Years ago we saw the show that centered around under dog bbq. Finally we made it here after our…read morelast visit to Erie when we found the location we went to was closed. Walking in I didn't get that bbq vibe right off the bat. Sure there were some sauces and ribs for sale but I was kind of left wondering if this was a bbq place. Our waiter / cook/ bartender had us seated in the wide open dining area and drinks moving in no time, we placed our food order shortly afterwards. The misses got the nachos, the chips were probably the best part of the dish, the queso was on the bland side and the chicken ... well some was tender and some really not so much. Kind of in impressed. The little yelper was down for her usual tenders, there was two large hand breaded tenders in the basket, and some fries. The tender breading wasn't a hit with her but that chicken was better than the nachos meat. After some peeling she ate it. The fries though, definitely could have used a little more time down, the weren't really crispy and had a hot sog to them. I got the smoked wings. Hellfire and rust belt. Of the two rubs the rust belt was the sweetest and overall best , but I'm a fan of spice and the hellfire was definitely the winner. The chicken wings had the same Kind of inconsistency . Some were perfectly cooked, others a bit dry. But their bleu cheese really was the standout for me. As a top wing reviewer in 2025 I've had a lot of wings and bleu cheese. This I would probably give a 7/10. Definitely saved the day with the wings. Underdog was a bit underwhelming but service really saved the day here. He was attentive, helpful And overall just great. The food however, definitely not what we had hoped for.

The chips were home-made so they took a while but we didn't notice because we had a pretty fierce game of pool going on. The table was beautiful, sticks were all straight & the chalk (hand & cue) was plentiful. The chips arrived in a basket, covered with just enough buffalo chicken dip, sour cream & bacon to feed 3 of us. Of course it didn't make us full, but who wants to fill a belly while trying to enjoy cold beers and a beautiful day. The back deck was open for smoking and once we started on the 'Mini-beer' shots, well, LOOK OUT. We had a great time. :D

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!

I usually get my 3 item BBQ combo so I don't stand there salivating at the menu and looking like a crazy person. lol! I love the combos as you can gather up the delicious BBQ sauces (do NOT tell me to pick one- I will cry as every single one is delicious). Should out to the mustard one. This girl here does not like mustard- and I usually snag two containers of that magic stuff. If you go in the afternoon during the summer- you get a beautiful view of the Harbor bridge and some awesome sailboats breezing by. The staff is smiling and fast. The only downside is- the BBQ is so good, our friends the local bees want it all to themselves and have been known to chase me around a few chairs outside. lol. I'm still leaving my 5 star because I'm not letting the bees win. Not sharing Mr Bumble, so buzz off. Literally.

Each meat was moist and had just enough smoke flavor. Nothing was drenched in bbq sauce (it was on the side... although nothing needed it). And the side dishes?... they are NOT an afterthought. We had smoked mushrooms, beans and slaw. Each had a little flavor twist from the chef (I'm not going to give it away). Excellent. The service was very welcoming and attentive. Think Midwest nice. There was a constant flow of customers and everyone was greeted by the staff with small talk that just resulted in a very nice atmosphere to sit and enjoy your food! If you are looking for true BBQ, I would definitely suggest coming here... even if it's a bit of a drive for you. It's the best around Northeast Ohio imho.
