Great food! The brisket was fork tender and delicious! The ribs were amazing and the chicken had great smoke flavor. Sides were top-notch! We tried the restaurant for the first time last week and went back again this week. It did not disappoint!

Great food and atmosphere! The owner is attentive and friendly - very welcoming. Delicious brisket and turkey. The Brussels sprouts were particularly good - sweet and crunchy. And the chocolate chip cookies were perfect.

This place is very cheerful and the food is really good. I had the brisket and sausage. The beans were good too. If you are driving near Monroe, give it a shot.

We ate here last night and came back today because it was so good. Get there early before they sell out of what you want. Last night I had a great burger instead of the ribs I really wanted. Today I had ribs and they...are awesome. It was so good my husband ate a whole chicken and his daughter says their mac and cheese is the best she’s ever had.More

This is our favorite restaurant! The BBQ is amazing. The ribs are to-die-for!! I love the brisket tacos. Best hamburger in town. Family-owned and good quality food. Not to mention a cool location and great outdoor dining.

Went at the recommendation of a friend. Great location and really solid food. Fruit cup was just defrosted fruit, but otherwise everything was good. We loved that they offered lean and fatty brisket.

Had the pulled pork sandwich - great flavor ! They offer outdoor seating and Jordan Sheppard was playing live while we were there which was sure a treat ! I assume one of the owners came by our table and thanked us for our business...which I thought was very kind. I love eating at local places where the owners take great pride in what they are serving 🥰More

Finally, a new shining star of BBQ heaven in West Monroe! Visited here for the first time today, and was thoroughly pleased. For starters, the customer service here feels very personal, but also still extremely professional. We were never left wanting for service at any...time, and were always checked on to make sure that we had everything we needed. The interior of this place is beautiful! Seriously, just look at the pics. The decor pays homage to "old" Monroe/West Monroe/Cottonport, with a touch of modern flair. It gives the impression of those old time country stores but with an industrial coffee house kind of vibe. In regards to the food....well if I had eaten anymore, I would have probably had to have my wife call Plunk's to come tow me out of here. We are no strangers to smoked meats / BBQ and actually have multiple smokers (including a UDS) and use them quite often. It's very nice to find a place here locally that actually impresses us, and this restaurant does just that. The brisket served here has a great smoke ring, perfect bark, and is absolutely juicy. The brisket nachos are also a must-try, and if you are super hungry, brave, or need a LARGE app to share with the family, be sure to get the FULL order. It's a biggun'. You can also customize the nachos with a selection of meat (brisket or pulled pork) as well as sweet (or spicy) BBQ sauce drizzle, and cheese. For sides, I believe the shining star on this trip would be the Mac n' Cheese. It has a milder bite to it than others I have tried which have typically used sharp cheddar and gouda with a Bechamel sauce, but it does have a nice bit of smokiness to it. Overall, we very much look forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu!More

I loved the quaint, outdoor patio eating. I love the large first come first serve area. The staff were so kind. What I didn't like, unfortunately, was the food. It was inedible. I ordered brisket nachos as a meat. The nachos were ordinary, out-of-the-bag dorito...chips, and there was a small amount of brisket that tasted good. But beyond picking out the brisket, I couldn't eat the nachos. They were covered in canned cheese. You know the kind you can get at Sam's, etc. It was beyond awful. I was disappointed. I will perhaps go back, but I will be more careful what I order.More

We had it catered at our office- HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food is great. Everything has great flavor but the mac and cheese rules! The brisket has a beautiful smoke ring and melts in your mouth. I wish they had chicken!

Went for take out trying something new. Food was good. The only negative if any. The green beans have a bit to much pepper for my wife's taste. Other than that great place will go again
