Got to try it, this place is exceptional for Cory food and is a rare find in the mountains. It’s clear they have a real chef, we ordered tortilla soup, chili, and the meat platter.

Better barbecue than most places that are “famous”. Little Truckee gem so please don’t tell too many people ;) Recommend the brisket and hot links with garlic fries and a side of the hazy IPA. It’s a little pricey, but most places are now. Treat yourself once.

Come get some Smokin' BBQ! Off the hook. Grab some BBQ Sauce while you're at it. Chicken slyders on a fresh biscuit and BBQ wings were outstanding!

Lovely, amazing little shack with a lot of heart. And you can taste it in the food. Service is always so kind here, even if they're packed. Always gotta hit up this spot when heading out to Reno. French onion soup is a must!!

Best BBQ and steaks around. Steak was cooked great, beans and coleslaw was top notch and paired perfectly. Cornbread was incredible. They don’t have their ribeye anymore which was upsetting. But 10/10, definitely recommend
