Stopped in after a sporting event at local high school. Quaint little restaurant. It wasn't too crowded, so we were seated immediately. Server was very polite and responsive. I ordered the brisket with baked beans and fries as my sides. Portions were very large, I was quite pleased with the amount of food that came with the platter. The brisket was moist and tender with a very nice smoke ring. Others in our party ordered dry rub wings and a Mofo sandwich. We were all more than happy with our meals.

Simply put its been our favorite BBQ place for years. Every time we are out in Frederick we hit one. Finally hit the Urbana store. Great smoked food. Sweet potatoes. Almost everything is gluten free

Nice surprise!! I enjoyed the Gumbo, cornbread and sweet potatoes. My husband had the 3 meat Mofo sandwich and fresh cut french fries. Stopped during our travels and will for sure stop here again, delicious!!

I loved it! Their BBQ is great! Order: Texas-style beef brisket (excellent!), Memphis Ribs (excellent!), Sausage (tasty), baked beans (pretty good), potato salad (excellent!), and candied sweet potatoes (excellent!). All of their BBQ meats are gluten-free as well as some of their sides. Call or go in person to hear/see the gluten free menu because (as of May 2025) they do not have the GF items marked on their website or online menus.

Our favorite local BBQ spot. Brenda is one of our favorite bartenders/servers and makes fantastic mixed drinks (the "hog wild" and "punch drunk" are our personal favorites). Everything on the menu is stellar, and the sides are just as good as the meats. We cannot stress enough how good the "Josh's Pork Fries" are, they can be a meal on their own! It's a great, not terribly expensive spot with excellent folks and excellent food!

Good food and atmosphere. Very small seating area though. Not ideal for large parties.
