This a simple, no frills eatery. Paper towel dispenser on the table tells you that as soon as you see it. It is very noisy. There is nothing elegant about it. You go for the BBQ. It is reasonably priced, with huge trays for two to share for about $37. There are also individual dishes to order. We had never... More

If you want BBQ on Long Island this place can't be beat. No it's not the same as place in the south or Texas, but if you just want a nice BBQ meal this place is great. Try the Brisket!

We love BBQ but this place was gross. The sides were clearly from a can. The chicken was so overcooked it was practically burned. We went for a family member's birthday party.

Get the full rack of baby racks, add a couple of extra sides and split it. Plenty of food and it all tastes great. Friendly staff.

We ordered the meal that feeds 2-3. It was more than enough for 3 adults. A large variety. We had the pork, it also included chicken. Everything was good! The service was excellent and the price was reasonable.

Reasonable prices. Good barbecue, especially earlier in the day. Excellent early bird specials for under $10. Free dessert next visit if you fill out an online/phone survey.

America should be proud of this type of cuisine, instead I found out about it only after years in the US.
