Food was amazing. Nicole was an outstanding waitress she went above and beyond for me and my family. 10/10

I'm only going 4 stars because everything was delicious, but the sauce on the table was only okay and not my favorite sauce I've ever had. We have had some pretty bad Delaware Bbq and have also been disappointed by just about every other restaurant that we've seen on instagram on various local influencer pages, but this place was awesome. We were pretty much sold when the Texican street corn dip came out. Those chips covered in seasoning was such a beautiful thing after the last few disappointing bland meals locally. The chips were freshly made and covered in dry rub. And the dip was delicious as well with subtle smoky flavors from the chicken and also sweet from the corn. We devoured that! I got the brisket grilled cheese (minus bacon jam since we don't eat pork) from the specials menu and ordered a 1/4 pound of smoked turkey as well. OMG the sandwich was one of my favorite sandwiches maybe ever. The bread was buttery and grilled and there was crispy cheese all around the sandwich. The brisket basically melted in my mouth. I will definitely need this again very soon! The fries that came with the sandwich were also seasoned well and were great fries. The turkey was super tender and definitely not dry at all. I was so happy that I could only eat half of everything so I could have it the next day as well! Bf got the two meat platter and couldn't decide on just one side, so he got 3. He got brisket and dark meat chicken. The meat was awesome and he enjoyed both. He got the Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and the trucker potatoes. He did ask for some of the bbq seasoning on the side and added it to everything and he said it made it even better. He's pretty picky about his mac and cheese, and this was to his liking. We will definitely be back!

Great bbq and quick service at the to go counter. You have the option to sit and order inside or walk down the assembly line and order to go. Great side choices. The mac and cheese was incredible.

Went here with a friend and I got the smoked kielbasa, chili mac, a piece of brisket, and a bourbon cocktail. There was a live band playing and the overall atmosphere was nice. Food was also good, I will say I wish I got more bang for my buck, as the food was good, but it just wasn't worth the money. Can't complain about the service. Also got a banana pudding to wrap up the meal and it all hit the spot, just a bit pricey for what you are getting, but the best for the area.
