The service wasn't bad, nice waitress helped us try the different sauces first without charging and our drinks were pretty well filled. Ambiance wasn't bad, but one of the tables (the one we were at) was next to a door/wall with chalkboard paint, and a kid came over and started to draw with chalk basically over our food and this went on for a few minutes at least before a parent paid for their meals and took the kid. Overall, not coming back mainly due to the food. Obi didn't look like he was around, and that's probably why the place gone downhill.

Upon pulling up, they have an outdoor space with music and games as well as an indoor space. We chose to sit indoors and had the best server. All the staff was so friendly. My husband was immediately drawn to their bourbon selection. He said they have some that you just can't buy anywhere. As far as the BBQ, it was pretty good. I have high standards after living in the KC area for a few years. Ordered the brisket, lean trimmed and ribs. Used the sweet sauce and both meats were good. The hubs said the e cornbread was outstanding. I had the fried biscuits and apple butter. YUMMY!! This is worth the drive to Pendleton. We will definitely be back!

Pulled meats…read moreand brisket with sides are ready just as quickly as any fast food place you can find, but with cozy log cabin vibes and the smell of bbq smoke infusing your hair and clothes as you dine. We ordered: Pulled Pork Piglet Sandwich w/ Green Beans, Cole Slaw, & Sweet Tea $10.75 ($11.61 w/ 8% tax, $13.22 w/ 15% tip) *Lighter and more mild flavors in all of these Beef Brisket Piglet Sandwich w/ Corn Casserole, Mashed Potatoes w/ Beef Gravy, & Lemonade (same prices as above) *All of these were favorites and the most flavorful of the day The food was ready in under 6min after ordering and we were in and out in under 30min while sitting down for lunch and taking our time to eat around noon on a Friday. If you're unsure of the spicy, they have spicy sauce on the table to try, but I'll say it was a mild spice (Indiana doesn't do lots of spicy things) so the heat doesn't rise above red pepper flake spice. You could add more heat with Tabasco to get it to a spice that makes the tongue actually feel hot. The ladies running the kitchen and clean up were fun and delightful and made us feel like we were home in someone's house being taken care of. Not sure when I'll ever be back in this area, but worth a stop and skipping all the other fast food nearby to try this local spot!!

I am shocked that a small Midwest town in Indiana near the Ohio border had such phenomenal BBQ!…read more I have made 2 visits and both of them have been exceptional! My first visit, I chose the Barnyard Burner Burger special. It came with pulled pork, spicy BBQ sauce, and cheese. But what was amazing about the burger was how soft, fresh, and smoky the hamburger meat was! I hadn't had a burger like this in years! I even liked it more than the BBQ, which if you follow my Yelp...that is very high praise! This week, I had the pulled pork and brisket with potato salad and beans. All phenomenal! The pulled pork is perfectly tender and smoky! I liked the pork more than the brisket but the brisket is 4 stars on its own. The potato salad has a lightly sweet mustard base to it with some eggs and relish mixed in. I enjoyed the beans more than the potato salad as the beans were in some kind of sweet and smoky conglomeration made in the back with brown sugar as a key ingredient. There are 4 sauces and I usually try to rank sauces, but I couldn't do it with these. They are all worthy on their own merit. The four sauces and a brief description are: Classic - mildly sweet tomato with a little pepper Sweet and Smoky - very sweet with a smoky taste and ketchup base Tangy - part vinegar, part tomato, all tangy Sue Tang - spicy mild to medium BBQ sauce, tomato base The one downside and it's common being a Southerner in the Mid-West is there is usually no sweet tea and if there is, it isn't sweet enough. They told me their tea maker was broke but there is a Kroger that has Milo's Sweet Tea that I have been allowed to carry in both times. Make a trip to Bluffton for Yergy's BBQ or Burgers. They are only open Thursday-Sunday.

We got pulled pork, sausage, and brisket. It came with two sides. We got the green beans and pasta salad. It was $28.75. Your meal comes with free cheddar garlic biscuits with a side of apple butter. The pulled pork with some of the best we have ever had. The brisket was good as well, flavored nicely. We received three large pieces, however, there was quite a bit of fat on the pieces. We received two sausage links. The sausage was slightly spicy, which we like. However, of the three meats it was our least favorite. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended the green beans. Her description of them was right on target and they were very good. Service was very fast and our bill was accurate. They are first come, first serve, and do not accept reservations. We would return again.

Hubby and I ordered a meal for two and it came with your choice of 2 meats plus ribs, and 2 sides along with bread rolls, and pickled veggies. We decided on the pulled chicken, brisket, ribs, with sides of Mac n cheese and bbq beans. Everything was delicious and very filling. Kinda sad that I didn't get to order dessert as we decided too late and didn't want to get back in line. Restaurant is set up where you're in line to place your order and pick up your order at the other counter. Line can get a little long but it goes by pretty fast. You then seat yourself and all the condiments, sauce, and drinks are all at different stations for self serve. There are plenty of seats inside and even a bar inside the restaurant. Very casual and kid friendly atmosphere.

Service: Service here has always been great, Ben is super friendly and usually comes out to talk with everyone in line. Cost: Average price for BBQ in this area. Overall: Good bbq, only open Fri-Sun and they tend to sell out quickly on nice days so best bet is to pre-order if you know you want bbq ahead of time or be like me and just show up like 15 minutes before they open and hope they still have what you want when you get to the front.

We went back Sunday and was able to get 1/2 lb of pulled pork and 1/2 lb of brisket...it was worth the wait. Ben is the friendliest, nicest guy you could meet. You can tell he really cares about his customers and the food. The pulled pork is seasoned so well, so tender, not too fatty and the sauce is very flavorful. The beans and slaw are killer. All around, a fantastic experience. The building itself tells you all you need to know- small business that closes when they sell out. No frills, just dang good BBQ.
