Authentic Southern BBQ
IN THE HEART OF KINGSTON
In 2019, we set out on a journey throughout the seven BBQ regions of the Southern US to learn about the meat, the wood, the smoke the seasoning, the spices and the culture.

The decor is 'pit' as in BBQ Pit, and industrial. It must get loud when there's a crowd and a game, but it's interesting.
Washrooms on-site, handicap accessible. Nice Place.
Much char on ribs but otherwise great. They had some really good sauces at the station also worth noting. I found the service on the slow side as it was busy but not rammed as I wasn’t even offered a refill on the slow service aspect. Would return hopefully with a more attentive service.
went for superbowl and the food was beyond expectations.
Hot fresh delicious..do not pass go and forget to stop here for BBQ ribs ..mac cheese and cold brews !!!
I ordered the 1lb beef brisket plate and it came out surprisingly fast but was cool in temperature. Not warm, not hot, but cool, as though it had been sitting out for a while, maybe someone's pick up order that they simply didn't want anymore. I have never seen something so pathetic in a restaurant setting in my entire life, the sheer disrespect of having my food be cool while the others at my table got their food hot/warm is baffling.
The food is not cheap but I want to be treated properly for what I'm paying. The brisket itself was gray and had no smoke ring which is simply put embarassing. The cornbread was actually good, as was the coleslaw but the mac'n'cheese could have had a better portion.
I also tried the peach cobbler dessert that tasted super salty, which the waitress informed me was actually a pinch of salt on top (it was, again, noticeably salty and got in the way of enjoying the dessert). It wasn't a really busy Sunday but the lack of staffing definitely delayed service. Overall an extremely disappointing experience, maybe this place was once great but they really dropped the ball on a Sunday night that was not busy at all. Will definitely not be recommending this place to others as the value just isn't there and the disrespect of giving food that was seemingly leftovers is just unacceptable. Looking at other reviews it seems to be a recurring theme that they will not solve.
Enjoyed the meat the first time, however they are not consistent with the level of doneness. Second time we ordered for pickup the meat seemed quite dry and not too juicy.
Our first time was much better. Super tender and right amount of juiciness. The sauces go well together. We tried Maple and the Spicy together!
Portions are good also I do appreciate that.
