Our group of 16 ate here while on vacation. The food was delicious and we had nothing but good things to say about our experience. There were plenty of different menu options for people of all ages and the sauce varieties were fantastic. Claudia was our server and she gets a shout-out...she did great!!
Excellent pulled pork and ribs. Beans and cornbread great too. Sauces very tasty.???? Had a mix up with the bill but got it worked out ????

We visited recently for lunch with the intention of getting BBQ, when we noticed that they didn’t have a selection of different sauces we decided on the “Maryland Crab Cakes”. The restaurant was very clean and neat with nice decor suitable for a BBQ restaurant. Our server was very pleasant.
I had the crab cakes, baked beans and french fries. My fries were the best part of my meal. My wife’s meal was less enjoyable. We had a choice of “pan seared” or “deep fried” crab cakes, we both chose deep fried, and we both received pan seared, and our server didn’t know why.
But, to the “crab cakes”, these are not “Maryland Crab cakes”, as a matter of fact I wouldn’t refer to them as any kind of crab cakes. There was no crab taste at all. I know Maryland Crab cakes having lived in Maryland for a number of years and I still on occasion enjoy real crab cakes. These are not crab cakes.
We were very disappointed overall, having hoped to of found a place to get good crab cakes. This sadly is not the place.
I will add that I was very proud to see the American flag on display. ????????
BBQ was a 6/10. Definitely felt like it needed sauce to taste good but was tasteful. The prices on the menu did not match the price that was on the check. The waitress did fix but was not familiar with menu to realize the variation.
I have been here twice now. The first one was okay, but we weren't super happy with the sauces we chose. We went again last night and I got the ribs and tried the other sauces and was much happier with the food. My favorite thing was the setting. They have a nice back bar area with roll up doors and a large outdoor area. Overall, a nice experience. My only feedback would be to improve on the sauces which I think is really important at a BBQ joint.
