the service is great. Everyone there is very friendly , and the atmosphere is nice if you’re up for some drinks and have a great time. this restaurant has a nice outdoor sitting area where kids can play and pets are allowed. The down part for me was the food , we ordered baby back ribs and brisket, mash potatoes, cold slaw, and bake beens. The ribs were dry and tested like ham with BBQ sauce. The brisket was very dry as well. It tested like can food. the sides were ok, but it is something i wouldn’t order again. We else have some parmesan fries. These were delicious. so i don’t know about the rest of the menu. if i ever go again, I’ll totally update my review on that.

Our new go to place to eat. Let me tell you the service was top notch start to finish. The beef ribs were just as good if not better than any steak I have ever have. Fall off the bone tender juicy and tasty. Highly recommend!!!

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, kaminski style, for lunch. The sandwich had very little pulled pork, surprisingly little. The bun was good. It came with a small handful of fries. For almost $20 for the sandwich I wasn’t impressed. I also had a Diet Coke (maybe Pepsi). I’ve wasn’t ever offered a refill. My sister had a steak salad. The salad had no more than 5 pieces of wilted lettuce, a single cherry tomato sliced in half. The team was very well done, not cooked well, just over cooked.

I love the vibe of Kaminski’s with the helpful staff, good beer selection, and lots of televisions for different sports events at one time. To me, the food is just okay. I’ve gone three times on very different occasions and each time the food was just okay. The taco trio and spiced wings apps weren’t terrible, but I wouldn’t get them again. The Aztec margarita tasted as if it was missing tequila. I will, however, return sometime for a few beers and a game.

Staff is super friendly, they are extremely attentive and made me feel welcomed. The food is fresh and delicious. The variety of sports on TVs really allows you to catch you games. I am already making plans to visit on Friday, which I believe is Kareoke.

I love this place. I’ve been coming here since 2013. I always get great service and always get a hello from the owner every time she sees my buddy and I. Food is excellent as well. You have to try the Amazing Melt

Really good BBQ. Loved the pulled pork and Beef and Cheddar melt came with an Au jus to dip in! Also really impressive is their sides. The beans, coleslaw and the fries were excellent! The atmosphere was clean and looked like a great place to watch the game.

Excellent beef brisket. The bbq has a bit too much vinegar for my taste, but others may appreciate that!
