First time eating here so I got the BBQ Sunday. The beans, and rib were good. The Mac and cheese was not what I expected. It tasted like it came from a box. Not cheesy enough, it tasted more like a thickener of flour and milk. The shredded pork was okay kinda bland and too wet for me. The one rib was good.My husband ordered the Texas dip sandwich. The au jus was so salty that he couldn't eat. The rest of the sandwich was good. He also ordered a side of potato salad which has no frills, tastes just like Reese potato salad that you get from the grocery store. We were very disappointed for the price you pay. We will never go back.Sorry no pictures.

The interior was rustic and roomy. There was a fire going on outside in a fire pit. That added to the overall cold, Minnesota country vibe. I loved the bbq ribs. There was a nice crunchy exterior when I bit into the juicy ribs that gave it interesting texture. The beef brisket was on the dry side. The exterior could use more crunch and maybe coat it in peppercorn. They offered 3 different kinds of BBQ sauce. I mixed the first and second one for a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and spicy. Service was excellent. The bread the meal came with looked plain but was soft, buttery and thick, which I loved. The coleslaw was overdressed in my opinion. The sweet potato fries were good.Overall, I loved the ambiance, service and it was decently good BBQ for the area.

I had some awesome leftover brisket from this place and had to come see for myself. It was pretty busy so we had to wait 15 minutes to get seated which is a good sign. It's a pretty spacious place with lots of TVs. We ordered the ribs, baked beans and pork belly burnt ends. Overall really solid bbq because everything was on point.

Bbq is suppose to have nice spice rubs. But they overdo it. I think someone made a mistake on mixing together the rub. Did take out with 3 kinds of meat, some beans and Cole slaw. North of $100 . Got home and tried the ribs first. My mouth stung from the heat. The brisket wasn't much better.

Love this place! Probably the best BBQ food I've ever had. Personally I gravitate towards their Tex-Mex offerings, with my favorite being their Meat and Mac burrito. The service is always friendly and efficient, although since they don't take reservations it can sometimes be a very long wait for a table. Their interior ambience is nice, feels a little bit like a Famous Dave's but better. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for some small town vibes with excellent flavor!

Nice BBQ joint with great food. A bit far if you're not local to Hanover, but worth the drive. Their pork belly burnt ends are incredibly juicy, flavorful, and tender. It's like grown-ups candy! Balance things out with some roasted Brussels sprouts and you get your veggies in. Nicely cooked, well seasoned, with a slight char to enhance the seasoning. The pulled pork is tender and juicy; however, the ribs could be a little more tender -- not quite fall-of-the-bone tender. Service is great with friendly staff, but wait times can be a bit long if they're busy -- there's plenty of seating both inside and outside at their patio, so it can affect service speed and bit. Please visit their socials before driving there, especially in the summertime, as they often hold events during weekdays that PACK the place. Overall a nice alternative, with a nice rustic feel, with tasty smoked meats, and reasonable prices.
