Just up the east hill from Watkins Glen in the town of Burdett this gem is worth the drive. Lots of seating for larger groups and the food is fantastic. Our server was efficient and friendly with our table of 9.

Not impressed. Food was just okay. However the ribs, were close to uneatable, fatty, very little meet, couldn't separate bones. Wings were okay, again one was uneatable not sure even a wing. Perhaps could overlook, but had to wait over an hour for this sub par meal. Nothing on tap only bottles. Won't be going back.

Waitress was nice, food was terrible. Do yourself a favor and read the negative reviews especially the ones about the brisket. I wish I had read them before coming here. The pulled pork was no better, disgusting actually. Definitely not real BBQ :(

The restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. The service is friendly, accommodating and very professional. The food was okay. I order the BBQ combo with my two side choices being the corn and string beans. The entree was very underwhelming.... I’ve had BBQ in Texas, Memphis, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Arizona and many other places as a comparison. There was absolutely no smoke flavor whatsoever. I noticed this also when parking as I didn’t smell the usual BBQ pit smell.
The pork ribs were very, very sweet and too saucy for my liking. The BBQ beef brisket was not what I was expecting at all. It wasn’t the traditional Texas style slices of beef and was something more like a beef stir-fry dish you would get at a Chinese restaurant which was also smothered in a vinegar sweet sauce. The chicken tasted like plain grilled chicken off the grill (not fall off the bone BBQ) and was lacking any seasoning or smoke flavor. The sides of corn and string beans were nothing special and basically tasted like (I’m sure they were) frozen vegetables just heated up on the stovetop. The garden salad was a generous size and enjoyable though.
Not trying to be harsh but give a fair assessment for others visiting the area. If you are a BBQ food junkie then you might want to try something different.

Got take out, but wish I read more reviews before spending my money here. I’ve had BBQ in Atlanta, NJ, NY, TN, and PA, but I have never had such peculiar brisket..... it was honestly more like shaved beef you would get in a Chinese restaurant covered in a sweet mustard sauce. I don’t know how they can call it brisket... it was chewy and hard to cut. The Ribs had a nice flavorful rub (under the sauce) but they were chewy and covered in too much sauce. They seemed to be boiled or baked as they lacked any smoky flavor. The corn bread and coleslaw were the best parts of the whole experience and they were nothing spectacular.
