    Brisket, Smoked Mac and Cheese, and Fries.
    Ian P.

    Gave this place a try on their opening weekend and was beyond pleasantly surprised. It may be a bit of a drive for those in Altoona or State College but it's worth every mile. I ordered the brisket with a side of smoked mac and cheese and fries which came to be $12. The meal was delivered to me quickly and was plated well. The brisket was juicy and tender while being perfectly spiced. The two sides were just as delicious with the mac and cheese having that nice smokey flavor, while the fries were perfectly crispy fresh cut fries while still being soft on the inside. I left as full and content as I could imagine and will surely be back to try other items. Easy recommend if you have even a cursory interest in delicious BBQ.

    I especially like their pulled pork & beef brisket. Their location has plenty of parking and their hours are reasonable.

    The brisket is amazing and I love their homemade sauce. The loaded nachos and loaded fries are always great.

    Cute joint a bit outside of campus. The atmosphere is quaint and great for a date or family/friends…read moreouting, and the staff and attentive and friendly :) My cousin and I ordered their bbq ribs, beef brisket, cornbread, and some sides. Their ribs are tender, saucy, but a bit on the dry side. We enjoyed the beef brisket, however. It was succulent, moist, and fell apart with each bite, melting in our mouths. Definitely recommend getting the brisket! The cornbread was decent with the butter, but nothing super extraordinary to us. The mac and cheese and beans were also alright. Overall, a good place to try out if you're looking for something outside of downtown campus. Get the brisket!

    The texture of the pulled pork was fine, but it was a tad flavorless. I do think the pork had…read morepotential to be pretty good, I'd say as is, a 4.5/10 for the pork on its own without any sauce. But for pork being a salty meat, we felt we needed more just to give it some flavor. Unfortunately, their salt packet container was filled exclusively with pepper (this is easily correctable and does not factor into our score). The brisket texture was OK and had a decent color and smoky flavor to it, though it may have been slightly overdone, as it was very dry. If I were to describe the flavor it would be Jack Link's Beef Jerky. The sauces were, to be blunt, not great. The mustard based sauce was pretty much just mustard. There was a ketchup based sauce that didn't offer much else. There were 2 other sauces, neither of which paired well with the 2 meats, and frankly I'm having a hard time even coming up with words to describe them. A way to improve would be a vinegar based sauce for the pulled pork (Carolina style), and offer up a reasonably spicy sauce. The biggest issue was we felt like we were chasing flavor and unable to find it, even mixing and matching sauces and meats. Prices were very reasonable for the quantities of food.
