Best BBQ I’ve had since leaving the Midwest. The spicy BBQ sauce is excellent. Huge selection of Beers with lots of craft brews on tap. Joint is popular with the locals so it can be a bit busy. Highly recommended.

I love this place. The Tri Tip is exceptional and my wife loves the Firebird chicken. The restaurant itself is small but the ambiance is great. Their craft beer selection is also good. Overall this is a great place

My wife wanted BBQ for Valentine's day so who I'm to argue. We both went with the 2 meat plate she had chicken and brisket and I had ribs and pulled pork so we get to sample 4 different meats. Chicken was flavorful and juicy, the rest was tender and so look good. Good portions we brought some home along with the berry cobbler. Will have to wait till later for that.

If you want real BBQ, you have to try this place! We tried the smoke brisket and pulled pork, everything was good. We have to come back and try their other dishes.

I ordered the pulled pork plate large ($19) and my GF ordered the 2 meat plate ($28), 3 sodas ($3), and a half order of garlic bread ($5). I think it was good overall with really good service, my soda never went empty. But when I got the bill at 75.00 I didn't feel like I got a great or even good value with the portions. Not sure I'd go back because I can find a better value in San Jose.

Went in yesterday and sat at the bar moved over so 3 more gentlemen could fit in. 2 waitress told us 1st thing we need to address a table for 6 before we wait on you rather than cleaning the counter for us and offering us a drink and letting us know what meats were left. I thought the royal family was in there the way these girls addressed us. I won't be eating there for the remainder of the year sad cuz I like this place.

We really enjoyed this place. It seemed like there were a lot of regulars, and our service was excellent. The food was good and the portions were generous, but not over the top. It's a bit of s drive for us, but we'll probably return.

Delicious BBQ and good service. I would recommend to others visiting or in the area. The first time I have ever had brisket outside of Texas and the Ribs definitely hit the spot. 😋😁👍 I will definitely bring friends and/or family the next time I'm in the Area.

The BBQ is excellent! It's sometimes difficult to hear the server (attentive and nice) when the music is too loud and the place is packed. I think that's what led to our order being wrong. Great craft beer selection, and they offer samples, but the signage with descriptions over the bar is sometimes hard to read. (Ok, I'm old...)We'll be back!

Great BBQ! My husband's from Texas and he was impressed! It took a bit for things to come out, but that's because it actually involved cooking the food, so in my books that was a positive.My husband and I shared the brisket and the baked potato and then tried the berry cobbler for dessert. Phenomenal. Restaurant had cute decor as well.

Went a little later 7:30pm they close at 9pm they had plenty of tables open. The hostess came to sit us and informed us they were out of pretty much everything. We did not eat because there were only 1 side of pulled pork, or 5 half chickens to choose from. If your going to be open for business be in business and have what you advertise.

This place is wonderful. Such a fun atmosphere and delicious food. I had the pulled pork sandwich and I can only describe it as sublime. If you are ever in the area, it's so worth going. However, the place is not very big and can fill quickly so get there before the rush.

Went here when it was established and had odd hours. The menu has changed only slightly since then and the food and service has always been and remains fantastic.I introduced a friend who now makes a point to stop and eat here when driving past Morgan Hill. Helps there there is a parking garage with EV charging immediately behind it.

I ordered the tri tip salad. It was fantastic. It had fresh fruit included in the salad. It was very delicious. I would order double meat next time because it was so good.

First time trying this place. Tri tip was some of the fattiest I’ve had. Pulled pork a bit salty. Potato salad too creamy and lacking flavor. Will try again, but not overly impressed after first time.

Had pulled pork, beans, potato salad and a slice of garlic toast. Washed it down with one of the many selections of beers available. Everything was delicious. The pork was tender and juicy, not dry. Prices were reasonable. They do not take reservations, so there may be a wait on busy nights (worth waiting!) and you may need to make use of the large nearby parking structure. A really fun place, friendly attentive service, and some truly good BBQ.

Went with a bunch of my friends, ordered a large and complicated order of various meat platters, and our food was still ready extremely fast. The meat platters were all fantastic - in particular, the pulled pork and the chicken breast were particularly delicious. The beer menu is also excellent, with a couple dozen options of local craft beers on tap.

The waitress, Madison, saved the day. The food was great but we weren't going to stay after we saw what they were out of. We were pleasantly greeted at the door and convinced to try what was still available. Definitely would recommend this place based on customer service and quality food.

One of the best places in South Bay to get proper BBQ! They actually smoke their meat. Always tender and so flavorful. Garlic bread is amazing and they have some pretty good beers available for purchase.

Questions & Answers

They don't take reservations but you can call to see how busy they are.

No. In fact they have a sign that reads, "if you have a reservation you're in the wrong place"
