I ate several times before it was closed for remainder of year in summer because of fire. Quality food and fun unique atmosphere made this a well-loved local institution. It will reopen in spring 2013

BBQ wet or dry? Take it dry if you don't like spicy BBQ sauce. Then you can taste and sweeten the sauce. They are really limited on the BBQ sauce. The ribs are great but the sauce, even the mild, is spicy and not sweet.

Meat is dry and overcooked. For advertising itself as a BBQ restaurant, its BBQ is forgettable and generic.

This was one of our favorite places in Monticello. They had lots of antiques and collectibles on the walls. Sadly this place just burnt down! Hoping they rebuild or find a new location soon!

I've only eaten there once a couple of years ago. However, I was just in Monticello the week of June 18, and this restaurant burned to the ground - it's a total loss. My only experience there, however, was disappointing - the food was overpriced and not very good. Hopefully, they'll rebuild and do a better job.

Burned in the middle of the afternoon while open on 6/20. Dan Sublette (the owner) says it will be back and better than ever. A shame, we had dinner the Monday before and found it very good. Probably lost quite a few antiques and a giant stuffed bear in the fire, which made the atmosphere there. Hopefully it will be... More

Our experiences eating here had always been good. We would usually order takeaway rather than eat in the restaurant but on the occasions we did, service was excellent and friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant burned to the ground today. No news on whether or not they intend to rebuild. I certainly hope so.

My husband wanted barbeque.... so we went there hoping to get good BBQ. The pulled pork left a lot to be desired. I was so disappointed :( I liked the ambiance, good service, but food not so much.

Interesting decor. Nice staff. Huge fresh salads. Best fish sandwich I have had in a long time. Scrumptious chocolate cake. Decent BBQ sauce but ribs were cold. Slaw sucked

The servers here always seem swamped. The BBQ is fine but not worth the wait, you will get a seat but the food takes a long time. I have been many times and this is always the case. Servers are always kind but I am always running late when I leave. Usually at least an hour at the table or... More
