Usually I don’t get seafood at a BBQ restaurant because that’s not their specialty and I don’t think it will be as good. But when I saw they had walleye I had to try it and I was impressed, it was delicious. It was lightly breaded the way I like it and very tasty. It came with shrimp also which was okay, but the walleye was better. Can’t go wrong with their baked beans either, always delicious. My husband enjoyed his pulled pork also. Service was good, we always enjoy going here!

Steak was excellent, fish and onion rings were very good. The salmon was good. Ribs (fall off the bone tender) and pulled brisket were good. Fries were good. Baked beans and coleslaw were excellent. Corn bread was excellent. Potato salad was just ok. And for dessert.....bread pudding which was excellent. First time here and will definitely be back.
