(Two of which I was interested in) I had the brisket and pork shoulder and both were good. The sides were good to though all portion sizes were very controlled. Their Bourbon drink special may have been my favorite item of the evening! For the food portions v. the price, there is better out there but the food truely wasn't bad at all and I would consider going back.

I regularly stop by when in the area, usually for take-out, although we ate in the restaurant on our latest stop. The selection of drinks--both soft and alcoholic--is limited, but adequate to match the food. Not too much room inside, particularly in these socially-distanced times, but there is also seating outside, and a very nice public spot across the street, where you can park and eat take-out at a picnic table overlooking the Peconic River--which is what we usually do. Service is friendly and good. The food isn't inexpensive--expect to pay about $10 or a little more for a sandwich--but the quality is good enough that it's worth the price.

As far as bbq, I found the chicken to be non-descript, the burnt ends average. The pork however was very good. As noted, the tacos were very flavorful.

I am originally from Alabama and I have not had barbecue like this in a very long time since being home. The Pulled pork was stellar and even the chicken with the white sauce what is far beyond anything I thought it would be! To be honest this macaroni and cheese taste just like my grandmothers back in Bama. We will for sure be back because of the food but not only the food, but the waitress Alice was so beyond accommodating and kind she made us feel so welcome and taken care of, this restaurant really made A lasting impression and I’m happy we tried it out!
