The beef patty had a good sear but wasn't real juicy. Apparently the side of the day changes and today was watermelon which I thought was weird. It wasn't as bad as I thought because, despite everything being served together, the burger and the watermelon remained fairly separated.

He had been a customer all his life before moving to California, and my brother-in-law grew up on this place. We ordered the mixed meat plate, half rack of baby back ribs and the pulled pork sandwich, all with curly fries. My favorite meats were the fall-off-the-bone ribs and the brisket! Everything was lean and smoky. The plates came with a fresh bun, beans and coleslaw. They were not "wow" but delicious nonetheless. I liked the sauce so much that I bought some to bring home. The restaurant itself is super tiny and homey. Since we have our dogs, I got the order to-go while he waited at his family's place. Everything was packed nice and tight, resulting in zero leakage! Overall, I am not sure we will be back as we are only in town a couple days, but I definitely will keep it in rotation for future visits. Pros: - fair pricing - excellent quality meats (no smoke rings though) - beautiful date-night location (near a river!!) - decent amount of parking for a downtown area - cozy ambience - super friendly (a running theme in the Midwest) - unique, local craft sodas - sauce on the side for mix plate Cons: - ribs slightly over-sauced - stairs and ramp a tad steep to entrances - not in Oceanside :)

This…read moretime we parked in the handicapped spot and we're shocked to see that the front door is even with the parking lot. There is a small hill but you can push a wheelchair or walk with a walker or cane without issues. There is a daily lunch menu that ends at 3pm. We got here at 2:26 so we were able to save some money too. My husband and I both ordered the brisket sandwich. I ordered mine without BBQ sauce and added some yellow mustard (tomatoes really cause my arthritis pain to increase) I was very happy to see that the sauce is added afterwards. You get to pick a potato from a list of options... I picked a baked potato with sour cream and butter and my husband picked the curly fries. You also get to pick baked beans or coleslaw, we both selected Cole slaw. It was a vinger based coleslaw which we love! We ordered a corn muffin and it was huge and moist (not dry at all). The restaurant is very clean and you feel like your in a cabin. The temperature outside is 90+ and it was very comfortable here .. in the low 70's for sure. This is a nice casual place to have lunch or to celebrate a special occasion with family and friends. Lots of great food options they even have soup and salads on the menu. I highly recommend dining here when you are in the area. Plenty of parking and tables inside and outside for dining in. We will definitely be back!

Immediately after our call, I sent him a confirmation email with all the details he requested as he stated that an email was a contract to him. He sent me the menu the following day asking if it looked good and for confirmation. I sent an email back 9 mins later confirming! I then sent an email for follow up a week prior to my company picnic. NO response! Now we are less then 24 hours away, growing concerned for no response. I called Jim. He answered, stated he thought he had responded to my email. I said no, I did not receive a response. Said he would call me back in 15 mins. 20 mins later and still no call. I called a few times with no answer. Sent a text asking for confirmation. He stated that I never sent a confirmation email back in June, so he booked another event! I have the proof. Never have I ever dealt with such lack of communication and no empathy for HIS mistake. I will NEVER use this place again. Or try to for that matter!

Local residents opening a local shop after success with their double R bbq food truck…read more I know this family gives back to the Hampshire/Pingree community; for example donating hot dogs to the Whips between a recent double header. There are maybe 20 seats if you want to dine in, including a row facing the downtown drag of Hampshire. This is my second time here. First time I just got tenders. They were fine. Not my son's favorite, but I'm sure fine for most kids. Today was a much better order. Today I got the Southwest chicken wrap. Half tonight for dinner and half tomorrow for lunch, it's a healthy portion. The Southwest dressing is amazing, decent spice level; between mild and medium. The chicken was sooooo good! Grilled, tender, not overly seasoned, excellent! The tortilla chips in the wrap are so crunchy. Loved them. There was also black beans, onion, lettuce and tomato. Also corn, did not love, felt canned, but overall excellent order! My son got a hot dog! Excellent dog for $4. Great snap, beef dog with excellent flavor and a steamed poppy seed bun. Lastly are the fries that came with the wrap. Nice portion size. Not the nicest flavor. A bit dry nor salty enough. They are fresh cut, and look like they could rival Beef Shack, but not yet. I would swap the side if I had a choice. That said, the wrap is great, and I will go back to try other ones as well!
