    Me and my siblings are BBQ brisket hunters for that reason we have tried literally almost every single restaurant who serves BBQ brisket in all of Plainfield, Joliet ,Minooka, Shorewood, Morris area and this restaurant has the best !!!!! The brisket is juciy, tender and just right amount of greasy lol . We did not try any other menu items but I assume they are also delicious. We always order n take out , they get the order ready pretty quick . Prices are fair for sure .

    Definitely recommend this spot if you are in the mood for some good smoked Ribs. We love the flavor of the ribs and their sauces to go with are amazing. They have a mild and Spicy sauce as well. We personally get both and mix it up. The ribs have a lot of meat compare to other places I have gone to. Their spicy Hot link is way too good! Spicy that's for sure. Now only negative thing about this place, I have to say their sides are not that great. They are pretty dry tbh. So we stop getting them. But we still go for the ribs, we like them a lot!
