They had me at DIM SUM!?!?!? What?! This little old BBQ shack in the middle of no where Illinois has home made dimsum. This was the last thing that I was expecting. I have so many happy memories of dim sum and the fact that I’ve lived in Champaign for almost 20 years with disappointing dim sum has made me sad. But we sat down and there it was, “home made dimsum …. secret recipe”. We ordered it yet, and yah, there were no chop sticks and it was in a red basket, but holy cow was it good. My heart was happy.
We also ordered BBQ and that was outstanding as well — just as good as Black Dog. The burnt ends were fall apart. The pulled pork was moist. The ribs were amazing and the sauces complemented every thing. My favorite was the Lil Heat — sweet and spicy. The mustard was good, but it needs more kick. The Perfectly Hot was indeed perfect. The pit beans were porky and not too sweet. The mac and cheese was wickedly creamy. The applesauce was chunky and perfect.
Would not hesitate to come back here again!!!!!!

Went there for late lunch. This is the first time I’ve been there since it was remodeled. Let me just tell you, my food was absolutely great!!! I was going thinking that it was just going be like regular bar food. But it was really beyond your typical. I had pulled pork sandwich, potato salad, and the soup they had (cheese potato and pork chop). It was delicious!! Great job!!

If you don’t try this place, you are doing Injustice to your mouth!!!
The best smoked meat, I’ve ever had
We, a family of four
Tried the brisket, pulled pork, the turkey dinner, the ribs
Each thing better than the next
The dim sum?
May sound crazy at a barbeque smoke house
But you won’t find better
Homemade …and delicious
The soup we tried was smoked pork chop with cheddar and potatoes
I could have eaten a quart myself
Absolutely incredible
Tried beans, and Mac and cheese
Super creamy. Homemade
Everything is homemade
Quality ingredients
Large portions
Fast service
We will be back
If you try it, I guarantee you’ll be back too.

The staff was so friendly and accommodating! We were in our way home from St. Louis and stopped here for dinner. We called ahead since we weren’t sure about kids being welcome and they set us up a high chair and a kids show in the back seating area. The food was great and how cool to have good Chinese food in a small town in rural Illinois! My husband said the burnt ends were better than Black Dog in Champaign which is one of our favorite BBQ places. We are hoping to make this stop a tradition every year!

I went to Google Maps looking for a place to eat BBQ on the way home from Casey, IL. This place came up and did NOT disappoint! I ended up with Brisket tacos (Taco Tuesday!) with fresh pico….SO DANG DELICIOUS! I couldn’t pass up the fresh cut fries, so I ate until I couldn’t eat another bite. Also, the server was simply delightful. If I’m ever anywhere near this town again, it’s worth a little extra drive as there are several other things on the menu I’d love to try!

It’s one of those places that looks okay until you go inside and then it’s like a whole different atmosphere. The servers are so polite and the food is amazing. The booze ain’t too bad either ;). Me and the wife stopped in for some late night fun and had Kerri as our waitress. She was very sweet and bubbly and it’s one of the few places in tuscola where the service is actually good. We got our food fast and our drinks were always full. Great waitress. Great place. 10/10 recommend.
