    The smoker out front, must have 2 or more because I smelled smoke but this one is not smoking
    Steven T.

    This has been a long time bookmark of mine so I thought that I would get if off the books today for lunch. My BBQ experience tells me if you smell smoke 90 % of the time it's going to be good and I smell smoke in the parking lot. The building looks over a hundred years old with a nice small bar as you walk in with a tin ceiling. They have a small dining room with stone walls which just screams old. My service was great from the young woman who took care of me and she got a 34% tip, they were slow when I was there and she did a great job. They have two of my favorite foods baked French onion soup and smoked ribs. I started with a whiskey old fashioned sour which was decent. I ordered the full rack with Mac and Cheese and frys as my second side. I started with the baked French onion soup that looked amazing presentation wise. It was hot and cheesy with a decent amount of cheese, croutons and onions but very average because the broth had no depth of flavor at all. My food came pretty quick and it looked delicious. The frys were not seasoned and not cooked to order or sat to long because they had no crisp in them and they were not hot at all. The Mac and Cheese looked creamy with spiral pasts cooked past Al Dente but not to total mush and very average again with no big cheese flavor like it's made for the masses, Mac and Cheese needs bold flavors like aged/sharp to offset the bland macaroni in my opinion. The ribs on the other hand were very good and the star of my lunch. The ribs are always naked sauce on the side so I can taste how good or bad they are. The sauce was ok but I didn't use much of it because the naked ribs can hold their own. The ribs were tasty and seasoned nicely fall off the bone tender/moist with a good smoke flavor and better than average. I'm a BBQ hound and I get Bbq all over the country and I have seen this so many times and it's just part of Bbq which doesn't necessarily affect the review. Lots of Bbq places have really great meats and average sides which is ok in my opinion because I'm there for the smoked meat. Overall I enjoyed my Bbq rib lunch and I'm very glad that they were my new restaurant of the week so I would definitely go back the smoked meats.

    I called ahead as my mom uses a walker and I wanted to be sure she could get into the restaurant. There's only one step in front and there is a path/ramp under the tent on the side. I was assured she could access the restaurant- not only that, they would set a table for 3 for us! When we arrived, the hostess and bartender met us at the front door and helped us in! Great customer service and we were off to a fabulous start! The food was delicious, we had pulled pork, sloppy Joe sandwich, and a tuna melt. Started off our dinner with onion strings and these were a generous portion. In fact, all of us had leftovers to take home! This day the restaurant had a fundraiser for a great cause, all proceeds from the carrot cake went to the cause. Omg, they should add the carrot cake to the menu- delicious! Thank you for your hospitality, kindness, we will return!

    Great gathering space!

Many of our guests were going up for seconds and told us how good the food was. We went with their burger and chicken bar and there was not only plenty of food but the set up and takedown process after the event was handled with great professionalism and timeliness. For our wedding reception we could not be happier with Saz's as well! All the staff were professional and the food was amazing. We decided to go with hand passed apps for cocktail hour, family style dinner, and then a late night nacho bar. Our family and friends were going on about how great the food was and how many options they had to choose from. We would definitely recommend Saz's for anyone with either small group catering needs or a larger event/wedding reception! Thank you Katie and the Saz's team!

The pulled pork was delish and even had burnt ends, the ribs were tender and perfectly smoky, and the baked beans with that peach bourbon twist and bacon were a huge hit. The mac & cheese was a crowd pleaser and exactly what you want at a family friendly celebration like this. Not only was the food amazing, but the whole experience was smooth and stress-free.

You get 2 pieces of fish, choice of potato, I got potato pancakes, coleslaw, cup of soup, bread, tartar sauce, lemon and I asked for applesauce for the potato pancakes. Something that has never happened here before is I had to go back as they forgot tarter sauce, lemon, coleslaw, butter for the bread and applesauce. By having to go back, my husband ate half of his sandwich, saved half for when I got back and we could somewhat eat together, so I never got a picture of his sandwich.
