Holy smokes! Smoked meat that is. We were so thrilled to find this gem of a place…read more We actually headed here because folks told us it was Celiac friendly, but you won't notice the difference whether you're eating gluten free or not. The ribs were *beyond amazing*. No joke. I know they serve other things, but do NOT miss the ribs. All of their sauces are GF so you don't have to worry about what you're eating. And for those of you craving carbs that aren't diet-restricted, the Cheddar Jalapeño Corn Bread was delish. Located in an old train station, it has a HUGE gorgeous bar that is the statement piece within the restaurant. But feel free to sit outside when the weather is good.

Both were hot and sweet, my favorite type of sauce. The red cabbage coleslaw was delicious and plentiful. The green beans and tomatoes were awesome. I wish they had greens too , but no. I also tried the polish sausage because somebody on Yelp said it was secretly the best thing on the menu. It was very good, but I'd say the brisket was better. Lots of nice craft beers available - some local. The service was nice and friendly. Nicole was my bartender/server. I enjoyed hearing about her favorite menu items. As you'll see from my receipt, everything has an itemized cost, so the place is a little pricey. But still worth it to me.

During the colder months the outdoor seating also has heaters. Service: The servers are respectful and quick. Food: The burnt ends is extremely juicy and would recommend getting over regular brisket. The rib tips are also great if you enjoy eating cartilage. The Mac n cheese is good but I'd say it's standard. The potato casserole however really stands out to me. It has a very rich flavor and is one of my favorite things there. Sometimes certain meats are unavailable during the end of the day so it's important to keep that in mind and maybe call ahead if there's something specific you're looking for.

The chicken is super crispy outside while maintaining a moist and juicy inside. I love all the different and fun flavors making this place one of a kind! .

Everybody knows you can't have Lil Porgy's rib tips without that signature sauce, so I ordered mine with extra sauce too. Unfortunately, I trusted them and didn't check the bag before leaving. It was stapled shut and I figured it would be fine. I drove the 20 minutes home, got back, and realized they gave me zero sauce. Nothing at all. The rib tips were completely dry. I called them, let them know I had driven 20 minutes just to get these tips, and they said they would make it right. So I drove another 20 minutes back to the restaurant. After all that, they only handed me the sauce I originally paid for. No apology, and nothing else offered as a courtesy for wasting my time and gas. In total, I spent about 80 minutes driving for rib tips that were cold by the time I finally got to eat them. Really disappointed in the lack of care and customer service.
