Terry M.Terry M: Heavenly ribs, very good brisket, moist smoked chicken...but my favorite has become the hot links. Fried corn is a must-have side.

Max W.Max Wenneker: Ribs are fantastic. Been here probably five times and never had a bad meal. Line can be long but it moves very fast and there are always exactly enough seats.

Bert I.Bert Irslinger: Ribs, ribs, ribs! We've only tried the dry rub so far, and these were as good as it gets. Be prepared to wait in line, but it is well worth it. We'll be back!
