Went here to try something different and was encouraged that they advertised a Memphis Dry Rub BBQ ( Also the saucy Kansas City BBQ if that's your thing) Arrived to a full parking lot so we were pleased that we were able to sit down without waiting at all. There was a 2 man musical group playing which was nice. After being seated and given menus we began to look over the menu- Not too crazy big, so that was good. We waited and waiting for a server to come back to our table. A couple that sat after us, was already enjoying a beverage. After another 5 minutes or more, I went and asked one of the waitresses, if they had a beer/drink menu and if there was a waitress for our table. She apologized said they were nuts, and she would send someone over. The beer menu for drafts was written on a chalk board at the bar, and they "had the usually beers" A server came over, we asked what beers they had, and she could remember Stell, Miller Lite and Budlight- We ordered beers and our dinner at the same time, because we didn't want to wait another 20 minutes. Apps first- I ordered steamers that were good. My companion ordered nachos, which had plenty of chips, but the cheese was found only on the top layer of a small portion in the middle of the pile under the quac and sour cream. Was disappointing that the cheese did not venture from that area, and the chicken was almost non existent. What portion had the cheese and the other ingredients was good, but spreading the cheese across more of the plate and more than one layer would have been appreciated. Entree: Memphis 1/2 rack with corn muffin, coleslaw and sweet potato fries. Rub had a good flavor, ribs were hot but overcooked and dried out. Coleslaw was tasty, corn bread could have used a pat of butter, sweet potato fries were to limp for my taste. Though that was on me, I know they aren't' as prone to being crisp without me asking for well done or crispy. Companion- Kansas City ribs (1/2 rack) and Cajun chicken, mashed potato and rice. He liked the ribs good enough( not commenting to much on this) potatoes were "chunky" like he likes and no review on the chicken or rice as it wasn't touched. Waitress came over a couple of times while we were eating to check in on us, but never came around after finishing our meal. We waited 15 -20 minutes listening to music, but the band ended promptly at 9. Again I went in search of someone to give us a to go container for the uneaten chicken and rice, and our check. Over all, the food would not bring me back, and the service has some work to do. Though most were young, and I imagine this may be their first job.

Was an Awesome place, food was amazing . Since Becky left it went down a deep well. Either they changed ownership or a new cook, but we went tonight as we thought they had the best chowder and other foods previously. Nope not anymore. Staff was fine but food NOT. Will not go back

I had a catered event here and thoroughly had a great time! Great food and excellent service. Shout out to the staff for being so attentive and meeting all our needs to make our party a success! Would highly recommend!!

So Im an RN at Samaritan hospital and I had a crazy long day at work. This week in general had been miserable and I just wanted to go out to eat for something quick and easy. My husband and I where seated quickly and the server came over with a smile. She took our orders and brought us our food so quickly. She surprised me at the end by buying my delicious juice bomb as a thank you for being a nurse. Honestly she not only made my night after a hectic 12 hour shift but made me tear up with the beautiful gesture. I'm so grateful for her kindness and for the great food. If you are seeking a hometown delicious place to eat with kind and considerate staff go to Brunswick BBQ! Ask for Amanda as your server she is just plain lovely.

Good setting, friendly staff. Pizza sucked wings were decent. Standard beer pricing on standard craft beer.

Make sure you check the menu if you haven't been there in a while they have cut it down significantly.It's mostly barbecue and burgers with a few entrees now. The waitress was very nice but pushed us out the door. Even though they had empty tables. She brought boxes before we asked them brought the check like 3 minutes after that even though we said we still needed some time.Ended up being about $30 a person food was decent but not great.

Nice menu,good for takeout.

Food was great and reasonably priced. Service was excellent.

Ordered BBQ sampler ... an appetizer. Plenty to eat as a meal. But meat was dried out. Sauce couldn't help that. Nacho appetizer was huge but really didnt need salad on it. And where was the pulled pork.. and where was the salsa? Waitress never asked if I wanted a second drink. They only asked one person at our table if they wanted a second drink, and brought her one. Pricey for the quality of food. Service was indifferent.

Great dinner Saturday night. Then the restaurant got busy for the waitstaff to keep up.
