So we ordered a few things that she highlighted and wow wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Spent just over $30 for 3 meats (incredibly small servings) 2 sides, only thing that was hot was the Mac Cheese. The Mac Cheese didn't even taste like anything, paid an extra $1 for brisket which was not only at most lukewarm but super dry (had to chase with beer), the thin ribs were so dry and the chicken was a little I mean little juicy (compared to the others, didn't take much) but no smoke note and the skin wasn't even crispy. The only thing that truly looked like it had a smoke ring was the brisket. The fries were anything but crispy, they were cold and soggy. It honestly felt like I was served food that was maybe 2-3 days old. Not a place that I'd recommend Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–40 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Full slab rib plate juicy tender ribs with really sensational seasoning and light sauce. Love the house bbq sauce our order came with. Basket of cornbread really dense cornbread which is unusual but I like the taste and texture. THREE meats pulled pork melts like butter in your mouth so moist. 1/4 BBQ chicken leg nicely done Smoked sausage a nice option. Handcut fries I wouldn't say I'm a fan, these were too mushy for me. Large potato salad yes go for this all the way! It was a really nice side. Lots of onions though so if you don't like that well too bad. TWO meats Beef Brisket falling apart so delicate and good 1/4 BBQ chicken breast again nicely done Large Mac n Cheese a little spice hit I enjoyed but the kids didn't like it. Orders online and it was done right on time for pickup. Noticed a few seats inside. Dark interior vibes.

Was ready ontime. Cornbread was delicious. Brisket was dry but super tender. Chicken breast was not as good as chicken leg. Pulled pork was good but also needs sauce which was fine as they gave a Ton of great BBQ sauces on the side. Ribs were 10/10 so tender, and flavorful. Overall super happy with the food, portion, and price.

The ribs is dry and brisket is insanely dry, just look at the picture, the brisket is in grains when touch, and the moment you chew it would stuck to your tooth. At least they are self aware enough to provide toothpicks on the table. I'm just speechless with the quality of the food, I smoke brisket myself and brisket is somewhat forgiving to cook, you can mess up pretty hard and the meat will still somewhat be juicy, I just curious who's behind that kitchen and how can you smoke your brisket and make it the moment you touch it turn to grains. They are on another level of bad, I would not serve this brisket to my worst enemy if I'm the chief.

The pulled pork sandwich was dry, and the meat plates (with beef brisket, German sausage, and ribs) had brittle meat that seemed reheated. The fries were regular bar style with skins, and the mac n cheese was creamy but overwhelmed with black pepper. The portion sizes were small, and the honey mustard and BBQ sauce were not up to par. The ambiance was also lacking, with food served on trays reminiscent of a school cafeteria. The presentation was subpar, with meat placed on sheets of paper and wooden tables and chairs that were not well maintained. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations for a restaurant in Halifax.

They know how to get the seasoning right and how to cook them perfectly. Pork Brisket was melting in my mouth and the Chicken leg was delicious grilled. The Ribs was smoked fine and the sides were great too. Poutine is excellent along with Mac and Cheese. Coleslaw was fresh. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service was quick. The place was full and buzzing. Value for money. We'll definitely go again.

Cute small-time family atmosphere. Max seating for the restaurant seems to be about 20. Prices are reasonable. I had the brisket, rib and sausage plate which came with a mountain of French fries (seem to be a staple here and ordered Cole slaw and potatoe salad as a side. (Planning to take home for snacking later. Cost was about $18CA/pp. The brisket was great, more moist than lean which is just the way I like it. Being from South Texas the sausage wasn't as hardy and spicy as I'm used to but still good and tasty in its own right. There were three sauces on the table; a hearty, a sweet and spicy and a mustard. I passed on the mustard but the other two were very tasty although I would consider neither to be spicy or hot. Again, that opinion is based on my South Texas taste buds. All in all a good little eatery that I won't hesitate to visit again when in Halifax.

Sauces were delicious (especially the gravy), tasty cornbread and coleslaw. They forgot several components of our order, which we checked before we left. They were apologetic, but just FYI to check your takeout bag before you leave.

The order was ready in less than 8 minutes, is this fast food?I even couldn’t finish the pulled pork sandwich due to how dry it was. The sandwich bun and fries was alright tho.Not a truly authentic BBQ experience.

When our food was done (very quickly I might add), the employee at the cash took the time to deliver it to us outside. The...prices were fair and the food was scrumptious and well cooked/spiced. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, this restaurant is for you (unless you’re vegetarian/vegan).
