Recommended by a local under my criteria of something quick and Fast and nonchain local Definitely a bar Taking a seat at the bar a Joy to see the Fine tuned machine of the 3 people working in the kitchen and 3 ladies serving food. I liked how they helped each other Dessert first meant strawberry cheesecake which was covered with plenty of strawberries I hardly had time to eat my strawberry cheesecake before the special made it in front of me which was a smoked chicken bacon ranch chef salad. Now i ordered it wanted to see how a bar would provide a salad and i could say this is the first time i've ever been fully satisfied by a chef salad Both in being full and in taste. Crumbled bacon shredded chicken shredded cheese With a wide Variety of different kinds of vegetables not just lettuce With 2 things of ranch on the side.

We had not been here before and decided to stop in. Had exceptional service. The staff and patrons were very friendly. Very relaxed atmosphere. There was a very nice outdoor seating area, although it was to hot to sit outside today. We both had the brisket sandwich which was nice slices of brisket on a hoagie bun. Had different choices of sauces for the sandwich. I had the mild which was a sweet mustard sauce. My husband had the habanero sauce which I tasted, it was not hot like you would assume it to be. Both sauces had delicious flavor. The sandwiches came with potato chips. Looking forward to trying some of their other food items.

Food was delicious place was clean but if your not a local you won't have any interaction with the staff or locals.

Hidden Gem!! A Local Spot! Worth the drive from the interstate!! Stopped here on our way through, it was about 20 minutes off our route but the reviews looked good and worth the detour! From the outside it's rough, but packed parking lot and smoke coming from the kitchen lured us in! Two feet in the door and we knew we were in the right place. The smell from the smokers and house made BBQ filled the air. Greeted with a "howdy and seat yourselves!" Menu had about 20ish items. Everything looked great and they even had some never before thought of meals, like the horseshoe! Food was fast and perfect!! I recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, the BBQ nachos and the horseshoe! Oh and the Mac n chz bowl was massive!! This is now on our route everything we are in the area!!!

Great smoke. You need to try this place if you like BBQ. I ordered the pork loin. It was smoky and so juicy. Bbq sauce on the side. Paid with onion rings(best I've ever had) and a real down-home, authentic cowboy beans. 3 beans with ground beef, sweet and smoky. Garlic bread and sweet tea rounded out the meal. Wife ordered their quarter pound burger with cheese and everything. It was also smoky and tasty. We drove an hour and a half from St. Louis just to try this place. We were not disappointed. Make a day trip, it's worth it.
