I called on the phone to ask questions about this place and was greeted by one of the friendliest, most helpful person’s I have encountered. I found out later this is the owner. The food is good with many options. The only surprise was the corn muffins. They are mini’s and a bit dry. I highly recommend the breaded wings with barbecue sauce. Please try this restaurant and you shouldn’t be disappointed.

As a traveling Texan I can tell you this BBQ Rocks...great Ribs (and the Turkey, too, which wouldn't normally be a go-to for me, but the owner recommended it and he was right!). Didn't get to try the Nashville Hot Fried Chicken but heard from others it is great too. Great menu all around and a fun place, check it out, and I'll be back on next trip through!

Kansas City girl here that LOVES BBQ so trying not to be too judgemental 🙂 I ordered pulled pork, chopped brisket, baby back ribs, mac & cheese and baked beans (my usual at any BBQ place). Sides, I was a disappointed by size compared to price. Beans were ok, added more BBQ sauce then oh yeah..I couldn't put them down. Mac & cheese, this looked amazing and first bite was so very yummy then I seen bits of mushrooms ( no where was it stated that contains mushrooms nor do most places use in mac & cheese so I didn't think to ask), I am allergic 😫 Meats, good but dry on all 3 and ribs where a bit tough and not fall off the bone nor on any of them did the meats speak for themselves BUT the SAUCE!! OMG the sauce is AMAZING and why I gave a 4 star and the staff (the gentleman taking my order was excellent and cares about his customers). Sauce definitely makes it into my top 5, I normally won't use spicy sauce but this...this was again amazing and not overly spicy. I would definitely go back here!

Place has pretty good food! Service was good, staff were polite and helpful, and my order was ready at the specified pickup time. Definitely would recommend the hot links, the piggy mac, and chopped brisket. Not sure if it fits with normal BBQ standards, since it's not slathered in BBQ sauce, but I think the quality of the dishes is pretty good.

Comfortable outdoor patio with tables and umbrellas to enjoy food or a beer. The staff is very friendly. There's a great selection of local craft beers on tap. It's easy to find something you'll like, and they'll let you taste one if you're unsure. I've actually never tried the food here, but it smells absolutely wonderful, and friends have told me it's excellent. I enjoy a quick stop at BT's for a local craft beer after a long bike ride.

BTs is easily the best BBQ place in this area. There is a great beer selection with taps that are constantly rotating. There is always an amazing selection. There isn't a bad item on the menu and yes I have tried everything on the menu. The atmosphere is great, the staff is very friendly and the customers are also very friendly. Its nice to have a chat at the bar with whoever is sitting next to you.

Food's great!! Still not a huge fan of their smokey BBQ sauces personally (disclaimer: I'm not a huge fan of BBQ sauce in general, nor anything spicy... so their sauce is potentially more authentic than the sissy mild/sweet non-smokey flavor sauce that I do enjoy!!), but they have a really smart built-in fix: they don't put the sauce on the items before serving (at least not the pulled pork sandwich when ordered to go)... so you can do-it-yourself and put on your own preferred sauce when you get home anyway!! 😋 The food is otherwise DELICIOUS, and I usually take a few nibbles of the juicy pulled pork meat even before I make it home to add my own sauce- and it's oh so yummy!! (Can't possibly resist from that intoxicating smell that fills the car!!) And great service with lots of smiles!! Hostess/Server Elizabeth is a gem!! What a sweetheart 😁

Good food and a great beer selection. I'd highly suggest this place to anyone looking for some good pulled pork or southern style ribs. It's not Phil's but it stands well on its own menu. The owner is always around for a chat and is pretty spot-on with his beer suggestions.
