I'll start with the positives. Service was great. She was by herself and did a great job. It was a…read morequiet night with only a handful of customers, but she was on it. The place was clean and nice. And the foods flavor was good. Now, the bad. While the flavor of the food was good, the food itself wasn't. Everything was extremely dry. We got the hush puppies to start and the sampler to try a little of everything. It was like a desert it was so dry. The hush puppies, chicken, ribs, brisket (which was more like pulled pork because they shred it for some reason) corn bread, and somehow both the coleslaw and baked beans, too. The only way this happens is if they make things earlier in the day and then everything just sits. Meaning it's not freshly made. As I mentioned, it was not very busy, so I'm assuming they make their food in advance and let it sit in pans over heat all day. Which is not what you do with BBQ. It's quite disappointing because the flavor is there. The spices they use were a southern flavor, which is good; but it's so dry, you'll be reenacting the scene from Christmas Vacation just to eat your food. They should consider either limiting their hours they are open to help not have food sitting around to dry out or reconsidering how the make their food. Dry BBQ is the worst, hopefully they'll make the appropriate changes.

We have been loyal fans of his food, for decades, when he ran his Beale St. BBQ restaurant in Bath, which sadly no longer exists. He has a a FB page with information about pop up openings - Follow them closely and try to arrive at the beginning of his opening, he sells out FAST! It's a take out spot in Fairfield with plenty of parking given the fact people are picking up their food and leaving. We love everything he serves! literally everything on the menu! St. Louis Ribs, Brisket, Pork Shoulder, Mac and Cheese, Cabbage/Carrot side, Cornbread. So comforting and so delicious. We highly recommend stopping by when he is open.

If you're passing by this area, you absolutely have to stop by for a quick bite to eat. The meat is smoked right next to the stand and is first come first serve. He offered several selections of drinks and sides, but you have to try a side of slaw and the BBQ sandwich! The slaw had a nice sweetness to it, and I was impressed. The mac & cheese was fair, it just wasn't my normal style, but the BBQ made up for it. Obviously fresh and perfectly smoked. I don't think we could've stopped by the stand on a more beautiful, perfect day! Enjoy sitting outdoors by the food stand under a clean and well covered picnic area. The desserts were also fantastic and I recommend the key lime pie when it's available.

Location - Great thing about their location is there are plenty of places to kill time while waiting for your table - local shops or Waterville Creates. We were there on a Saturday and we arrived around 2:30 for an late lunch/early dinner. To our surprise, there was a 25 minute wait! It's a popular family restaurant as well. It's a lot bigger inside than it seems from the outside. When you walk in, there are mostly high tables and a long bar with seating. Walk past the bar and on the right is a dining area with a lot more tables. We had 2 kids and 4 adults and we had plenty of room at a center table. There were booths along the wall. Our server was so great. So patient, and kind. She was great. She checked in regularly, our drinks never went dry. The food was excellent. We had the food for take out during the pandemic and thought it was ok. Having it in the restaurant - HUGE difference. I got the cheese curd burger without the top bun. My nephew loved his chicken wings, my niece loved her mac and cheese. We all loved our burgers and my bro-in-law liked his reuben. I loved the fries, they seemed more the "chips" from the UK - which I loved. Parking - street or on the concourse below Main Street. We will definitely be back.

We were impressed by the service and especially the food. We had; pulled pork dinner, ribs dinner, and "racetrack" wings. Everything was unbelievable and the portions were large.

The wings were crispy but juicy and the "racetrack" sauce was spicy as advertised. We had a nice conversation with Elijah "Mr. Ribs" after he brought my kids some ice pops, which was a nice gesture.

And the addition of the mac and cheese really rounded out this savory, delightful dish. My one critique is that the fries themselves were not my preference, slightly crisp but definitely not hand cut. They were tossed with a sweet fry seasoning, which made the dish a little too sweet for my taste. The honey garlic fried chicken sandwich was also delicious! The fried chicken was topped with the sauce instead of coated (unlike the chicken in the kitchen sink fries), but it was still good. The sauce was delicious and the chicken was high quality and well balanced with all the toppings. We also got grilled haddock tacos, which were amazing! They were huge and looked a bit like a take on "white people taco night" but that would be wrong because the flavor was there! The haddock was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The tortillas were fine, nothing special, but the sauces and toppings were fresh and flavorful. Overall, this place offers delicious food and has friendly staff. We'll definitely be back for some mac and cheese, haddock tacos, and honey garlic chicken!
