“ It was really good. Brisket was soft and pulled pork was juicy. My wife loved the fried ravioli and I got the fried chicken skin. Must get their fountain drinks! ”
“ Good bbq and an awesome location. The food was good and the drinks were great. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The mac&cheese was amazing I would definitely recommend. The brisket and ribs were a little dry but still very tasty and they let you pick what part of the brisket you want which was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. ”
“ Been here a few times, and tried many of the items by now. Well tonight I tried the fried Jalapeno Bologna sandwich and let me tell you. The answer is YES!!!. Come here for anything on the menu and you will not be disappointed. Good service, great food, great BBQ with a twist, great desserts. Sitting in or out, this is a cool place. Pretty cool bar of great Bourbon selection. ”
“ Really delicious bbq. We recommend the burnt end toasted ravioli and Mac n cheese. Also the drink was like a Pineapple tequila sunrise with Tajin on the rim and it was so good. ”
“ This is a must eat if you like BBQ. The pulled pork and ribs are very tasty, the meat on the ribs just fall right off the bones. There are many sauces to pick from something that will definitely peak your taste buds. We had the cream corn, the baked beans, and the Mac and cheese all of which I would highly recommend to all. Now the food was warm I would have preferred them to be served a little hotter. Oh, I almost forgot you must try the hush puppies they were the best ones I've had in a while. ”
“ Great tasting food in a great location. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere on a warm day. Service was attentive and kept our drinks topped off. I tried the veggie burger with sweet potatoes chips and it was fabulous. (I did take my daughter’s coleslaw that she had put on the side to put on top of my veggie sandwich. Would recommend as it’s a great coleslaw and gave the veggie burger a nice crunch) Perfectly seasoned. The barbeque sauces are great. Several options, the sweet and tangy was really good. Hubby and our daughter tried the pulled pork (one with the fries and one has the potato salad) and said it was delicious as well. A bit pricey but well worth it. ”
“ You HAVE to order their fries!!! Absolutely a BOMB!! Staff were very friendly, service was amazingly quick. Food was delicious! We got pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches, one with fries and one with their potato salad. Super delicious and we ordered more fries bc they were just too good!! ”
“ Always fantastic! We sat at the bar, which at the St. Charles location is a great spot! Brisket, wings, and pulled chicken were all awesome. Service was excellent as always. ”
