“ EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! PIGGY MAC FOR THE WIN We will be back. This is a great addition to the food scene in Benton! ”
“ My husband and I both had the brisket. I had a chopped sandwich plate and he had a chopped plate. Both came with one side. He had the smokehouse beans and I had the mac and cheese. Both were very good. For dessert, we had the apple crisp a la mode. It was delicious! It wasn’t overly sweet and had an oat crumb topping. My husband, who bakes much more than I do, said he could tell they used real butter in the topping. The dessert was just enough for the two of us. We’ll definitely be back now that we know there’s brisket close by. ”
“ We have waited patiently for them to get through their growing pains of opening a new restaurant before trying it. We were extremely pleased all the way around! It was a busy Friday evening, and we were seated immediately. The server was attentive and kept our drinks full. We waited about 15 minutes for our food (5 of us) and everything was delicious! I had the brisket plate, wife had bacon wrapped sausage, others had pulled pork sandwiches and nachos, all was hot, fresh and tasty. Had some apple crisp for dessert and enjoyed that as well. We look forward to coming back! ”
“ Went to Dave’s new restaurant today with our family! We loved their food truck and had to try their new restaurant out! We got brisket sandwhiches, seasoned fries, a baked potato and the smokehouse loaded baked potato(which are HUGE! I could only eat half of it!) chicken strips and fries, piggy Mac and bbq nachos! Also not pictured is their pulled pork sandwich! All are sooo amazing and delicious! The nachos were a full size, with honey bbq sauce and it’s sooo good! I loved the potatoes(something new I’ve finally been able to try!). ”
