What's Cooking?
Menu

Our barbecue is the result of passion-driven cooks who have spent years around the fire pits perfecting the meats. The same passion applies to the long list of side dishes and desserts, giving a grandma's kitchen flavor to the whole place. We share this experience with each guest and a simple nod of approval from a satisfied customer is what it's all about. Nearly all of our menu items are scratch-made in our kitchen on a daily basis. We invite you to join in the flavor revolution - from our rotating daily specials to the downright delicious classics - there is something for everyone.

"A Taste of Real BBQ"

This is a real taste of southern BBQ. There are very few places that get the right smoke and do not over sauce, but this is it. The pulled pork is the perfect combo of smoke and spices, then you get the sauce on the side and sauce it yourself. The brisket is as real as you can get. Great beef flavor. They take something very hard to make and deliver a great bite.

"Just for the BBQ"

It's all about the BBQ...Amongst us we tried the ribs, (excellent meaty and not dry at all), the pulled pork (well seasoned and delicious) the chicken and lentil soup (a perfectly balanced meal for a small appetite with lots of chicken bits and lentils), the collard green.

"The best ribs east of St Louis"

These people are professional and caring. The ribs were as good as the ones I got in St Louis. The pulled pork is delicious. The Blue Ribbon has a slot of sides to make the meal even more enjoyable. This is more of a take out place out place bit the food is still warm when I get home and wonderful.
