Visiting my folks in Gary and decided to have lunch and found this spot. It smelled good from the…read moreWalmart parking lot so I thought I would try. First off the prices are ridiculous. 41 bucks for a rib tip dinner is outrageous. I witnessed a girl who's order was 63 dollars and she walked out on a pre order. Can't say that I blame her. The food is decent at best. Served hot and a lot of it but you can find better for cheaper in the area. The sauce was tangy/spicy and tastes ok. Everyone who walked in after me while I ate cringed at the prices. A few walked out. This place needs to adjust their prices before they continue to lose business. This is fast food. Not gourmet.

Let's start with the good!…read more I really want to like this place because it's very close to my home. I usually go to a spot in IN bit decided to try this place on the way home from work. I ordered 2 small tips which came to about $18.00 dollars. I called the order in and waited about 5 mins after I arrived for it to be ready. The sauce was good, the meat is seasoned well and the staff greeted me when I walked in. The bad The some of the meat was tough. It was hard to chew. I shared some with my kid and she didn't want it because it was hard to chew. Hopefully if I decide to give them another shot in the future their meat is tender.

I ordered a Delivery Order from here and was pleasantly surprised. I must say I have been looking…read morefor Fried Okra everywhere and this was some of the BEST I've ever had!!! I would have given 5 stars, but my order was missing bread and cole slaw. Otherwise, the fries were crisp and there were a LOT of them. The Okra tasted great and wasn't greasy. The Pork Tips and Links were tasty...the pork was the best actually. I thought the beef links were tough. This was the combo I ordered and I couldn't locate my photos of the food...or else I would post it here.

I got some catfish nuggets and they were kind of fishy. I know fish is smelly but it's not always…read morefishy okay!! The rib tips were good and so were the honey biscuits. You can tell he puts work into his food! I wasn't a big fan of the sausage. I bet you their wings are really good. Def come for lunch they have specials ! Everybody was really nice and accommodating. It is made fresh to order so you have to wait but everything's hot when you get it though!

I had a half slab with mild sauce. The ribs were not meaty and did not taste smoked. They taste…read morelike they were baked with good barbecue sauce. I don't understand, because there is a smoke pit in the store??? The sauce and the fries were good. Yet, I paid $20 for ribs that were such a disappointment! I can't wait till the weather is warmer to smoke my own ribs!

Extremely expensive. Food definitely not worth the price. Basic BBQ and Basic Sauce. I don't know…read morehow they stay open with those prices, probably due to the accessibility of BBQ in that area. Very overpriced for Met that Barely tastes like BBQ and dried up sides. I've never even seen French Fries so Small. They need to go to I 57 and see what Real BBQ tastes like.

I've ordered twice from here and it really should have been one time. Not only is food extremely…read moreoverpriced, but it's under seasoned and the portion sizes for the price are absurd. The Management as well as general staff seem to not enjoy their work at all and it comes through and the level of poor service. Expect to wait an extremely long time and to be met with an attitude, even if you're ordering food to go. They consistently run out of food which is why I've only ordered there twice out of the four times I've tried to be a customer here. If it wasn't for the fact that this location used to be an Applebee's, I'm not sure how they would stay in business. The space itself is good for performances, which speaks to ambience. If you're not there for live music, don't waste your time trying to grab a meal. It's a shame.

Here I am again...... my husband surprised me with a bucket of tips Friday afternoon...March 20TH…read moreas my previous experience was horrible, hoping they had improved yet I am STILL disappointed! Small, tiny scraps of meat hiding halfway through the bottom of the bucket with a few recognizable rib tips at the top. The slithers and scraps were old, burnt, and tough. I give up.... go at your own risk....here are a few pics!

We used to love to go to Kirks BBQ for their ribs. The slab was an actual slab, not like now it's…read morenot even a full slab and they'd like to give you those hard to chew small ends .They're always season so good we never get sauce. However this is the second time we went for lunch and the ribs were last night's ribs. If you know food, you can tell when they're old these were old and dry and wasted $35. I should've took a picture for now on that's what I'll do and I will make sure they show me my food before they close it up and bag it and that's everywhere from now on

This place needs a refresh. I'm not sure how the owners could justify not keeping things like…read moreupholstery fixed. It's ghetto. Yes, they are trying for southern charm but the basics cannot be overlooked. The additional charges for things is ridiculous. When I walked in the door, it wasn't a hello, I was greated with do you know our polices. See yellow sign in photos. Charges, for evrything. Look at the menu, extra charges for small items. I tried to order the chicken dinner and was told they do not cook it on Sundays. Only wings on Sunday? WHAT? Isn't Sundays when people come for a family dinner? The service level was nice at the table, so I had no problem with the mandatory 18% added to the bill. She was polite and nice and earned her tip. I actually gave her additional money. The ambiance is noisey. Be prepared to talk little louder than normal. The activity level makes it noisey. I've tried this place twice, I think that's a wrap. No more.
