She was super friendly and knowledgeable. I ended up with a brisket sandwich and my husband got the Rueben but he switched up the meat by choosing brisket and coleslaw instead of corned beef and kraut and he said it was amazing. We shared a few sides. We had the handcut fries which were made fresh and delicious. We had the Mac and cheese which was creamy and hot and we shared a slice of cornbread, yum! To top the meal off we had the made from scratch Blackberry Margarita and it was fantastic. The bartender is a transplant from the Columbus area and has spent many years in some finer dining establishments and it really shows. He is knowledgeable and very creative. You can tell he loves what he does. Overall this place is well worth the visit. Its a cute casual spot with great food and tasty drinks. The brisket was so flavorful and tender it just fell apart when they were preparing my sandwich. Run, don't walk to this place. Its a hidden gem in Mt. Vernon.

His unique selection of old fashioneds are the kind of thing you won't find anywhere else. Fairly extensive selection of bourbon for little Mt Vernon! The staff and service are great as well. Must tries: brisket, egg rolls, Wednesday smash burgers, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, ribs, an old fashioned or a fresh homemade margarita!

Honestly, I usually come for the sides, but I am also a fan of the wings. Wings are huge, and I'm good with 1 or 2 only. He makes the best coleslaw, no kidding. It's not overly mayo drenched, but not vinegar based either. I don't know just get some. I also got the smoked cabbage, and that was wonderful as well. Just for fun, I tried the smoked chicken salad. This is very smokey, but, again, I loved it. I do like smokey flavor. The menu is pretty focused - barbeque, wings, sides, some fun specials. Small dining areas, both indoor and outdoor. A meal can add up a bit, but I think it's worth it. Not sure this is my best review, but I'm too excited that he's open to be coherent.

Both sandwiches were super hot, so we ended up eating them open-faced. Styrofoam also melted. The mac and cheese was tasty but light on noodles, and the baked beans were solid. The place is small but quiet. Overall, decent. We'll try it again in the future.

I saw this place being advertised by someone on social media so I decided to check it out. From the…read moreoutside, it looks intriguing. It's a wooden cabin located right in front of a drive thru store. The parking lot has some spaces but it definitely needs some work done - a lot of potholes due to the weather. Once you get out of your car, you can smell the smokiness of the bbq place. Inside, they have wooden picnic tables but space is limited - there are only 4 tables. It definitely gives cozy cabin vibes. They have a screen next to the menu to place your order. There was only one gentleman behind the counter fulfilling orders. Although not many people were eating in, they seemed busy with takeout orders. Due to the lack of workers, tables weren't being wiped down and there was some trash on the floor. Anywho, we tried their kitchen sink and a half chicken. The pulled pork was my favorite. It was so juicy and had the perfect smokiness to it. The ribs were good too. I was excited to try the brisket but was left disappointed after the first bite since it was cold. The mac & cheese also had good flavor but it was also barely even warm. The chicken had the smoky taste too but it lacked seasoning. Overall this place has potential. If they fixed their food temperature, improved the cleanliness, and friendlier customer service, this place would be a 5/5.

Enjoyed trying this new spot in Utica with everyone's favorite Grandma…read more Food: my brisket platter was really really good. Both the traditional and chipotle sauces were an excellent pairing and their Mac and cheese was superb. The green beans were a little soggy which I find off putting, but the flavor was good. Also tried their grilled bacon wrapped poppers - super spicy, but really good. Service: had a really nice interaction with the owner and our server was really nice. However, they weren't very busy and a couple things were forgotten and the baked potato was severely under cooked and hard. Giving them 4 stars because everyone was very nice and the brisket was excellent. Just some minor "complaints" that wouldn't be a deterrent from trying it again.

I had the Carolina chopped pork for the first time and it was great, as were the waffle fries (as per usual). Can be a bit pricey but the portion sizes and quality makes it good value. I'm sad they're not as busy as they used to be a few years ago.

The menu offers a wide variety of bbq meals, sandwiches and interesting sides. And don't forget soft serve ice cream. Prices are reasonable with most sandwiches running $7-10. Many locals were picking up bbq meals to go. We tried the Seafood Mac which came in a syrofoam cup as a generous portion. There were several small shrimp and maybe a little crab meat in a very creamy sauce. The potato soup was a special and was very good with a little spicy kick and full of new potato's. The soup was very thick and filling, but a tad salty. Servers are friendly and efficient. Easy on and off US70.

This is recommended by other businesses, so I was initially going to go to Y Bridge brewing Company and they don't serve food and I asked what was great what was amazing and they suggested this place.

The menu is huge. They have a delicious array of barbecue sauces to go with. The cashier is friendly, knows the menu well and knows what to recommend for kids, and is a very positive person to talk with. If I'm ever stopping over here, especially during spring, I have to come back. They have a brisket Sunday which is brisket on top of mashed potatoes, and it is fantastic. Very hearty, but very very yummy.
