The setting is good if you are outside on a nice summer afternoon. The BBQ is ok at best. After trying it out twice, the family has decided that we have tried it enough.

Just fantastic! If you've never been there definitely build your own SOB. Give everything a try, you can't go wrong! Try all the sauces too, why not? Plus the price is very reasonable for the amount of meat you get. The outdoor seating area behind the restaurant has a very nice bar and a fun stage with dancing area for live music right on the river. You have to go here, don't miss out!

Excellent food. Friendly service. Good drink selection. Cozy, comfortable atmosphere. Need to return for the live music nights. Nice to be able to sit right on the river. Will definitely return and would bring friends and family next time.

I'm from cape Girardeau, MO, right between Memphis & Kansas City I have been in Chicago for 7 years & this is the first time I've had true Memphis style BBQ! Laid-back atmosphere, great food & great service. Thanks for making a home sick girl feel at home😁

Been here about a half dozen times and heres the break down 0-5 stars;
Food - 2 (below average)
Atmosphere - 5 (right on the river!)
Service - 0 (prepare to be ignored)
The outdoor seating by the river is what makes the place unique. Grab a table, a bucket of brew and enjoy the view.
