Go for the BBQ, chat up the proprietors, forget the sauce, dismiss the ambiance, and try to find better brisket anywhere. We stumbled onto this, but what a treat. This is designed for people who truly enjoy the art of cooking long and slow. All...the fixins are great too, and this guy deserves the highest accolades.More

If you like smoked bbq with homemade dry rubs then this is the place for you! Ribs are flavorful & tender. Brisket too. (Everything is good) The sides are delicious & all homemade. Full size portions! Patrick is the Best!

Amazing stand alone meat, the brisket and Blue Ribbon BBQ sauce are perfect together. Great sides and desserts. I definitely recommend this quality BBQ place.

I'm probably not a barbeque conesour, but my experience was excellent. Their beef brisket and pork ribs were quite flavorful, and I'm at a loss to accurately describe how it was different from what I usually have locally for me in Rochester (or even in...Memphis a couple years ago). Great dry rub (comes standard, though "dry" isn't my impression from how juicy it was), tasty sauces which seemed homemade, and a great balance of protein & fat for the 2 meats. Loved the Cowboy beans side. The mac salad was pretty typical, though good. I'm definitely heading back again next time I'm in the area!More

I lived in Kansas for 8 years. Have been back home since 2010. I miss mid west style BBQ. I have driven by this place and wanted to try it out but thought a BBQ place in NY cannot compare....Boy was I WRONG!! Owners are...from the mid west and the food is like nothing you will find around here! Stopped in for the first time last night. We WILL be back! I am picky about BBQ. Food was EXCELLENT! My mom who isn't big on pulled pork, Ate half of mine!! Great prices, friendly sit down, home style service, and Kansas style BBQ. You will not be disappointed!!More

After spending hours on the road driving in New York state, my wife and I were getting very hungry. We saw great reviews of this tiny restaurant down a country road and decided to check it out. Wow! We were not disappointed. The ribs and...pulled pork were fantastic, tender and delicious and the coleslaw was tasty. Pat and Theresa, the two owners, an adorable older couple who keep their restaurant open Thursday through Sunday 4-9 pm, were friendly and warm, and happy to chat amicably. If I am up in the Oneonta area again in the future, I am definitely going there again.More

We were in the area visiting a friend and craving some BBQ. We were aware of other places in the area but none of them offered beef brisket...but Andres did! And boy was it AMAZING! Don't think about it... Just Go... You won't be disappointed....The owners were very friendly and personable and all of the food was OFF THE CHAIN..YUM!! Chicken fell off the bone, the ribs were tender and tasty, homemade sauces complimented the dry rub on all the meats! Overall, good old-fashioned finger lickin' BBQ!!More

Smoked foods done right. It's not barbecue, it's much better. I had their pulled pork and smoked brisket along with smoked portobello mushrooms during Oneonta's Snowmeggon at Roots. It left me wanting more and more. I can't wait till they open on April 7th. I'll...be a regular customerMore
