Brisket... Fatty and juicy. Slab on the sauce and enjoy yourself!

Bomb! <3 the combo platter we did with 3 meats: brisket, st louis ribs+ chicken. St louis rib fav with their bomb bbq sauce. The corn bread, chopped salad, fries were ok. Blue Moon goes well with it!

Good spot. Even better when there's live music!
Nick GorczynskiAugust 11, 2014
The portions are huge, like such that a big burly biker would want, so even though you'll want to – don't over order.

Walked in at 7pm on Thursday and waited for an hour and a half for a table of 6. You can imagine how hungry we were. Food was okay. Wait-staff weren't that great. Took them 15 mins to get us water.
Kellye LopezApril 20, 2014
I hear they serve dinosaur here. Would highly recommend it.
Rock RainesNovember 13, 2014
Decent Reuben sandwich I guess but it took them exactly 19 minutes to make it for me. Place is kinda empty too. Oh well, Mighty Quinn's is better anyway.
Jo RausenAugust 4, 2013
Skip the steak (BK-location only) and stick with the classics. Ribs.
Bryan DowneySeptember 30, 2016

Brisket was meh, meat wasn't super hot, but would definitely venture back for the pulled pork and corn bread.
