As always, Pulled pork sandwiches on the chabatta rolls, good choice. Corn bread On the side complements the pork. Chicken wings were cooked perfectly. Love French fries on the side, nice and crispy. Doesn't get any better ??

Great ribs sides. New outside redo that looks super. Inside could use a little freshening up too. Short staff but you'd never know it because they work so hard. Overall, great

Al-E-Oops is a fantastic barbeque restaurant. I loved their ribs the most. Besides barbecue, I think the place is alright. The potato dishes aren't the best. The place seemed short staffed, but everyone was very friendly.

We left Darien Lake and just happened to see this BBQ restaurant. We decided to pull in and try. 10 thumbs up. Wait staff were so nice. The corn bread, OMG I so could have eaten a whole pan lol. I had the pulled pork platter. I highly recommend. Myhusband had the full rack of ribs, they fell off the bone. So amazing. If you are looking for a good BQQ meal stop into thisplace. You will not be sorry.

Absolutely AMAZING. We came here with our children, and the staff/atmosphere are so welcoming. They were patient and kind to our kids which isn't something you always experience going out with young ones. We got an appetizer, kids meals, and 2 entrees.Everything was phenomenal. Best BBQ/smoked place we have been to in quite some time. Everything was reasonably priced as well, Ihighly reccomend!! They also served corn bread and warm bread and butter which delicious. We will be back, sooner than weprobably should lol but we have to bring some family here because we know they will love it. We tried 4 different types of meatand all were cooked perfectly. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! ????

We were here at Al E Oops yesterday with another couple. There were already a party of 9 there so loud, we felt our eardrums would pop. When we asked the waitress if we could move, she seemed annoyed . But we moved anyway. The acoustics were terrible and magnified every sound. The bench seats were so low compared to the table that a short person would have a hard time sitting in them. I guess the place was remodeled by a tall person. Then when we placed our order the waitress who looked about 80 took our order. We asked her to split the bill for 2 couples. She said that she couldn't do that without adding a surcharge. Never heard that one before . But she finally did split the bill for 2 couples but was annoyed doing it. Then a man plopped some bread and cornbread on the table and didn't even speak. The food wasn't too bad. The spare ribs melted off the bone but the sauce they use was a little spicy, but still good. The rest of the meal was good. But nothing that wowed me! Anyway, we won't be going back there again. Especially when the staff makes customers feel unwelcome or like we were bothering them.

Good food. TERRIBLE service. We ordered and received our food. The wait staff person did not check on us at all. The order was wrong. When she showed up she did not apologize. Will not go back.

Food quality has diminished over the years. The wait for food was long although only a few customers were there.

Food was very hot and packed with flavor. The sever was friendly and had great suggestions on parting items. The atmosphere was coozy and modern. Chef visited the table and made small talk which never happens anymore. Was a life changing experience I would recommend to anyone.

Great place for BBQ which is the focus. Ribs are a must try. Cornbread is a little crumbly but tasty. Sauce comes in different heat levels. Salted...

The first time this restaurant tries and from the moment we went to the service was excellent. Our server was super friendly and brought bread and corn bread before we ordered and the menu was quite large. We ordered the two entrées of the sampler BBQ Platter with Ribs, Pulled Pork and Chicken and Haddock Fish Fry. The ribs were dropped off the bone, but the pulled pig and chicken was a bit dry. The Haddock was not as crispy as I wanted, it was good, but nothing to write at home. The prices are also reasonable so if you are in the area and are looking for some BBQ, this could be the place for you, but I would not go out to check it.

Here for the first time for years... our server was absolutely fantastic! It was amazing to learn that she worked there for 37 years. This alone should really tell you about this place. Dinner began with a plate of bread and corn bread. The bread was good. I'm not too big on maize bread, but it was surprisingly really good. I ordered the Hickory House Barbecue Sampler. It consisted of 3 meat choices, Coleslaw, beans and potato choice. I chose the double-baked potato. That was a great note for another side part. The chicken was good... the pulled pig was better (although I think it would have been a little longer to make it tenderer)... Oh, those ribs? That should die! They fell from the bones and the flesh melted right in my mouth!

Large small town vintage restaurant with a beautiful bar area separated from old style wood dining tables, some chair and stand seats. Waitresses were pleasant to our 9th party refreshments and food came in a timely matter. Comfortable and quiet dinning. Good for the family or a casual date. Variety in the menu to fit any mood and the food is very good.

Absolutely. We came here with our children, and the staff/the atmosphere is so welcoming. They were patient and friendly to our children, which is not something you always experience to go with young people. We have an appetizer, children's dishes and two entrees. Everything was phenomenal. Best BBQ / Smooth Place where we have been for some time. Everything was also cheap, I am very grateful!! They also served maize bread and warm bread and butter, which are delicious. We'll be back sooner than we probably should lol, but we need to bring some family here because we know they'll love it. We tried 4 different types of meat and all were perfectly cooked. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.

The food was actually quite good. The ribs are amazing and I'm not sure if they have a house bbq sauce, but that was good as well. The service did a great job even though they were extremely short handed. Go here, sit down and have a drink but please be patient. You won't be disappointed!

It is not the chic Highness Toity Square in the city, it is easy to cook at home well. Love the pork ribs most OMG!!! Drive there early on Friday or Saturday (before 17:00), but definitely worth waiting when you come there later. The back atmosphere is a beautiful touch. Good service, child-friendly, large grill.
