Marty RacioppiSeptember 24, 2016Great appetizers, especially the bacon wrapped burnt ends, deviled eggs and wings. Ribs and all the smoked meats are cooked perfectly with a great rub.
Specials rock. Theme parties, great drinks and Toby (owner) came to sit and chat at the end of our dinner. Great place on main street, do yourself a favor andSKIP CRAPPLEBEES AND TGIFridays.
Excellent beer selection, fantastic wings, and friendly service. It has become our regular go to.
Barbara SheldonAugust 25, 2016The best tasting ribs in the area!! The cornbread and maple butter is amazing too! Enjoy a good meal while playing trivia.
Dave SicaFebruary 17, 2016Been coming here since the old location. Didn't plan on ordering beer with lunch today, but it would be a crime to not order beer here, so we shared a flight. Perfect!
Wings with Maple bourbon BBQ sauce. You can use that stuff on everything!!
Loved the food and our waiter Kevin was attentive, knowledgeable about the food and beer, and a crackup. Loved the twice baked potato and all the meats we tried.
Moira WoodNovember 23, 2014My husband loves their craft beers & Jambalaya. I love their wings, corn bread & brisket. We get there as often as we can. Friendly staff, great food!
RIA FRAZIERNovember 17, 2015Great beer list - talk to Chris , if you tell him what you like he'll make yummy suggestions. Bacon wrapped burnt ends are the food of the gods!!
Kelly O'MalleyJuly 12, 2015Great atmosphere, the new place is a huge improvement! Went for Father's day dinner, everything was good.
Neil MarucaJuly 11, 2015Smoked chicken is great! Ribs moist, meaty & perfectly smoked. Baked beans are awesome, home baked molassesey goodness
Damian MitteerFebruary 5, 2012Good beer, beautiful women, great atmosphere, car and bike parts and motorhead art all over the place. Its the family friendly man cave. ;)
Great BBQ items very frustrating. I think their prices are a little high,but the Turkey Reuben and wings were great! Couldn't get the chili because it was still being prepared at noon - not good.
Can't go wrong with the hush puppies. Love the St. Louis baby backs, and the new beer club is te best in the area. Make sure you sign up for your rewards club.- Neil MarucaMay 23, 2015Great place! Excellent food, craft beers & atmosphere. Chicken was amazing, bourbon bbq sauce awesome
Judith De LorenzoFebruary 29, 2016Beer menu always good. Bartenders are great. Sunday lunch menu small. Week and weekend nights are much better.
Susan VernicekSeptember 7, 2010Awesome food, worked there for years, but they offer Identity readers a discount. Check them out. Best choice: Roadkill burrito, steamers in the summer, smoked ribs, wings, and their sliders are awes Read more
Rob SchneidermanJune 7, 2016Great place, been there half a dozen times already. One of the true gems of Morris County
Definitely try the wings! Great drinks, atmosphere, music and the owners ROCK! Stay awesome :)- Neil MarucaMay 30, 2015Chicken & sides were sublime. Ribs & brisket had good smoke flavor but we're not very moist and a bit 'toothy'
Terry SchwartzApril 16, 2016Got to have the wings and corn bread. They are GREAT! Service was very good also- Thomas TulpJanuary 3, 2012Great traditional BBQ. Unique rub with plenty of long term smoke flavor. Pulled pork sandwiches and wings are the highlights.
Darryl MouzoneAugust 7, 2014It'd an excellent place to get some food and the atmosphere is great too.
Awesome wings there! Sundays are the best, .25 wings and $1 draft beers
Come down for the great craft beer selection, food is great, big burgers, excelent smoked wings.
Always great food and service. Their St. Patty's menu in March is awesome - get the Reuben!
Greg GrecoApril 2, 2015I have been there multiple times and I thought it would be better when I tried different types of food but every time I was disappointed the only thing good that they can't get wrong is the alcohol!!!
Half chicken is out of this world! Super moist and delicious!!- Janelle SwiftAugust 14, 2016Good food, service stinks. Ordered beef received pork. My dinner guests never got his meal
- Try the Grilled Flat Iron Steak - Awesome BBQ and craft brews! #nj #wharton #foodie #munchmobile #bbq
- You all need to try the Pork Porterhouse...its on the specials menu......its freekin fantastic.......
Pamela SchwartzMarch 30, 2012Service is great and the homemade cornbread with maple butter is amazing.
Drunken shrimp and a salad with BBQ vinagrette. Rosa rocks!
Roadkill Burrito is the best. So is everything on the menu!
New Jersey NickApril 12, 2011This place was awesome! I'll be back for sure.- Try the Lancaster Brewing Winter Warmer - I'm in trouble. #craftbeer #beer #bbq #nj #wharton
