    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Anthony R.

    I remembered my dad saying we haven't had barbecue in a while so I told my brother that was the plan! My dad saw this spot on New Day Cleveland years ago and we keep coming back. When we got to the counter to order, the two ladies there both greeted us, although one was taking someone else's order. When my mom and I said we were gluten free, she had every answer we needed. Sauces, putting hush puppies on the side, no bread. Excellent job! We would have sat outside, but all of those tables were filled. We did get a table inside for the four of us. Packed inside too. They brought our food out to us when it was ready. With it being packed for Father's Day, 20-25 minutes wasn't that bad. The two sandwich eaters devoured their sandwiches and sides. The two meat platter had just the right amount of proteins and sides. Pulled pork is often my go to, but the brisket was divine on Sunday! I didn't know there were at least four kinds of beans available in the side but yum! The Green beans were solid, cooked in/with butter. Upon finishing our delicious lunch we went across the parking lot to the creamery. They had vegan options so I got one vanilla and one chocolate. The cookies and cream wasn't gluten free so I am unable to comment on that vegan option. Very smooth. An awesome finish to an excellent Father's Day lunch. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great food. One of my favorite barbecue spots!

    So friendly as you are cheerfully greeted upon entering. Also wished my hubby Happy Father's. What a nice touch. Their BBQ is amazing. I split the two meat platter with my son. The brisket literally melted in your mouth. We had the original bbq sauce. Great choice. Along with the platter we selected green beans and baked beans. Definitely worth the trip out to Warren.

    Really friendly counter staff and so many choices! I got a pulled pork sandwich and fries and my date got the mess plate. We enjoyed everything. There is a condiment station where you can add sauces if you like. Give it a try!

    So we went to the Ambrosia concert in Warren, OH. We decided to leave early to grab a bite to eat along the way. We stumbled upon this place. OH-EM-GEE!!! Hands down THEE BEST bbq. The picture speaks for itself. It's not a big spot, but the service is great. It's a tiny bbq joint, and it can be a bit crowded inside, but they do have outdoor tables. They also have a creamery, right next door. We didn't get to try it because we were so full. I ordered the "Mess Plate" for $9.99 It comes with pulled pork, Mac n Cheese, sprinkled shredded cheese and two onion rings. I couldn't finish it. If you're in the area, definitely check them out!

    There is something that just feels right about being greeted with BB King and Blues Brothers music when entering a BBQ spot. I loved the ambiance of said music, warm conversation of adjacent families sharing their meals, and of course, the smell of some good cooking. The variety of sauces was fun, the tea was good, and the sides and BBQ themselves were on point. The service for better or worse is pretty hands-off. Be aware also that they charge a bit more for brisket when eaten as a part of their meat sets, for some reason. Good times here, and I would visit again if I get to visit the Buckeye state.

    Brisket, sausage, collage greens, and slaw. Yum!

    So many choices so little room in my stomach to eat it all.... But I tried. Pork rinds. I love them. Especially when they are fresh. These came in a pretty big paper bag and were suuuuper tasty. Brisket.... Just right. I think I got a little of each sauce and had fun dipping little pieces of it to try them all. The sauces were all great. But I liked the mustard one best. The burnt ends were my favorite. The sausage was spiiiicy! But so, so tasty! Collard greens were some of the best I've had. I couldn't eat it all and ended up eating the rest for lunch the next day. You definitely get your moneys worth. The kids got burgers and were very happy with them. The gal at the counter was super helpful and patient with the indecisive teens. It's probably a good idea I don't live nearby or I'd be here on the regular.

    You know the moment you walk into this joint that there's a legit pitmaster somewhere on the premises. I have traveled all over the country and have been to some of the best bbq joints in KC and Texas. This place is hands down some of the best bbq I have ever eaten. The flavor profiles in the shkrimps n cheddar jalapeño grits and in the greens are rich and well balanced. The ribs were perfectly seasoned and tender. The mac n cheese is creamy and delicious. I'm a dry rub bbq fan. I did not try any of the multiple flavors of bbq sauce. I was so stunned by how delicious the bbq was, I had to go next door to the creamery and experience the hype. I tried the Cookie Monster and the Blueberry Cheesecake, highly recommend. The staff and service were also top notch. Big ups to the owners. This is a hidden gem.

    I got the ribs last time and they were good but the brisket i got this time was pretty mid. Really dry and not a lot of flavor. The sides are where it's at tho espescially the cheesy potatoes!! The corn casserole is not bad as well but ive had better. My faves are definitely the cheesy potatoes and actually the pickles lmao they slap pretty hard

    The restaurant was clean, and our server was super sweet and attentive. The appetizers were great,…read morebut the seafood boil itself was just okay. I've had better seafood boils in Maryland. My boyfriend and I weren't really into the King Cajun Seafood Special Sauce. I usually go for house special sauces since they're usually good, but this one just didn't hit the spot. We ordered the hot spice level, but it wasn't spicy at all, and the sauce had this creamy taste--maybe they added flour or cornstarch to thicken it? I prefer my seafood boil sauce to be zesty and spicy. We ended up ordering a side of Cajun garlic butter sauce instead, and that was way better in my opinion. I also wish I had asked for a side of lemon slices (my bad), it would've made the flavors pop more with some extra zest and tang. One thing I really liked about the restaurant was that their seafood sizes were enormous! The shrimp and crawfish were jumbo-sized, and the Dungeness crab was packed with meat. Oh, and a heads up, when we ordered extra corn, we thought it would be three cut pieces, but I think it was actually three whole corn cut into thirds. So yeah, no need to order extra corn unless you really love it. We ended up leaving with a whole bag of corn. I guess that will be my lunch and dinner for tomorrow.

    The food, service, ambiance, everything was INCREDIBLE. We had tried other places closer to home…read moreand not been happy with them. I had actually found out about this place thru TikTok & convinced our friends to drive from Lisbon Oh to it to try. 50000000 stars out of 10. Will recommend to everyone I know and surely be back!!!!
