So fortunate to find this BBQ spot on a short stop in Santa Cruz. The brisket was tender and flavorful (with or without the sauce), and the ribs were smoked to perfection. The hogwash was interesting, more of a malt vinegar sub, probably better on fries than meat. Overall we’ll definitely return next time we’re in town.

Was super hungry after a hike, I forgot to take a photo. However you can tell I loved it. I had the brisket, max n cheese, & potato salad. You can’t go wrong!

Casual counter service restaurant. The large sandwiches have 9 oz. meat and are $20.50 but enough for 2 to share, with sides. The special smoke turkey sandwich was delicious, served on a soft focaccia like bread.

I ordered the 2 meat meal of ribs and brisket. I got there 30 minutes before closing so my fault the ribs had dried up. The brisket was also on the drier side. The reg bbq sauce made it good. Serving size was good and I loved the mac and cheese. I mixed up all the coleslaw dish and it was fine. How about serve one slice of garlic bread and one corn bread for both? The band was fun and just playing their last song. The sweeping and chair slapping cleaning up process was loud and annoying. It could’ve waited till after closing or done more quietly. The soda machine was turned off for refills. Your late dinner time customers deserve no less of a dine in experience than a lunch or early dinner customer. Not sure about trying again…

The food is super yummy. My kids loved it. It has lot of options on the menu. I loved all the food we tried. We ate twice there during the same weekend. The burnt ends and brisket are the best.

One of the best barbecue experiences I’ve ever had in California. The meat was tender but not fatty, the sauce was delicious, and the sides were well executed with some creative twists. Highly
recommend!

Great BBQ . Delicious salads. Cold beverages. They have a terrific blues band on Friday evenings! We appreciate their fundraising support of local schools!

Stopped in on a Sunday evening after the VW Xmas lights parade downtown, and enjoyed the 2 meat combo w/brisket & ribs with Mac n cheese, coleslaw & cornbread….the brisket melted in my mouth and the ribs were oh so juicy. I washed it down with a WC IPA the young man recommended to me. My first time here and I will definitely come back! Sorry no pics, I like to enjoy my food in the moment
The live blues band was great too

The person that took my order was very nice and polite. I sat down and another person brought out my food. I ordered brisket, they brought me tri tip. They quickly corrected it. The brisket was very dry. The beans and coleslaw were good, and the spicy sauce is actually very spicy. The pickleg onions were very good.
