YUM! Delicious food, atmosphere was amazing. Staff was friendly. The half chicken was delicious,…read morepulled chicken was amazing, fries were great! Pulled pork was a hit too! Definitely will come back. Place was hopping but we didn't have to wait, food was really quick to come out too! Only negative which I've seen other reviewers mention ... was the drinks. (I'd suggest ordering your drink in a bottle, or bringing a drink from home...) our drinks tasted really awful. (Soda, water; etc) we narrowed it down that we think it was the ice. I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!

When it got a little chilly, the staff turned on the heaters which was nice. Service was great and so was the food! I'd recommend pulled chicken with the Carolina Gold Sauce. Happy hour was going on where drinks were 2 for 1 which was also a nice added treat! Everyone I was with was happy with their orders and hopefully we can get back soon!

My friend and I decided to check out Piggy Pat's tonight and got a seat on their deck. Our server…read morewas attentive and very friendly. We started with an order of hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. The hush puppies were delicious, and the cinnamon sauce it came with was the star of the show. We weren't huge on the fried green tomatoes; I think it needed a little more seasoning. My friend got the Alabama chicken sandwich and enjoyed it. I got the pulled pork plate with salt potatoes and mac and cheese. I thought the pork was good, but the sides were great! I liked that the sauces were on the table so I could sample several of them (I ended up liking the Texas sauce best). We ended the night saying we'd love to come back on a night with live music! Check it out next time you're craving some barbecue!

Be aware that there is an extra charge for rocks (ice) with your drink(s). Initially I ordered a…read moreGuiness. Out of Guiness. For food I ordered the fish tacos. No fish tacos today. And then I receive the bill. Ice should be part of the price of the drink - not a seperate charge. Something so simple will likely dissuade us from visiting again. I figured the total bill with tip and deducted the ice cost.

I tried one of their platters- a half rack of ribs with pulled pork. For the sides, I had cornbread, baked beans and macaroni and cheese. It was all phenomenal!

A cheap quick place to grab a sandwich. Looks like outdoor dining, windows to order from . I got the hot dog with the works , and the roast beef sandwich. Both were like $5 each . I love my condiments but the hot dog had so much stuff on it , the hot dog was lost somewhere in that pile . It was so soggy it was almost impossible to eat . The roast beef sandwich was the better of the two, I've had $15 sandwiches that's not as good , it's on a small burger bun with over an inch of meat and sauce , also a mess , but that's why it's $5 ! So good . Also a little messy . But tasty ! There was a line , but there quick to fill the orders , give it a try !

What a delicious bbq spot!…read more My boyfriend and I are staying at the connected hotel across the street! We smelled and saw the smoker then we checked-in, and new we had to dine here! Today was the day! We stopped in for dinner. The smell was incredible. We had pulled pork nachos, smoked wings and smoked brisket sandwich. All was amazing! The nachos were so tasty and had a generous amount of pork throughout. Wings were absolutely amazing. I need smoked wings in my life at least once a week. Smoked brisket sandwich was amazing as well!! So many flavors all married together...yummyness in each and every bite. The sandwich also came with fries that were also delicious! Service was great as well. I absolutely recommended this place to anyone in the area! They are open year round, not just in the summer! What are you waiting for?!

We were wanting BBQ and had thought this was another location of the Boneyard in Utica which closed and it was a beautiful day in upstate NY. So, we decided to take a ride up to Sylvan Beach. The waitress told us this location was a franchise and while menu looked similar items to me they were not as good. The ribs tasted the same but pulled pork sandwich to me was not that good. Sandwich was on a different style bun but what made it disappointing was the amount of BBQ sauce on sandwich it was so over powering you did not taste the smoke flavor and bread on bottom was soggy and hard and mess to eat. Salt potatoes were good but corn bread was dry. Wait staff were friendly and will definitely be back.

Their menu consists of delicious American flair options. I truly don't think you could go wrong with any appetizer or entree of your choosing. For our starter we ordered the fried meatballs, fried cheese curds and the tomato & burrito plate. Every single dish was wonderful! For our entrees we chose the chicken katsu and their scallops. The chicken katsu was flavorful, juicy, breaded perfectly and topped with the most delicious sauce I've ever had on a chicken sandwich. My dinner date stated the scallops were cooked to perfection! We ended our evening with dessert & cocktails and as you can imagine from this review they were also very delicious! I would also like to highlight our waitress Mia. She was very attentive, helpful and extremely kind. The entire staff were phenomenal! Manager included.
