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.

Ooohhh weee! Never knew a northern BBQ stand could impress a meat-eating Southern girl! You can…read morereally tell how much love and thoughts the owner puts into his items, especially the meat and sauces. 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. Dinners came with baked beans, coleslaw, and a roll. Ribs were fall off the bone. The pulled pork was juicy and tender. 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. I will definitely be going back to try more, I recommend you do too.

The new restaurant looks pretty cool & they will have a bigger menu than what they have now. But what I had was freeeeeeking amazing. Like if you're not eating here, are you even living?! Nicest people working. Cook was on point both times I went. The honey garlic chicken sandwich was huge but more importantly it was fried to juicy perfection! So many crispy nubs iykyk. The sauce completed it & was crazy delicious. top tier fried chicken! So good I went back a few days later and had a double smashburger, which was on the special board. It was like a super smashburger- thicker and holy crap so so good. The fries were homemade and perfect. And my kids got The Kitchen Sink fries which is fries topped with their homemade mac n cheese (addictive) and crispy honey garlic chicken (cut into pieces). I wanted the pulled pork but I arrived too late & it was gone. I absolutely will drive an hour when they open their new place!
