“ I had a great time here! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch their name, but earlier tonight I had the bartender w/ glasses and dark curly w/ blonde highlights & a septum ring, they were really fantastic!! Super friendly and quick! They were awesome and I would definitely take a seat at the bar again thanks to their amazing customer service towards me & my friends 10/10, will be going back for sure! ”
“ Came to this place wanting BBQ after a long day of exploring a national park. Man this place definitely hit the spot we came here during lunchtime and it was not crowded. We were seated right away and our server was super helpful. For starters we had the most delicious burnt ends in Gainesville. The meat was juicy. And for my entree I had the Two-Meat Combo which consisted of The Texas Hot Links and the Pulled Pork Shoulder accompanied by a side of sweet mashed potatoes and smoked yellow corn and I got that with a slice of toast. My father got the Beef Brisket with a side french fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw wasn’t the best but our waitress was able to switch it out for some smacking mac & cheese. The restaurant itself was clean and I liked the industrial interior. ”
“ I opted for a take out of Brunswick Stew & am extremely impressed! The young man who took my order was so helpful he even brought my order out to my car because parking was at a premium. So thankful to him, I think his name was Dylan but I'm not sure. The stew was perfect, just the right amount of heat & every bite was delightful! I will definitely be back & suggest you give it a try, it's totally worth it! ”
“ Been here several times and always pleased. Tonight I had the “veggie plate” and honestly the flavor and quality is very good for things like the Brunswick stew and the Mac and cheese (excellent!) and sweet potatoes. Although the place is not always packed and parking not always convenient - it does have excellent quality food a great selection of beers on tap and bourbon and .. just good. ”
“ O!M!G!!!!! I am SO glad we found this place! We were in town for the drag race, but there was a rain delay....Jimmy was our server. He was EXCELLENT!! He gave recommendations and even brought a sample of the Brunswick stew for me. (WHICH WAS FANTASTIC!!) The sweet tea is REAL sweet tea, not the watered-down version you mostly get down here. I haven't found Brunswick stew down here, and when I saw it on the menu, I had to have it! It was SO GOOD!!! The cornbread....is TOO good. My husband got the 3 item combo. The brisket was amazing! The pulled pork....SO GOOD!! And the chicken...good grief. We left the restaurant SO full that we almost had to take a NAP before we went back! I'm telling you, THIS place is an ABSOLUTE MUST TRY if you're in the area!!! ”

Everything that we ordered was perfectly seasoned and really delicious. I definitely recommend the catfish platter. Very good selection of sides and a wonderful choices on the whole menu. ”
“ Great place for a Southern BBQ experience, a BBQ gem in Gainesville. We ordered fried pickles to get in the mood followed by two pork dishes a North Carolina pork and the Pork Shoulder Pulled Pork. Very good taste and the sauces come on the side so you can get as much or little as you want. Definitely recommended and will come again to try other items on the menu. ”
