Brett WilliamsMay 11, 2017First impressions are important, and this place nails it as soon as you walk in. Great atmosphere, incredible BBQ aroma, friendly staff. Did the ribs/ pork/ wings combo. Excellent!
Jon SpitzAugust 29, 2014The rib special for 2 is a great deal. 4 sides and a full rack for $30? Sold.
Bruce HaydonJanuary 21, 2017Food was brought out quickly, but brisket very fatty (avoid), ribs and pulled pork were very good (recommend). For sides, ac & cheese was best, avoid the chili. Rochester/Syracuse locations are better
Josh AuringerFebruary 22, 2014Actually the wings are awesome. As well as the brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Its how bbq is done. Good riddance to Famous Daves and Smokey Bones. There simply is no other.- Kate OnthetrackMay 11, 2014Love it!! It's so good. The fried green tomatoes are the best, mouth watering pulled pork and ribs and they smoke the wings! Plus they have a take out counter!
Nicole ReganMarch 31, 2017Buffalo wings in Buffalo (the birthplace of the Buffalo wing) are just called wings. And they're phenomenal.
Holly BowenAugust 9, 2018The food was really good, everyone in my group enjoyed their food and we all had different things. There are more options for good sides than we were expecting.
Victor KioulaphidesSeptember 14, 2023A superlative, all-American barbecue place, featuring delicious grilled meats and an impressive array of draft beers and ales.
Live music wed-sat and The One-eyed Hash!!! Only Dino with it. Smoked potatoes...oh my my.
Kristen CarpentieriMarch 4, 2019The ribs and brisket were amazing!! I love the habanero bbq sauce on the table...nachos were great too!
Roseane NguyenApril 19, 2014One of the best places I've been in a really long time. Service was great, food was delicious. Definitely will be back!
Save your indecision, and order the Family Stylin' (or two) for the table. You'll just have to pick some sides.
Food is great. Almost everything is made at restaurant. Fresh baked desserts and amazing BBQ.
Sean GrathwolApril 21, 2015BBQ that reminds of home, not only home cooked BBQ but similar tastes as the shop in syracuse- Biz TraveldudeNovember 4, 2015Excellent barbecue, not as busy as GE ones in downtown Rochester and Syracuse.
WilsonSeptember 12, 2014The food is outstanding as is the service! Although the brisket was a bit tough tonight...
Why not after horror.. speaking of horror.. wow. The weather changed on a dime outside. Like the cool…
Jillian ReadingFebruary 22, 2014Parking outside is 5.00 for the lot. Only 2 stalls in the ladies room do prepare to wait in line.
Tami VekichJune 8, 2014Cucumber and tomato salad was not great, but everything else was EXCELLENT!!!- Drink’n the buffalo bills blues…🥃🥃🥃 B4 Jokes of a Joker!!
Kurt KlueverJune 17, 2014Not as good as the Rochester location. Avoid the one eyed brisket hash (pretty gross). Just stick with the pulled pork or ribs.
