Let me start by saying this is a hidden local spot. It is on Google but has no big signs off the main road or on the building. It’s just a street sign and a non paved lot in front of what looks like a garage. So we were intrigued. However, it did not live up to the hype. The inside is a country themed barbecue restaurant. Small but probably 12 tables or so. It was very full of stuff and not clean, especially the bathrooms. They were busy though, and as soon as we were sat she told us they were out of ribs and potatoes (what we wanted). So we got 2 kids meals, then she told us they were out of chicken for kids. So then we just got sides for one kid and a pulled pork sandwich for the other. Since the menu was so limited my husband and I shared a 2 meat platter with 2 sides and added an extra side. Food took a while, everyone around us got their food plus all the togo orders before we did. When it came, she brought brisket for the kids meal instead of pork, so we had to wait on that to be fixed and she forgot the fries. When she brought the plate of fries they were maybe a handful on a plate. I watched as other tables received massive piles (a plate full) of shoestring fries so I had to ask for more like the other orders around us. She brought them without comment. She also brought pickles and onions for all the other tables but not us. We were never checked on again or given refills. By this time they were not busy and had maybe 4 tables including us. We were just ignored. Food was ok. My husband enjoyed it more than me. He liked the hot links. My daughter enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich and beans. My brisket was super chewy and fatty, cut thin. I would not order it again. The rest was just ok. We ate it but we didn’t leave satisfied or thinking “wow, that was great!”. The ribs were obviously the most popular item, but I don’t plan to visit again to try them. Overall, it’s a hit or miss bbq place. Maybe togo orders, when they have their full menu avail, are the way to go. Prices are average, but they do offer a military discount. Wish there were half stars. I would say 2 1/2 for this visit.

One of our favorite stops when we’re in town. Very rustic, nothing fancy, just great BBQ and wonderful service! This place is a hidden gem!

I got a rib dinner and added bologna, finish I hadn’t. The ribs were delicious and the fries were good. It also came with coleslaw and some really good pickles. The bologna tasted basic, nothing special. The atmosphere was friendly. They had iron man 3 playing which was a huge plus. All together I thought it was ok food but prices were not what I was ok with paying for the quality of food that was provided. The service was great though. Our waitress never skipped a beat.

When I get back to my hometown, a trip to Fish’s is a MUST. They’ve been at it for years and are still smokin’.

This place has went down hill with customer service. I called a day ahead to ask if they could seat a large group for dinner I gave her the number of people and the time she told me yes. When we got there the table was ready we ordered our food then it started to get a little busy my family and I waited forever for food to come out then when it finally did our orders were not right my steak was still pink I ordered well done took forever to get drinks the older lady was going from table to table taking orders and checking people out. Customers were up getting their own drinks. The older lady was our waitress My son and I felt bad for her so we started to help clean our table and she had the nerve to come to me and say we were hurting the restaurant and if the person who paid didn’t leave a tip for her then she will go back and give herself a $33 tip because she doesn’t work for free. Not knowing I was leaving the tip.Then she goes to tell me that two of her waitresses walked out on her and her main cook never showed up. I understand things happen but she knew this before we decided to sit down she could have told me all of this beforehand and gave us the option if we wanted to Stay or Leave but she didn’t and then try to blame it on us. She knew she was going to be waitressing and checking people out she could have told me so we could have went somewhere else instead of getting bad customer service. My family and I will not ever come back to this place especially as a group also if they can just take money off of your credit or debit card after you already paid. I really wished I could talk to the manager or someone over her because what she told me she was going to do and what she did tonight was unacceptable she should be ashamed of herself..

Hard to find but worth the effort. You really have to be looking for it. Greeted at the door and served quickly. Attentive wait staff and good value. Don’t ask for fish.

Great bbq! We got takeaway and went to Tenkiller lake. The service was solid and everyone eating in seemed to be having a good time. The place was full during lunch on a Tuesday. I purchased a bottle of their hot bbq sauce and it is amazing. If you want to sample get the combo dinner which you get brisket (or pork), 2 spareribs, and a hot link with two sides – recommend the beans for sure. It was all good and I thought the ribs were exceptional

Looks like you would go there to get your oil changed, but instead, it’s the best bbq in the area! Huge portions! Excellent service! If you love finding places with allot of local flavor, this is a place for you.
