The food was great. I had the rib tip dinner with a side of baked beans . The ribs were tender and and a generous portion for a reasonable price. The service was amazing. She was patient while I was ordering and brought the food out to my car so that I didn’t have to get back out again. The food in general was worth the price. The only down falls is there is no indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. And no hand washing station. Other then that

Love love love this place! Seriously one of my favorite bbq joints! The owner is so freaking nice! They take pride in their work! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Ribs fall off the bone, pulled pork melts in your mouth , Mac and cheese is delicious. Corn bread is too die for. Highly recommend

Great brisket, pork, and Mac n cheese. Kids loved it too! Great atmosphere if you don’t mind outdoor dining, tailgating or to-go. Couple picnic tables for seating, shady patio and surrounding trees if you wanted to tailgate.

Being from the south (Tennessee), I know good BBQ. This is the best I’ve ever eaten. I think it even beats my favorite place at home.

My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch today, and I’m so glad we did. The food is amazing and service was great. They give you a lot of food, and prices were very reasonable. Best bbq in northwest Indiana

Pros: I will say the brisket was not lacking in flavor. It was quite delicious. Congrats to them for the recent award! I can also appreciate the brochette buns they use for the brisket sandwich. Cons: it would have been nice to have the bun warmed. It was cold bringing down the temp of the meat. I also wish they offered some sort of sauce for the sandwich (bbq perhaps) instead of just bun and meat. The baked beans were a bit too sweet for me. But I will try them out again to see about the rib tips.

Best BBQ hands down. Their pulled pork is something special! We ordered the pulled pork, brisket, and corn bread. All 3 were absolutely delicious . So glad we stumbled upon this place while visiting the Indiana dunes.

Although service was great, I was dissapointed that Brisket sandwich was chopped/ground meat on bun and lacked flavor. For a $13 sandwich, meat portion was skimpy. Although I enjoy supporting neighboring businesses I will give them time to get it right and will not be back for a while. Very dissapointed.
