“ Kind of expected to be served like a restaurant but this place is order at the counter and they call you when its ready and you seat yourself. Not what i expected but I'm definitely coming back, great food and lots of it for the price. ”
“ Great bbq flavors at reasonable prices for the area. Modestly stocked full liquor bar with a few beers on draft. The chili was really unique with big chunks of bbq meat in a somewhat liqueous base (with beans) that I would classify as almost like a ragout. The BBQ combo was also tasty & generously portioned. I found the overall meal very good, but the brisket was a little too fatty for my liking. The chicken thighs were spot on. They had several bbq sauce options, jalapenos and other condiments that let you customize the flavors. For sides we enjoyed a well prepared portion of collard greens, which were a great authentic veggie option to go along with the irresistible classic mac & cheese. Friendly bartenders and staff, with a cool local vibe. ”
“ This place is hands down the Best BBQ joint in South Lake! If your in the area you must give this place a try you wont go wrong the food melts in your mouth with exploding great flavor! ”
“ Only stopped for drinks, but great happy hour here! Plentiful selection of well drinks and tap beers. Bartender was nice. Indoor and outdoor seating depending on your preference. Short walking distance from Tahoe Resort and Hotel. ”
“ THE Best BBQ Ribs my family and I have ever had, and my brother is a chef. Really good quality meats. Sides could use improvement, but that’s not what you’re here for. Incredibly flavorful and loose ribs. Great job. ”
“ One of the Best place for BBQ. We ordered the 4 items combo...Brisket, pull pork, ribs, and chicken with 2 sides: Vinegar Cole Slaw, Macaroni & cheese. All were well made and were very delicious. ”
“ This place was the bomb! Very southern atmosphere. The service was great and the food amazing. The Mac & Cheese bowls were great (not too cheesy but still creamy), and the ribs were fantastic (full rack, baby!). Will definitely go there again next time I'm in South Lake Tahoe. They also have a pretty good selection of beer. ”
“ Amazing brisket and baby back ribs! The prices are quite fair and everything we ordered was great. We got the combo meals with brisket, baby back ribs, and chicken thighs. Their Mac and cheese were also very tasty. They have great hospitality and service. It was busting. Factual. ”
