Wow, great food and wonderful service. I really enjoyed the Piggy Mac Bowl.
Nice little place, very friendly, very clean and the BBQ was mouth wateringly good and the prices were very reasonable. We tried several dishes as we were scouting for places to take our supper club, (5 meats in all), Baked beans are really good, we will be going there for sure. Our waitress was very friendly and extremely helpful with her recommendations. Will be making more trips over there for sure.
One of the best ribeyes I've ever had at a restaurant. Smoked wings have amazing flavor. Highly recommend. The food and service is phenomenal.
The food is always hot and fresh. Their BBQ is pretty good, too! They have one of the best tasting bloody marries around called the proud marry that comes with a rib. A great choice to try the bbq before you order. I've only been right at opening, so it's never very busy, but I assume it gets busy, or should. Everything I've had from there had been good! They could benefit from some different seating, maybe some booths or something, but they just opened, so more decoration and etc may be in the works. If you're anywhere around Churubusco it's definitely worth a stop.
We were there in the evening late. Our first time here. This building gives off doctor office vibes. It's simple and decorated nicely and tables are spaced out nicely. I wish they had some acoustic a panels on the walls to absorb some of the sound. The louder people talked the louder the music was. I could barely hear my husband talk sitting across from me. Anyway, we ordered the bread basket and mac and cheese bites for appitizer. They both were very good. The best mac and cheese bites we have had in the area for a long time. Main course hubs had the oinker potato, and I had just a pain burger. I asked if my fries could be done extra crispy. The waitress told me no. She said that they only had one or two fryers and that they could not accomodate extra crispy fries. She also didn't ask me how I wanted my burger cooked when I ordered. With out any instructions on my burger, it ended up coming out medium well. Not how I prefer my burger but it was tollrable. Close to the end of our me we were thining about dessert. The waitress came around and asked if we needed any boxes, we told her no and she went about her way. 10 min later she comes back with our bill. She never offered us dessert. Disappointing. We could have given her a full bill. Now I will say there were only 2 waitresses the night we were in. One at the bar and one taking care of the dining room. The food was decent and we would give a second try. But for now.. I leave somewhat unimpressed.
Phenomenal service by Sarah and excellent food. I got the 3 meats platter(most for dogs) which came with garlic bread and fries. The tea was good as well. Go and enjoy it will not disappoint.
The wife and I finally made it to the 205 and mad that we didn’t make in sooner. Great atmosphere, great food, priced right and great drinks. I ordered the Ribeye at the owners recommendation and it was cooked perfectly! The homemade macaroni and cheese was maybe the best I’ve ever had! My wife order the rib tips and they came fresh out of the smoker, she was still talking about them this morning. I highly recommend this place, everything about this restaurant is a win for me.
My husband had the smoked wings half hot, half bbq. Needed more sauce on the hot half. Loved the bbq ones. I had the beer and bacon burger which was good but the meat needed some flavor. They were busy but we had no wait at 6:00 on a Saturday. The service was good. We will return.
