First impressions are important, and this place nails it as soon as you walk in. Great atmosphere, incredible BBQ aroma, friendly staff. Did the ribs/ pork/ wings combo. Excellent!

The rib special for 2 is a great deal. 4 sides and a full rack for $30? Sold.

Food was brought out quickly, but brisket very fatty (avoid), ribs and pulled pork were very good (recommend). For sides, ac & cheese was best, avoid the chili. Rochester/Syracuse locations are better

Actually the wings are awesome. As well as the brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Its how bbq is done. Good riddance to Famous Daves and Smokey Bones. There simply is no other.

Love it!! It's so good. The fried green tomatoes are the best, mouth watering pulled pork and ribs and they smoke the wings! Plus they have a take out counter!

Buffalo wings in Buffalo (the birthplace of the Buffalo wing) are just called wings. And they're phenomenal.

The food was really good, everyone in my group enjoyed their food and we all had different things. There are more options for good sides than we were expecting.

A superlative, all-American barbecue place, featuring delicious grilled meats and an impressive array of draft beers and ales.

The ribs and brisket were amazing!! I love the habanero bbq sauce on the table...nachos were great too!

Save your indecision, and order the Family Stylin' (or two) for the table. You'll just have to pick some sides.

Awesome barbecue. Try the wango tango sauce and the charred corn!

The poutine fries were great
Kurt KlueverJune 17, 2014
Not as good as the Rochester location. Avoid the one eyed brisket hash (pretty gross). Just stick with the pulled pork or ribs.
