I now know what the human manifestation of a honey badger is after encountering the woman at the Road Hog register. Literally not one word spoken to me or the person in front of me. Just pointing. Though she spoke with her fellow workers. But quick service, and solid food. Brisket was tender, flavorful enough, sauce was solid, tots on the sammy remained crispy, slaw was good, big portion for $11. Felt that was fair pricing for the giving. The side of mac, though? Uh uh. $3 for a VERY small portion of Velvetta-style mac. I'd consider this an okay - though still small - portion at a street fare, or for delivery in NYC. Major rip off for this area of the country. Had it been that portion of baked mac with better cheeses, pricing would have been plenty fair. Definitely worth a try! Especially with them being a food truck that takes CC!

Really quite a surprising find. I am a big food truck and a big BBQ fan, so this caught my eye,…read moreduring my road trip home from Florida. The food truck looks brand new, very clean, organized, with an easy to read menu board - with some interesting and tasty combinations. I mean, a brisket sandwich with tots and 1000's sauce? What a great idea. Pulled chicken with Asian slaw and crispy wontons? Very creative. Plus - they take credit cards. I went for the pulled pork sandwich. Ample amount of pork, with tasty slaw that was well seasoned, with not too much mayo. The pickles and crispy fried onions were a nice complement. Not too much sauce on the pork, which was fine for me. The pork was well smoked, I did notice a nice smoke ring on it. Overall, worth the stop, I'll stop there again.

The ribs were my absolute favorite--delicious, tender, and flavorful without needing any sauce. I added sauce just for fun and fell in love with both the Carolina and Mild sauces (light and not too thick). The sweet sauce was okay, but the only item I couldn't eat was the potato salad. I liked the ribs so much that I went back 10 minutes later to grab an entire slab (I had only ordered three to start). The owner and the young lady at the register were friendly, and the restaurant was clean. While waiting for my food, I couldn't help but chuckle at the "thy shalt" and "thy shalt not" signs on the walls--definitely gave off a military or law enforcement vibe. This is officially my new go-to spot for ribs. The place is small with limited seating, but I'm perfectly happy eating in my car. It's worth the 90-minute drive for great BBQ. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem--they even offer catering!

You can get a whole meal including veg sides here and give a hot meal to your family. Not everything is to my taste. I don't care for the chicken. The ribs are very nice. The mashed potatoes and green beans are terrific. The food is plain but delicious. On some days, in front of the market, there is a pig roast dinner (whole roasted pork, shredded, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut and rolls plus homemade sauce.) The amounts are generous and very good. I don't like everything I've bought there but with time you'll find out which dishes are to your preference. Expect a wait and a line toward evenings, when people are picking up dinner for takeout.

Besides the typical BBQ items, they also offer fried chicken, grilled kielbasa, and steak fries. What we prefer to do is to pick up their plain fried wings, and toss it to our own sauce to our liking. You'll have to plan your trip though, as they're only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Also, be patient, as there's typically a line waiting to be served.

We sat in addition where it was rather loud due to 5 kids at one table with their parents, and another party of 12 in there. The acoustics aren't terrific. Didn't ruin the experience, but just know in case you are sensitive to noise. Ask to sit in other areas. Very friendly employees! From the moment you step in. Hostess was nice and our server was terrific (shout out to Riley). She kept checking in on us and made sure that we had all that we needed. We ordered a margarita and I wouldn't recommend this at all. It tasted like lemonade and a some tequila. They also put sugar on the rim. It was subpar to say the least. It was nothing as described on the menu (fresh squeezed lime juice). We ordered the fried pickles for an app and I highly recommend them. The sauce that is served with them is great! For entrees, we ordered the Bone & Butt (ribs w/pulled pork) with a side of baked beans and a burnt ends meal with sweet potato fries. The ribs and pulled pork were absolutely great! Even the burnt ends were good too. However, I do like super wet sauces and they do come drenched in BBQ sauce. That was a me problem as I should have asked and I forgot. I should have ordered them plain. The corn bread was okay. We asked for butter for that. The fries were fabulous. The baked beans equally as good. There are two different sauces on the table for you to put all over the things. You can tell that they are making these things in house and take great care to make sure that they are good quality. The portions are terrific and the prices super reasonable. They have an extensive dessert menu. We didn't order as couldn't fit anything else. We even had to take to go boxes. This is located near Great Wolf Lodge! If you are staying there, this is super close and worth the drive. It's also not far off of 95 so if you are in the area swing by - worth the drive off of 95 (not far at all). Would for sure come again! Very tasty.

When it arrived it only came with the sandwich, you have to order everything else separately. When I opened the container it looked nice, however, it looked like catchup was sitting on top.

Im not talking room temp I'm talking cold and the sauce tasted like catchup that had vinager added to it, just not good. They didnt even take time to toast the bread so once they put it on top of the cold meat it was dry. Overal this place was a fail.

I decided to try Uncle Johns because another place that I wanted to get food from wasn't open. I had the brisket plate for take out so I can eat it for lunch on my break time at work. The brisket was pretty good, tender some and with the added bbq sauce gave it good flavor and enjoyable to eat. My side with the plate was the potato salad. Pretty good as well, very homemade and enjoyable as well. It also came with cornbread. Now the cornbread was absolutely amazing and probably one of the best I ever had. The sweetness of the cornbread was just right and perfect. For desert, I added the peach cobbler which was also delicious. Great service as well.
