My husband and I visited the restaurant today for lunch. We traveled from Boston but the nearly 1 hour drive was well worth it. The service and food were excellent. My husband ordered the ribs 1/2 slab w/hickory pit beans and french fries and for me the keto bowl adding bacon and crispy onions. The smoky flavor of the ribs and chicken was superior to what we expected. If you enjoy the smoky flavor of meats, this is the place for you. We will definitely visit them again! Muy bueno!

I was super excited to see a new BBQ restaurant at the farmland. Probably one of their best business decisions to add this establishment to the property. Especially one with the training that this PitMaster has.
I placed my order online. Only a 15-minute wait to prepare 3 meals, a pleasant surprise, 2 smoked turkeys, and a half rack of ribs. Arrived 20 minutes after order and found it to be ready on the counter. Friendly service through my walk through.
As far as the food goes, both smoked turkeys looked and tasted quite well. Great smoke on them and tender. I felt the portion was quite small, though, for the price even though it’s supposed to be half a pound. Ribs were hit and miss. The ribs are precut for you, and it tasted like I had ribs from multiple racks. Some ribs were perfectly smoked while a couple tasted a little dirty. Clean ribs needed no sauce while dirty has sauce covered up.
Fries that came standard with all meals were a small serving. It was the smallest serving of fries I’ve ever had at a BBQ restaurant. Why skimp on the fries? They were cooked wonderfully, though. Perfect crunch exterior with soft interior. Other reviews say coleslaw tastes mass produced, I couldn’t disagree more. One of the better slaw that is available even if it is bought. Gouda Mac and cheese has a fair portion and was tasty.
All of the food was eaten in that moment with plenty of room for leftovers. A testament to their cooking and portion sizes. The best deal seems to be upgraded to meal rather than meat only. I’d try again.

First time visiting. Started with Cathy taking our to go order. Extremely sweet, pleasant and professional. Ordered ribs, burnt ends and wings with an assortment of sides. Everything was absolutely awesome! Our new favorite BBQ spot. Looking forward to eating “in” next time. Thank you!!

Burnt ends and fried corn bread were amazing. They have 3 different kinds of BBQ sauce to chose from with 2 other types of sauce (campfire sauce is very mild, good for dipping fries in. Then they had a very spicy sauce that added some extra heat when mixed in with the BBQ sauce options). They have local beer on tap, service was fast, and there was plenty of parking.

One star for cleanliness of the place and one for fast service (it’s a fast food place anyway).
The rest is only negatives: very expensive for what it is, $26 for “burnt ends”, only the burnt part was true. I was served five cubes of beef measuring 1.5”x 1” each, of which two were just fat. See the picture). $26 for that!!!! The sides were subpar: a cucumber salad swimming in sweet water. Why? The rice super salty, the pickles (3 slices of cucumber. Three!!!! See picture) super salty too. Even the sauce dispenser spat liquid mustard all over the counter.
My mother got the 1/2 rack of ribs: they were sooooo dry and guess what…super salty.
I’m never coming back. It’s the worst value restaurant I’ve been to by far and I’d not recommend it to anyone, friend or foe.

They were so busy and apologized to us so many times – we elected to stick it out and so glad we did! This place is fantastic. The wings were my favorite. Next time I’m getting the brisket.

Had a great experience at Davis bbq! Food was amazing and the service was top notch!
I got the one meat platter with Mac and cheese and fries
We also had the deep fried corn bread which was super tasty.
Very friendly and relaxed vibe
The prices are fair too because barbecue food is expensive and these prices are the same as anywhere and the food is top notch!
Definitely recommend this place
The manager was really nice and all the staff were really polite
Clean place too!

We visited the farm and we decided to stop by the BBQ place. Having had this type of food in many places outside and in Boston we expected similar food. We thought $25 for BBQ outside Boston was bit high but we went for it. We asked for the burned ends and we received a plate of 5 small cuts which were fatty and greasy. Just look at the photo below and tell me that is worth $26? . The place is clean and staff is friendly. I’m willing to pay way more for good food and and decent portion sizes. This place was quite disappointing in price, serving size and quality of food. I will not be coming back. ♂️. I would suggest to the owners to drive to other BBQ places and take some important notes.

I’ll start by saying I never expected the side dishes to be FAR SUPERIOR to the meat, not sure how to square that round peg. The mac n cheese was phenomenal, so were the onion strings and the cornbread bites. The beignets were fantastic too. But the beef brisket was nothing to write home about. Dry, overcooked and a complete lack of seasoning on the bark. Absolutely taken aback by the “Kansas City bbq” label, that should immediately be dropped. I lived in Kansas City for many years and had Gates and Arthur Bryant’s all the time, truth be told there is NO COMPARISON whatsoever. Additionally, how are the portion sizes determined? It’s as if they don’t want customers to return, just take their money once and understand that will be the final visit. That was extremely disappointing. Also the sauces were terrible, I’m just shocked they would have the audacity to claim Kansas City bbq with that type of sauce. I won’t be returning, but if you decide to try, make sure you’ve already eaten. The portion sizes are like what my son in elementary school gets from the lunch ladies.
Edit: Your response is the same to every negative comment on your page. “Wish you would have told us at the time”…
How was I supposed to tell you when it was clearly takeout?
Obviously you don’t truly read these comments or look at the photos.

We had Davis cater my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party last night and everyone raved about how good the food was. Nikki (the coordinator) was great to work with, Josh (the pitmaster) was so friendly and the two servers that came were great too! I would absolutely recommend them for catering and would absolute use them again for an event.
