Brisket had little too no smoke flavor but was cooked well. It seemed to lack any sort of rub or seasoning, but was soaking in brine when served.
They only offer one BBQ sauce and it is a sweet bbq, which is not my preference.
They offer beer and wine, but no full bar. Not a problem, but something to be aware of.
I’ve been told that some really like the chicken and the sauce, but I don’t think I’ll return. I prefer a more smokey and spicy meat and sauce pairing.

Best “dive” BBQ place. First time visit and went 2x in 2 days. Just excellent. Staff very friendly. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Will return!

The food was good. The BBQ was delicious though. I felt it needed a rub on it though to add to the great cook on the meat. I got a beef sandwich and the bread was very soggy from how juicy the beef was (I like juicy beef) the bread probably needs to be butter toasted (on a skillet perhaps add garlic to the butter) to make it easier to handle.
The food is cheap which is amazing! I think an extra buck could be added to the price to help elevate the dishes.
I know it’s rated #1 in Evansville, but it’s Evansville. There aren’t many good BBQ places so it’s not a very high bar to pass as #1.
The building is very dark and cluttered. I noticed they added led lights around the trim which helps. However more lighting is needed.
The outside did not look like a restaurant. It needs a bit of a face lift.
But I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of meat coming from such a place.
They do have an app which is very nice I think the photography could’ve been better.
Overall it’s nice but needs work

It was ok BBQ. The brisket was really good. The bottom piece of bread on my sandwich was soggy, had to toss it. Luckily we ordered an entire loaf of bread. Would be nice to offer rye bread as a choice. Would prefer a pickle spear to pickle slices. I personally didn’t care for the sauce. Thin and runny. The mutton was good.

The waitress was nice. The food was not great. The bread smelled weird. The soda was poor quality in plastic cups that seemed to leech the taste of sanitizer/soap. The meat (spare ribs and pulled pork combo) was edible, but not delicious. The potato salad tasted like cooking oil to me. The fries were decent. The bbq sauce they provided was a decent sweet and tangy mild flavor. I liked the old small town diner/bar appearance. It was quiet, but i don’t imagine it always is since they have a modern juke box and the bar. I likely won’t return, but i hope they’ll consider making some improvements. If it’s working for them though, then no need to change for my review.

Great local bar-b-q spot. Best local bbq (outside of Owensboro). Ribs, bbq chicken, pulled pork were all excellent. The fries were awesome. The “soak” sandwich was interesting, but not sure I’ll go for it in the future, the bread is truly soaked with the bbq sauce, great flavor but hard to get past the soggy bread. Little dark inside, but Fun atmosphere with Otters and other local sports memorabilia on the walls. Super friendly service and very kid friendly

Hands down, the single best BBQ I’ve ever had in my life.
I asked what the waitresses favorite item was and she recommended the chicken, as it had just come off the smoker. By God, it was the most juicy, flavorful, smoky piece of chicken I’ve had.
I wept silently, thinking of all the times I thought I had good bbq before. What a fool I was. Luckily, there were plenty of napkins to dry my eyes off with to continue enjoying.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean.
Anyone in even an hour’s drive of this place should come and visit, as it was a divine gift for me to stumble upon it and it will haunt my dreams, as I crave it till the next time I’m in the area.

The BBQ sauce was very delicious. Vinegar based with some peppery flavors, which made it a smidge spicy. Great fit for both the pulled chicken sandwich and the Soak which had a mixture of meats (beef, pork, chicken). The BBQ rib has great texture and smoked perfectly.
Attentive wait staff.

Marvelous local flavor. Don’t skip this place if your in the market for BBQ. Big question is why the extra service charge of 3.5%

This place is on point. Racks of ribs, pulled pork ,baked beans,potato salad all very good. The sauce is all so slapping. Also brought us a pitcher of tea this is a huge plus for me I hate having to ask or wait for refills.
