    Very good grub! The smoked dishes are delish !  In our group orders we had chicken wings , cheese sticks, Cuban sandwich , piggy mac, chicken sandwich , burgers , kids meals ( which were huge) .  Everything was very good , nicely seasoned, big portions.  Yummy BBQ sauce and aioli.   The service was very good as well.      Check it out !

    Stopped in after church to grab a little something. I saw the dessert menu and decided that I really wanted to try them all because they sounded sooo good. So I just ordered a side of Mac and cheese and a side of cornbread so I'd have room for a dessert. The Mac and cheese was wonderful. Soooo good! I will definitely have that again sometime. The cornbread was very fattening and greasy to the touch. Moist and tasty though. Had these with a Vanilla Porter and then had absolutely no room for the dessert I craved. I will just go right for the dessert next time!! Lol

    When my friend and I walked in we were the only ones there. I was really glad to see that by the time we were leaving the place had pretty much filled up. I really want this place to make it. Other businesses in this spot have had difficulties due to politics. Local businesses can be healthy for our economy so I plan on supporting this place and others like it instead of the chain restaurants. Good luck to the owners!

    First time we ate here there was a hair in my food and he full refunded us and gave us a free appetizer. Food was good. Selection could be better.

    As a BBQ snob and I've enjoyed BBQ at all the BBQ Meccas.  We all have our favorites - dry vs wet - sweet vs spicy - beef vs pork - tomato vs mustard vs vinegar. And for  me it's hard to find good BBQ in NY.

    However, today I found it.  Their Smoked Wings were amazing, the ribs were literally falling off the bone tender and the pulled pork was moist and on the flavor point.

    My only criticism was the sauce was a sweet sauce, but that's just a personal preference.  

    The food was totally on point!!!!

    This is totally a book markable restaurant and we will be back.

    I love trying new placed out, so when I saw that they had opened I was excited to try it.

    When you first walk in there is a big foyer area, with a counter, looks like a great take out spot, we entered the dining room and were quickly sat at a booth.

    Our server was very polite and walked us through the specials and got us drinks. She also brought out a basket of potato chips, they were very good!

    There is a limited menu right now so it did not take long to order. My son started with an order of bbq wings, you have your choice of deep fried, char grilled or smoked. Oddly enough there was no basic buffalo style sauce offered, they had a dry rub and some other sauces.

    I wanted to try the smoked wings so I got the 1/2 rack and wing combo, my son got the pulled pork and fries( either i read the menu wrong or it is confusing, it says with cole slaw and onion rings, neither of which he would eat so I asked for just the pulled pork and fries. When the sandwich came out it had slaw and onion rings on top of the pork, the apologized and quickly fixed the problem)

    Since they are new the waitress did have some issues typing our order into the tablet system they were using.

    Unfortunately, the food did not live up to my expectations. The ribs were overcooked and a bit on the dry side, and the smoked wings in dry rub were incredibly dry. They did not give us a side of sauce with the order, but brought one out when we asked. The salad that came with the meal was fine. The pulled pork was good, but needed more sauce. The fries were undercooked and had an off flavor to them. Which I attribute to the special being calamari and they cooked the fries and calamari in the same fryer so the fries had a fishy taste and smell

    I love this type of food and i wanted to likebut not sure if I will go back
