Got to-go food for the first time and it was great! Ribs were tender, sides were good, the lady that works there was very nice and accommodating, and the prices are reasonable. They were out of cole slaw and they made some fresh just for our order less than an hour before close. Thankyou much for that! I’ll definitely be hittin this spot up again next time I’m in dana point!

Dive bar, not a family resturant. Dont bother coming by if you want a family dinner. Bartender, she was great but overwheld. She had over 50 people including tables with no help. Ordered food and the cook took off in the middle of rush hour. Drunk locals at 5pm on a thursday, loud and will annoy you. Waited 45 min and they didnt know whats up with our order. Walked up the street to a resturant that knows how to service customers. Wont come back to this place. 2 stars should be zero 00000 the poor bartender had no help but was awesome! They lost $300 in biz that day. Dont expect anything great here. Their local drunk guy said the ribs are dry but chicken is great, i didnt have a chance to try it out.

Absolutely wonderful and amazing staff working here The food is amazing and so delicious and the staff are warm and fun. They even let my dog come and politely sit with us. This is the spot to go to in Dana Point for a drink, music, dancing, dinner or a celebration. A Dana Point Gem. Thank you all for a wonderful time and birthday spent with you all

The pork ribs were just full of fat. Everything seemed like it was dipped in oil and warmed the place was very dirty, and unkept There were a few extremely drunk people at the bar. The music was good as far as barbecue they don’t know what they’re doing there

I got the smokehouse combo and was really impressed with the flavor of the meats–especially the chicken, which I don’t normally consider to be the star of the show. Really great; I’ll definitely be back.

The prototype hole in the wall BBQ joint. Most excellent ribs, corn bread like grandma used to make. We were lucky to enjoy a group of local musicians during dinner.

I’ve lived in the area for 22 years and finally visited. Like others, when we walked in we were very skeptical. Well, don’t worry about it. Food is amazing. I love barbecue and I was blown away.
