Delicious barbecue in a hidden gem! I ordered a pound of ribs accompanied by potato salad and unsweetened tea. The ribs were fantastic—very tender and flavorful. The potato salad was also quite good. Their barbecue sauce was tasty as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal. The staff was very helpful, especially since it was my first visit. I had asked a deputy sheriff for a good barbecue recommendation, and he suggested Craig's! He was spot on!
We've been coming to Craig's for several years now, and we always get the ribs. Once I find something I love at a restaurant, it's hard to order something else. The ribs are great ! They give you plenty of extra sauce which is sweet and a little spicy. Fried pickles, and beans are good. This is a local family business. Craig, and his wife run the place, and their son is there sometimes too. I highly recommend you try the ribs if you haven't yet !
Any chance I get, I love to get the Loaded Potatoe, great portions (I can't eat it all) and it is delicious the service is great. if you are in the area DEFINATELY give this place a try!
One of the best dining experiences I've had in quite some time! They use genuinely fresh ingredients, and it really shows in the flavors. Everything our group ordered was fantastic and definitely worth the wait! I highly recommend checking it out if you appreciate quality food over frozen, processed options.
