Great staff and when you walk in they play your sons music on the radio. The food is always awesome.

The best barbeque in the state.also the best burgers....

Passed by this place today and made it a point to come back for dinner. Glad I did. Found out they were recently voted Best BBQ in Albany. Got the Two Meat Combo with Brisket and Ribs of course! Both were very well cooked and tasted great. Portions were a bit smaller than I was expecting but the quality of the meat was very good. Sauces were very good tried the Sweet and Mustard. Got the fresh Pork skins and they came out hot and poppin’. I would definitely recommend them and dip them in the Sweet BBQ Sauce. Stew was tasty and Cole slaw I would say was just average. Nothing special. Service was outstanding and she kept my Tea glass filled. Nice place overall. Will definitely come back when I am back in town to try the Pulled Pork and other sides.

Best little hidden restaurant in town . Rib tips are so yummy . Outside seating is such a refreshing choice. Want a real Ruben with fresh pastrami and rye please go . Enjoyed every single bite

If you like boiled ribs, not even cut apart, and weird tasting rubs and sauces then this is your place.Yeah their wings are good, but they still ripped me off. Poor service. I'd eat their wings though. Not your ribs. You didn't even slice them apart. If you didn't boil them you may as well have as they were tough. Your sauces are weird tasting, not good at all.

Great service, we got that around 7:45 after a Christmas program at Sherwood, they close at 8, server said come on in, Party of 10, took awesome care of us, owner came out and made sure to tell us not to rush that he would be there for another hour and he was here for us, great food, especially the ribs, highly recommend!

The owners and staff are awsome and the food is delicious

Fabulous food! Brisket, philly cheese steak, green beans, jalapeño corn, Brunswick stew was tried and we were not disappointed. Even took some stew and corn home. We will be back.
