What our guests are saying

Fantastic good and service. Great pulled pork. Actual hand cut, pounded out and in house breaded Tenderloins. Can't wait to go again.

Good people who make you feel at home. I really enjoy their bbq!! Prices are reasonable especially the lunch specials. They have daily drink specials as well .

The seven pepper dry rub on Papas wings is no joke! Not for the faint of heart, but perfect for me 🙂 Spicy hot and flavorful, crispy. My friend had the BBQ platter and was really happy with it. I'll be looking forward to stopping by again next time I'm in Monmouth.
