for the last 3 months up from lancaster and everytime without fail…read morehave bin welcomed with the big smile and exuberant energy of Ques. she has consistently provided fantastical service and most definetly needs a raise. love you ques. -huddy

    Hands down, this is the BEST Southern restaurant in the area... by far. Honestly, I don't even know…read morewhere to begin. I'm from New York, and my sister moved to Pennsylvania, so she introduced me to this spot. Now every single time I visit her, I somehow end up right back here because the food is just that good. They used to have a second location that closed, but honestly, it doesn't even matter because this one was always my favorite, the food here is on another level. We always start with the Brussels sprouts, the fried green tomatoes, or the hush puppies. You simply cannot go wrong with any of them. The appetizers are always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. And then there's the mac and cheese... absolutely to die for. Even the children's mac and cheese is ridiculously good. Creamy, cheesy, comforting, exactly how mac and cheese should be. Their salads deserve their own shoutout too. The goat cheese salad with pickled eggs is perfection, and the Caesar with cornbread croutons? Genius. It's the kind of detail you don't expect but end up craving every time you think about it. But of course, the real star of the entire place is the cornbread. Truly heavenly. They serve it warm, and the whipped butter melts right into it, it's honestly dangerous how good it is. I could eat the entire dish by myself without hesitation. The service is always great, quick, friendly, and welcoming. It's one of those places where the vibes feel just as good as the food tastes. On weekends, it does get packed, so making a reservation is probably a smart idea. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food, the atmosphere, the consistency, everything hits. I will always come back whenever I'm in the area, and yes... mostly because the cornbread is truly that good.
