    This is a hidden gem in KC! The chopped beef special was fantastic. The sauce is not sweet at all (which I like) and had a small kick to it. Atmosphere makes you feel like you're in an old cabin, exactly what I want from a BBQ place. Great service, great food, decent pricing. I'll be eating here many more times.

    Asked for a recommendation for what to get and was not disappointed. The food was excellent, and it came out quickly as well.

    Superb off the beaten path BBQ joint. I had the lunch special rib tips, which were tender and juicy. Pickles and bread was a nice touch. Cole slaw was spot on. I'd like to come back and try more stuff. 2 thumbs Highly recommended
