Apparently, they have not had smoked chicken thighs for at least a month because their smoker is broken and the corporate owner hasn't responded with a new one. We ordered a chicken Caesar wrap that was almost inedible. Dry shredded chicken. Dry lettuce. Little sign of dressing or anything that would give it flavor. Seating next to the creek is dog- and kid-friendly but you have to deal with a fair amount of highway noise. Watched a boisterous and aggressive bartender harass an older customer. All in all didn't leave the place with a "good vibe".

Their ribs are tender, saucy, but a bit on the dry side. We enjoyed the beef brisket, however. It was succulent, moist, and fell apart with each bite, melting in our mouths. Definitely recommend getting the brisket! The cornbread was decent with the butter, but nothing super extraordinary to us. The mac and cheese and beans were also alright. Overall, a good place to try out if you're looking for something outside of downtown campus. Get the brisket!

The texture of the pulled pork was fine, but it was a tad flavorless. I do think the pork had…read morepotential to be pretty good, I'd say as is, a 4.5/10 for the pork on its own without any sauce. But for pork being a salty meat, we felt we needed more just to give it some flavor. Unfortunately, their salt packet container was filled exclusively with pepper (this is easily correctable and does not factor into our score). The brisket texture was OK and had a decent color and smoky flavor to it, though it may have been slightly overdone, as it was very dry. If I were to describe the flavor it would be Jack Link's Beef Jerky. The sauces were, to be blunt, not great. The mustard based sauce was pretty much just mustard. There was a ketchup based sauce that didn't offer much else. There were 2 other sauces, neither of which paired well with the 2 meats, and frankly I'm having a hard time even coming up with words to describe them. A way to improve would be a vinegar based sauce for the pulled pork (Carolina style), and offer up a reasonably spicy sauce. The biggest issue was we felt like we were chasing flavor and unable to find it, even mixing and matching sauces and meats. Prices were very reasonable for the quantities of food.

I'm not positive but I've heard they were the previous owners of the legendary "Schnitzel's tavern" in Bellefonte (which burnt to the ground with the Bush house)? Their menu has a variety of items with sandwiches, entrees, etc. but the german section is truly delicious. My favorite, pictured, is the badischer schnitzel. My wife tried the "broadway" sandwich.
