    Great smoked chicken

    The smoked chicken is arguably the best in town. Pulled Pork is good, not super great and not bad at all. The dry rub on the chicken is the best part about it. The place is fairly small but most get it to go. Sides;...More

    Great Ribs

    Stopped for a late lunch. The ribs were great! Good flavor and served dry. Sauce was amazing. Try the hot sauce also. Potato casserole was also a great side. Very quick and friendly service and reasonable prices. I will be back next time I’m driving...More

    Mid-afternoon lunch on the road

    We had been traveling for six hours and wanted a good BBQ meal. We received it, sort of. A rather shy young waitress, Mykayla, took care of us. The pork tenderloin was very dry, the watery BBQ sauce didn't help. The beans were clearly from...More

    Just OK

    Nothing to write home about, just OK. Prices reasonable, quality ok, portions ok. Probably would not eat there again.

    Best BBQ in Paducah!!!

    Saw the sign out front that said "Smoke but no mirrors" and stopped in. It is a small restaurant, with a counter and about 8 tables but WOW the food is excellent!!! We ordered the ribs, which were seasoned with a wonderfully flavored dry rub...More

    Wanted To Like This Place

    It appeared to be a good experience in the making...wrong. I thought a locally owned BBQ joint in Western KY would be great. It had neat decor and that smokey smell but the food was fair at best. They use grill weights for all sandwiches...More

    Good BBQ, good plain BBQ

    I eat lunch here at least once a month-since I go back, it means it is good. The prices are fair, portion size is good, a sandwich and side are filling. I routinely get a pound of pulled pork to take with me as well....More

    Really Good!

    We wanted to try a BBQ place while in Paducah and found this place. So glad we did! We tried the ribs which were excellent and the pulled pork-good and a very generous portion. We will go back.

    Smell the Smoke

    Stayed at a hotel nearby on our cross-country move. Missed the turn into restaurant and had to go to next street to turn around. So happy I did, as I saw a man out back...next to a pit...tossing wood in! THIS IS THE REAL DEAL,...More
