I'd say my brisket was on the dryer side however the sauces were great! All the meats were incredible and the cornbread and onion rings were a showstopper for sure. Definitely some of the best I've had around and it is tough to find huge onion rings! Our waitress was fantastic and incredibly patient and kind as we waited on one more of our party. She knew the menu very well and made our experience great. The place itself is nice and very spacious! I also liked they had fires and an outdoor patio to go eat outside. I'll for sure be back when craving some bbq.

There is plenty of seating for small and large groups. There's a place to get your drink and grab some sauce from a variety of options. Our food came out quickly and portions were of good size. The Nashville hot chicken was dusted with some seasoning. It was not hot and quite frankly i couldn't taste the seasoning. The size was good and the chicken tasted good after I added some sauce. The nachos were delicious and full of flavor. The baked beans were solid as was the mac n cheese. And I had to get the hush puppies and they didn't disappoint.

So if you're looking for cheap go somewhere else. Here the price matches the quality. Service is above average. I judge this by if I must ask for a drink refill of if the server is attentive enough to notice. They are perfect here. Checking in with you about needs without being a pain in the ass. Atmosphere is subdued light in a bar Atmosphere. Yet you can talk in a normal voice to who you're with. All in all you might be tempted to pass by "bar food" in a strip mall. But at dinner time you will often see a waiting line for a table, this should be a clue that locals will wait. The OWNER is always here and will stop by to make sure your expectations are met. He doesn't want your experience to be "just" ok.

Upon…read more the recommendation of the server, I chose a full rack of ribs and got the cornbread with honey butter, green beans, and slaw. Got the ribs with their regular sauce plus some spicy sauce, which had a nice heat to it. They were cooked well and a good size amount. The beans were advertised as a twist with no pork in them, and I think it might have been some walnuts (?) They were tasty, as was the slaw. The little highlight of the meal was actually the cornbread and honey butter. I'm a big eater but have enough of everything for a whole nother meal (except the cornbread, I ate that all). Very reasonable, all came to $23. #yum #ReviewsByRl

We've been here a total of two times - 1 time for carryout 1-2 yrs ago and today for dine-in. I…read moredon't remember much about our carryout experience, but I can say with confidence we won't be back after our dine-in experience today. The food was fine. We ordered fried pickles for our appetizer and that came out within 10-15 min of us being seated. They were hot, delicious and the sauce they came with was pretty tangy and tasty. No complaints. We placed our meal order at the same time as the appetizer, but waited 20-30 min for our food to come out. We ordered Cuban and BBQ Chicken sandwiches. Our waitress came by once during that wait and told us our food would be out shortly but never gave a reason for the delay. I was irritated when the couple behind us - who were seated well after us - received their meals 10-15 min before ours came out. Our waitress was very chummy, attentive and friendly with them and barely checked in with us. Definitely didn't receive the same service. Unfortunately her tip reflected that. Our food was good. BBQ chicken sandwich was good. Needed more sauce but I asked for a side. Cuban was fine. Needed a sauce too but I used the sauce that came with the fried pickles. Fries were delicious and hot. Some of the onion rings were strange. The smaller ones mostly. They weren't even warm and had a chewy consistency. It was weird. As far as the atmosphere? Ugh. That alone killed it for me. 1) it's so dark in there. The dark floors...the dark ceilings...and all that dark wood! All that darkness paired with the depressing country music playing had me wanting to take myself out. Maybe it's good if you're there to drink your sorrows away and whatever teardrops they were singing about, but I found it irritating and agitating. BBQ isn't strictly country music - it can be blues too.

Funny, I didn't see one hill in all of northwest Ohio, much less in the place called, "Ottawa Hills." Why you gota lie? So anyway, driving through Vistula, I noticed how it has its fair share of black people. I love soul food. Who doesn't? It is ground zero for American cuisine. I googled around, some places weren't open; some other places turned out to be closed permanently. Josephine's Kitchen was alive. Now they operate on CPT, that much has to be said. You know what that means? It doesn't matter, it's all love. I got the smothered pork chops with greens and mac n cheese. I chose corn bread over the dinner roll. Pork chops was falling off the bone. Greens was right. The $15 dollar plate of food must have weighed five pounds. They feedin ppl here. The proprietress was one of the most competent and hospitable women I have ever come across. A talented and humble woman.

Restaurant was exceptionally clean - Service was excellent - wait time extremely reasonable - that's where it ends for me. Excuse my ignorance by a slab of ribs sitting on 2 pieces of white bread WITH bones a "sandwich" does not make - they were pedestrian at best - bland - sauce was stock no depth or taste you'd expect with quality ribs - meat was bland no real taste somewhat dry ate some cole slaw for "juice" - no special spicing or any real spicing at all - THE BONES were 80% of the slab extremely disappointing - Cole slaw was basic stock no special seasoning or "wow" taste - again frozen fries cooked in any quantity served are still frozen - my mama uses REAL potatoes takes very little effort - overall cannot recommend based on beyond ordinary food quality with no special "hook" to separate them from any other ordinary cookie cutter place for food despite exceptional service and warm environment
