    Texas Brisket Sandwich w/ kimchi
    Brittany C.

    *Noting my GPS via Google maps showed a different location. Delicious, roadside stop for a quick eat. Had the Texas Brisket Sandwich, it was ~$9, came w/ a pickle and topped w/ kimchi and special sauce. Poutine fries were a generous portion, and yummy, but very salty, but when in Rome! My sister ordered a special deep fried chicken sandwich, came with pickle, HUGE w/ special seasoned, breading. Also ordered sweet potato fries, size small, which was huge! Thick cut, w/ a side of special dipping sauce, a bit different from the usual honey & cinnamon! Staff was SUPER friendly and kind and helpful. Dog friendly, which was nice for traveling with our furry friend. Seating is entirely outside, but under 2 separate awnings / a small building. They have a single restroom, inside. Would stop again!

    Fresh cut fries with ketchup and malt vinegar

    Great experience! We were on our way back home and wanted to try a local place. SO glad we stopped here. I got a smoke pulled bbq pork sandwich that was to DIE for and my husband got a bacon cheeseburger and their chicken sandwich. We both also got their fresh cut fries and a bottled drink. Everything was great and the Owner/ cook even came out and asked us how everything was. He was so sweet and kind. The place has a picnic tables to sit at outside and the small town vibe is just amazing. And you can't beat the price! Will 100% stop by again on our way to Buffalo!

    Grilled pork and veggies wrap

    A group of us ate here a few weeks ago and this is definitely one of those little hidden gems to check out. Somehow my sister found this place and quickly spread the word. We tried the smoked pork sandwich, the garlic parm fries, the BBQ Dog, and the Grilled Pork and Veggies wrap and shared bites. Everything was amazing. My favorite was the Grilled Pork and Veggies wrap which included grilled pork and veggies of course, but the wrap itself was also grilled so, double the grill action. There were also pickles inside. This was really unique and very enjoyable. The charred pork chunks on the hot dog were also excellent and would probably be a delicious topping to just about anything. A few things to note: the seating is all outdoors. There is a covered patio but it's all picnic tables. Definitely a spot for a nice day or an order to go. Second, the place is small and was out of a number of items. So it's probably best not to go with your heart set on something specific. We really wanted to try the brisket stroganoff fries but they were all out of brisket. And finally, ribs are not part of their regular menu which seemed strange for a BBQ joint. But plenty of other tasty options! If you are visiting Dunkirk/Fredonia or driving through the area, I recommend making a stop off exit 59 and checking this place out!

    Brisket Fries

    Nice lunch, well made , tasty for sure...the gravy was just a bit too smoky is all. Sandwich was really enjoyed!

    BBQ Dog
    Ed F.

    My first stop after driving back to NY from Florida and it did not disappoint! The BBQ dog was just as I remembered it. A wonderful sahlens hotdog with generous portions of bbq pork on top. Add in the fresh cut curly fries and loganberry drink and I feel right back at home. Well done

    Curly fries
    Emily S.

    I came here while driving through Dunkirk, I've been wanting to try their BBQ for a while. Usually a good test is a places brisket. I'm happy to report their brisket was tender and flavorful. The fat was rendered well and there was good ring marks . They have a horseradish mix on the sandwich that was tasty. The curly fries... I worked at a hot dog stand for too many years lol I'm going to admit I'm a bit picky. The fries were a touch overdone for my liking. I'm giving this place 4 stars because of the curly fries and when I received my takeout there was no napkins, forks or condiments in the bag. I seldom get takeout right now and sit by the lake to eat. I couldn't do that comfortably which was a little disappointing. I look forward to trying their ribs on a Thursday and updating my review .

    Poutine

    Amazing food. Full of flavor and reasonably priced. The chicken sandwich was plump and crispy with some tangy-spicy pickle cole slaw that made it stand out above any other sandwich I've ever had. The fries come in generous portions and are cooked to perfection. Well worth a stop.

    Smoked Pork Sandwich

    This place never disappoints! My favorite is the smoked pork sandwich and garlic Parmesan fries...actually it's the only thing I have ever tried. Every time I go, I try to convince myself to order something different...but always order the same!

    Ice cream menu
    Katherine P.

    Thanks, Tom D for your great review of this place, it encouraged us to give it a try! So we were at EBC West for a late lunch/early dinner, and we wanted some ice cream. I saw Tom's review of this place, and so we decided to come over to check it out. This is one of those classic roadside shack type places. They have everything from burgers to dogs to BBQ, and of course the ice cream. Lee decided to go for a Hawaiian sundae, and I went for the maple-bacon BBQ sundae. I was a little too chicken, and opted to not have the BBQ sauce on it, but had it on the side. Portions are generous for the price, and they are using standard Turkey Hill Ice Cream, but they have a creative mind for sundaes. Lee really enjoyed his, and I found that dipping the ice cream into the vinegar-based BBQ sauce actually worked. One of my favorite things about the decor of the place, which is pretty much outdoors only seating, was their planter boxes. They are filled with a beautiful assortment of flowers, but also, functional garden items. I saw tomatoes and basil growing in amongst the flowers. Very nice touch! We didnt' try the savory options, but if we were to be in the area again, I'd definitely give it a try.

    Love this place. Right on the pier in Dunkirk. Cool vibe in the area, very beach-town. The food…read moreand drinks reflect that, lots of seafood and umbrella drinks. But there's a good mix of other cocktails and beers too. The owner seems really nice, she was working the kitchen along with a couple other family members, good to see, especially since it was all women- love a female owned business that's doing well and doing it right. Chicken tenders were good, not great but I think they're on the menu to placate the kids coming so fair enough. The rest of the food was GREAT. We started with calamari and it was great, came with a lemon dressing already on it which was good and didn't detract from the crispiness at all. Also had lots of battered pepper rings as well, nice balance. Combo seafood basket was solid. The shrimp were great as was the haddock - all battered on site. Fries were thin and crispy. The winner though was the California Grouper sandwich which was a daily special. It was fantastic. I could have eaten two. Came on a soft roll, with slaw and bacon and avocado and I forget what else because I devoured it so quickly. I'd go back just for that sandwich. This place is definitely worth a stop if you're ever out by the lake.

    What a find!!! I almost don't want to leave a review because…read morethis place should really remain a secret !!!!! I lived in Dunkirk for several years, but the changes that they have made to the pier and boardwalk are really unbelievable !!!! Shops & restaurants and this gem!! Let me be very clear in saying that there are maybe three tables inside; this is definitely a grab and go restaurant . However there is a huge patio with many many tables even if they are full, which is doubtful, you could certainly grab a spot on the boardwalk nearby . We happened to have a beautiful night and we have an event to go to at SUNY Fredonia so a friend recommended this place . We waited about 15 minutes to place our order. After ordering we enjoyed our drinks out on the patio while we waited for our food. I opted for an alcoholic beverage while my son had a virgin piña colada. Our number was called maybe 15 minutes later and we were served absolute deliciousness. My son ordered the California, which was a delicious crispy fish sandwich while I opted for an Asian chicken wrap. Our food was absolutely delicious. Served just right. The food temperature was perfect and the portions were ample . The service was wonderful. If I ever come upon a beautiful night again in Dunkirk, I will definitely be visiting this place !!!!
