Real Smoke. Real Wood. Real Good.

"We were visiting our son for Christmas and this restaurant was recommended. Let’s start with the pros: the place is very charming and was decorated perfectly for Christmas…very cozy! We were seated right away with a little bucket of fresh popcorn and all of our drinks came in large mason jars. We ordered the pulled pork nachos and the fried pickles, both were delicious! The service was good. Cons: I honestly wish I would’ve finished the nachos and skipped ordering an entree. It’s a smokehouse, so I was excited to order a half rack of ribs, unfortunately they were terrible, very dry and grisly, even the variety of sauces couldn’t help them. I had a side salad that was boring and the sweet potato fries were soggy and tasteless. My husband had the sampler platter with brisket, ribs and pork. He said the pork was good, brisket was okay and ribs were not edible. Others at the table had a burger and sandwiches and seemed happy with their food. They automatically added 25% tip to the check. I would go back for the nachos and charm, but I’d pass on the rest of the menu."

"Overall this was a wonderful experience. Food was good and portioned well. Drinks were good and servers were friendly. I would definitely recommend this establishment. They do appear to close somewhat early so be aware that their hours seem a little early for a restaurant. To each their own just be sure to check for hours of operation before making your trip there."

"Genuinely this place is so amazing. The atmosphere is so warm and unique and aesthetically pleasing. The staff is super kind and when I made a mistake ordering they threw in a side of mac and cheese at no cost which was so nice of them. The drinks were literally amazing. Strong and delicious. I had the drunken pumpkin spiced latte and tried a couple others and they were all delicious and strong. The food was also delicious. Highly recommend this place. I live an hour away and I’d come back just for this place lol"

"We were somewhat frequent customers before COVID and always enjoyed our meals. Over the last couple of years we've driven by almost daily and wondered if our favorite BBQ spot was still open for business. Well.... they're back! Stopped in last night after finding Pennings so busy they could not spare a moment to seat us at one of the several open tables and very glad we did. Awesome decor and great country tunes, just like before. Service by Laura was cheerful and professional, accomodations for Friday Lent preferences offered without batting an eye. The bacon brussels sprouts were terrific, with a portion size so generous for two that I'll be enjoying some at home for lunch today. We chose a Caesar salad and a brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese and slaw sides. Portions are generous for sure. Everything was great, even the Cole slaw, which some places will just order by the 5 gallon bucket and serve endless scoops out of, was freshly made and a real treat. I took 1/2 of my brisket sandwich home as well. So glad we stopped in again. So glad they are firing on all cylinders again. Give it a try!"

"We came in on Valentine’s Day so yes it was pretty busy! Basically all tables were full. We sat down and it took a few minutes to order but once we did, we were right where we wanted to be. I ordered a martini that was made to perfection, the bartender was the sweetest (she was also the waitress and had a food runner/host). The food was fabulous! I ordered the brisket French dip and it did not disappoint! It was one of the best briskets I’ve had, juicy, melts in your mouth. It was all around a great place to try! We will def be back"
