Food was amazing. We had the Straight Up Sammie (subbed brisket and mac & cheese), loaded fries with chicken, chicken nachos, fried pickles, and the brown sugar cake -- and everything was great. We did send the pickles back because they were a little greasy, but aside from that, it was an awesome experience! (Psst... try the Lone Star Shadow sauce. It's delicious ) Our server was super helpful and really kind, which made the whole visit even better for it being our first time! They host fun events, play great music, and have a solid small yet simple selection of sauces and brews. Definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

The chicken and pork are excellent!! I loved the pepper on the chicken, and my pork was so tender. My beans were a great side-- full of good flavor. What was really a surprise was the sauce of the month, which was coffee flavored. The coffee - which is my favorite drink -- was not overbearing. For a coffee lover, I thought this sauce was fantastic!! Great meal and can't wait for more! read more

Went to play trivia on Thursday night. At 6:45 they were running out of tables and starting to give high tops. We got their combo with 2 meats and sides and felt that was enough food so that we weren't stuffing ourselves. We tried the chicken and the brisket. Brisket was good and moist but the chicken was a bit dry. They have us 4 cups of sauces and we really liked that idea. One was a fall flavor called pumpkin, so they had a seasonal flavor (but to be honest, I didn't really feel any pumpkin). Trivia started on time and I was happy with both the host and the kinds of questions in the trivia, good mix of variety of topics. Hope to go back again some time! read more

4.5 stars. Back Home BBQ & Brew Co. is a family-owned and -operated restaurant, brewery, and bar. The menu focuses on Texas- and North Carolina-style BBQ meats. The slow-smoked meats include brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken. Other foods include appetizers (e.g., loaded fries, BBQ nachos, and fried pickles), burgers and other sandwiches, and sides (e.g., coleslaw, chili, and street corn). The bar offers a rotating selection of craft beers that are brewed on-site. Also available is catering for private events. My husband and I ate lunch here one time. Our waitress promptly and politely served us. Here are my reviews for our foods: Big Ol' Soft Pretzel - 4.5 stars - This pretzel was a huge size, and it tasted great. It would have come with mustard, but we paid extra for a substitute of queso that tasted OK. Smokehouse Cuban - 4 stars - My husband ate this sandwich. Mancini's Italian bread was filled with pulled pork, bacon, Swiss cheese, pickles, and Carolina Gold sauce. Beast Feast - 5 stars - This platter was a great way to sample all of the meats--flavorful brisket, pulled pork, chicken, ribs, and smoke-fried wings (wings that are rubbed and smoked and then lightly fried)--as well as a couple of sides. I chose corn bread (5 stars), mac and cheese (4 stars), and beans (4.5 stars). The waitress gave us four sauces to try, and my husband's favorite was the "lone star" flavor. The total price was $84 plus tax and tip. read more

We've drove past this spot so many times and finally decided to order takeout! Ordering online was easy and gave an accurate wait time. Plenty of options, ability to add extra sauces or swap out sides. Food was so great, and just wish we would have eaten inside as the vibe was great! Live music and plenty of seating. Can't wait to go back to try their beer! read more

Great little place that is kinda hidden in a small plaza heading out of town. Glad I stopped here with a friend. I had 'Dude Where's My Fog' and 'Wrong Doug' both IPA's which were both acceptable brews but nothing distinct, both hazy NE style brews. The pumpkin beer that I had a taste of was not great to me as I did not care for the spice combination that was used. The beer flavors are why I would only give this a 4 rating. They have local wine, ciders and seltzers. The food that my friend and I had was fantastic! I had the Cajun chicken egg roll which was bursting with flavor and a nice sized serving My friend had a Smokehouse Cuban and said it was fantastic. The owner and son were there and the waitress was fantastic. Very friendly atmosphere. They have events happening several times a month. I would recommend stopping by for a bite and a sip. read more

I go to a trivia night every week and this week the semi-finals were held here. I got there at 7:15. It took an hour and a half to get our food. I understand they were busy, it was packed. But the server didn't even come to see if we wanted to order for about 45 minutes. No one apologized for the delay until the very end of the night when I said it was a horrible experience. After all of that my food wasn't that good. We weren't the only table to experience this. Clearly the place wasn't capable of taking care of that many tables. The owner never should have agreed to host the event. The fact that they did tells me they didn't care much about the customers or their servers. I would never go there again & will definitely tell people about it. read more

My family and I came here twice, both for a trivia league we play in. Let me start by saying we will never be back. We arrived early to the event so we could get food and drinks by the time it was time for trivia to start. The waitress didn't approach us to ask for drinks until 15 minutes after we had sat down. We wanted to order our food while ordering the drinks. She told us we could not and walked away. Our drinks took a while, but they came. About 25-40 minutes after we ordered our drinks, our waitress finally came over for us to order our dinner. We had previously tried to order food, but she wouldn't acknowledge us. She took our order and never visited our table again. Our food took over an hour and a half to come to our table. The food is also pretty bad...especially the mac and cheese! The manager tried to be accommodating to us by giving a percentage off of our bill and reassuring us there was a problem with their system. I hope they can find a way to fix these problems! read more

My husband and I had been wanting to try out Back Home BBQ for awhile and finally had a chance to visit. The "smokifried" wings were amazing -- the portion was great for the price and they were served with their homemade BBQ sauce and ranch. My husband and I both got platters with brisket and smoked turkey. The turkey was dry rubbed and served with a cranberry BBQ sauce -- it was my favorite and I'd get a double portion of it next time. My husband loved his sides -- Cole slaw and French fries. I had the mac and cheese and Mexican street corn, which were also good! We'll definitely be back -- they were sold out of ribs and my husband was pretty bummed so we need to try them! read more

Service was excellent and personable. We had the Beast Feast to share between my husband and I. We enjoyed everything on the platter. The wings were crispy just the way we like them. The brisket was very tender. The pulled chicken and pork were a little dry but with sauce tasted great. The ribs were excellent and smoky. Enjoyed the baked beans, not traditional but they were good. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. I had the blackberry cider and highly recommend. read more

We picked Back Home BBQ to cater our son's graduation party. Tyler was very easy to work with. Helped us pick the menu based on number of people we were expecting (we had 60+ attend). We could change things up to 4 days prior to the party so that made it very flexible. All the food was outstanding. Brisket was the biggest hit but pulled pork and Mac and Cheese also excellent. Hand breaded tenders really good. Heck even the coleslaw got a lot of comments how good it was. All 4 sauces were delicious. I'd highly recommend Back Home BBQ for any catering event. Thanks again, Tyler. read more

We stopped here for the first time yesterday. It's not far from Evans City in a small strip mall. We were surprised at the quality of the food and the craft beer. I had the tacos, and my friend had a sandwich. Both were great. The kale salad and the corn bread were exceptional. In addition, they provide a selection of sauces at the table, and these were also exceptional. We also liked their craft beers. Interestingly, if you purchase craft beer to go at a microbrewery, this place stands out. They literally fill the can from the draft spigot and seal the can. If you want fresh craft beer, there is not a better way to get it. I highly recommend you try this place. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Stopped for lunch on Friday afternoon. We really liked the beers. My salad was very fresh and a good size portion. My husband liked his burger and the French fries were seasoned and very crisp. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the nice cross breeze. There was country music playing inside but no music outside. The whole place was clean and neat. We'd come back! read more

Phenomenal!! Nothing but a glowing review of this place. Had a party of seven and our server was more than accommodating even as she was working the bar. The beers were great, my personal fave was the Ferris Bueller, and the bbq was outstanding. I recommend this spot wholeheartedly for anyone in the area! read more

Fried pickles were definitely homemade. From the pickling up. They didn't have too much batter, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The beer options were nice. A bit for everyone with changing options. We ordered Sammie's - pork & brisket. Meats were cold but hope it was a one time off thing. The brisket did have a nice smoke ring to it. The nachos were also cold and the cheese curdled pretty quickly. Service was amazing and so we would come back and give them another try based on beer options and the service. read more

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other 1 star reviews. I had the brisket cheesesteak and was very disappointed. The brisket was just OK but was buried under a huge pile of lettuce and tomato. The roll it was on was not fresh--quite dry & stale. The queso was nothing special and the barbecue sauce was straight out of the fridge cold and the consistency of water. I would have loved to bring these issues to the attention of management in a timely fashion, but the waitress didn't return to check on me until I was finished eating--they were not busy and this level of service is inexcusable. I did tell her about the issues with the roll which I couldn't eat--but she didn't seem to care. There is better BBQ in the area! read more

Flavors were good and tasty was there on trivia night not the best time to go and just eat, waited extra 5 minutes to get sat. First run of food was not has hot as it should be, however waitress responded fast and I got replacement food, which was hot. Cornbread was good for northern restaurant. Beer they brew is very good read more

Nice local place. Great variety, reasonably priced. Can be loud especially if band is playing read more

The BBQ is good. The beers ok. The service is great. We also enjoy the trivia. The restaurant is always clean.

This is a great place! My wife and I have been wanting to stop and we were not disappointed! Great BBQ food and great beer selection! They had a band which was great. Also was very clean and well laid out. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great! The only minor complaint was the owner was behind the bar most of the time we sat there and she never said a word to us. I'd expect that for a place like this, she would have been friendlier and put customer service first. read more

Been to back home twice since it opened. Love that we have a local bbq joint with beer so close to the cranberry/mars area. For me the highlight was the pork. The sauces were great too. Love the idea for seasonal sauces. read more

Well what can I say we went here as someone recommended it to us. So first we tried to ordered Ribs but they ran out last night and it was 3 pm so they must not cook overnight. Should make a discloser no ribs until after 5pm. Or something.... read more

Back home BBQ hit the spot for 3 hungry hikers. The beef brisket sandwich was good. Along with the backed beans side. We sat inside on a chilly day in November, but the outside seating looked fun. The service was excellent. Very attentive to customers! read more

When you pull up to a BBQ shop you expect to see or smell a smoker outside. Not here, they must use an electric smoker of some sort to try and get the job done. Got the sampler like I always do when I go to a new BBQ shop. When the brisket came out without a smoke ring I knew I was in trouble. Service was great, ambiance was good, price was high for the quality, food was very meh. I wouldn't waste your appetite here. read more

good was great but please tell the waitress that she wld not assume someone wants another round without asking. we paid for it and she of course got her tip but we may not return because of this. read more

Gave this place a try last night and had a great experience! It was a busy Saturday evening and we arrived right at dinner time. The place was busy with a full bar and some folks ahead of us at the door. Despite the crowd, the hostess gave us a choice of tables and we picked one a bit away from the live music that was about to start. We had a little wait after being seated which gave us a chance to peruse the draft list and menu. They have about ten in-house beers with a good variety from lager to stout so something for everyone. They do flights of four which allowed me to sample a few and also let my wife taste one before ordering a glass. My favorite was the Appalachian Pale ale. We got the Buffalo chicken dip to share with the table which was great. I ordered a platter which allowed choice of two meats and two sides. The ribs were amazing with meat falling off the bone! Beans and Mac and cheese on the side tasted as good as they looked. The owner/pit-master came over to check on us and shared a bit about the origin and setup. They have a brand new tanking system onsite. This is a real family business and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Almost forgot to mention they do growler fills - yours or one available for purchase on site. Enjoy! read more

I've lived in NC, the home of BBQ, and this place has the good 'ole South beat. Food quality is really amazing and the restaurant has a comfortable feel. Can't wait to come back! read more

$60 for 2 you pick 3 meals. Mac and cheese was inedible, the cheese wasn't creamy, but clumped around the noodles, it was inedible because it was oddly spicy too. The potato soup smelled like vomit but tasted okay. The ribs were almost inedible as they were so tough, also had a ton of big pepper seasonings on it, however the Smokey flavor was okay. The pulled pork was okay. I liked the brisket other that having up pick off a ton of fat from it. Overall more aggravation/ waste than enjoyment and I was looking forward to a big comforting meal of tender meat. read more
