A new find in the Design Center, good for pre- or post-Giants games. Very nice people, very good BBQ, pretty good drinks. The sides were fine, but nothing special. Three of us shared the Smoke Buddy platter. Tons of food, we all took food home. Easy evening parking. Wish they were open Sundays for before or after a ballgame.

Such great service and food. Ambiance and noise level is an outlier I’m sure, as they were hosting an event half of the restaurant. Will def come back when I want a great bbq fix in the neighborhood.

Solid BBQ pork ribs and potato salad. Brisket sandwich was good, but the meat was sliced so thick it was difficult to eat. Sauces we all served on the side, which was preferable. Ample beer and other beverages.
