Absolutely awesome BBQ, the selection is big and there are so many combinations and choices that it’s worth stopping at the menu outside on the window to make your selections before going inside just so you don’t hold up the line. Everything tastes homemade and is packed with flavor and the fact that they let you choose any of the five different bbq sauces up to all five of them means that you can sample each to find your favorite or just have a different flavor in each bite. The sides are hot and fresh and the cornbread with the honey butter is to die for, just wish they gave a little more of the honey butter and the baked beans with pulled pork . The only thing I would say I would change is the way the brisket is served, it’s stringy like the pulled pork and wish it was chopped up a little, just makes it easier to eat, but its nothing much knife and cutting board couldn’t remedy. I have found my goto BBQ joint and being from Texas that says alot!

I was craving bbq and I ordered a 3 meat sampler. It weighed 14 oz with the styrofoam container. It was a disappointingly small serving of all three meats, and the sauce was very scant. For the price (not including tip/service fees), I was hoping for more food and way more sauce. The taste of the meat was good, but without enough sauce, it didn’t satiate the bbq craving. I’m disappointed. And hungry!

There is absolutely no better place for barbecue in ANY of the surrounding area. The service and atmosphere is incredible, and to top it off the food is INCREDIBLE. You get great portions of super tasty food. Not to mention they cater as well! I’m such a huge fan of the place and can almost guarantee if you go, you’ll be too!

For the first time in years I was able to yry some of my favorite BBQ!

As another customer had mentioned in the reviews the wings were a little pink and lacked flavor.. I couldn’t agree more. 20 dollars after tax for 12 wing dings.. Sauce was good but thank god for that otherwise the whole plate would have went in the trash.

Pretty good BBQ here in state college. Price is a little higher but still acceptable. Onion rings are super good, some of the best I’ve had. Beans were also really good. The brisket and the pulled pork were decent but I found them a little dry. But the amazing sauces helped with that. Definitely get the sauces at the end of the table!

Nice place. Food is good. Got the ribs which were okay. A little bit fatty but still good. I got the full set of ribs and it fed two adults for 30. Staff is nice and the place was barely busy.

Teresa Whitsel
Definitely not what expected for the price of the meal. Both orders of ribs a little dry, fries were ends of potatoes crunchy, no ice to put in your paper cup, plastic knife and forks just don’t work real well with ribs. No ketchup bottles just packets of ketchup. I don’t think we will be returning anytime soon. They need to take lessons off of Texas Roadhouse

One word: WOW.

Sergio Butron
Really great place with delicious meals! The macaroni cheese was creamy, hot, and fresh! The biscuits were soft and yummy. Fries were fresh and hot too! The ribs were beyond my expectations! The sauce was sweet with a gentle tang. Every bit of meat came right off the bone with ease. I definitely enjoyed my time here. The establishment is clean and well kept too. There are towels, utensils, condiments, and a multitude of barbecue sauces available for use. The restrooms are clean and smell good! It’s almost as if the restrooms were filled with the flowers from the hills in the Sound of Music. Love this place!
