  This just became the bar that we will measure all BBQ against in the future. The tri-tip was thickly cut with a perfect spice char. The brisket was the best smoked we've ever had. The brisket pulled apart with a fork. Still debating over wether the St Louis ribs or the sweet sticky ribs were better. Both were fall off the bone delicious. Prices were incredibly reasonable for what we got.
  
  The green beans with bacon weren't mushy! They were tender but not yet baby food!! Corn fritters were moist. Garlic mashed potatoes were the bomb.
  
  We don't drink any more, but the tap menu offered a wide range of craft brews.
  
  Our server, Sarah, was appropriately sassy, offering great suggestions and finding ways to make our stay great.

  First let me start by saying we aren't big complainers. We normally eat just about anything and we are usually pretty generous with our rating on yelp however, thinking about our experience with Wubba last night, we're just going to be honest.  Maybe it was the time of the evening we arrived, maybe it was because it was a holiday and all of the good stuff was gone by the time we sat for dinner, maybe it's always bad. I don't know what happened, but it was not great.
  We rode into town late on Fourth of July, everything was closed near our motel except this barbecue shack. We walked in and the hostess told us the wait would be about five minutes. About 10 minutes into our wait, she came and told us they were all out of every side dish on the menu. She said they had a very busy day and there was nothing left. We contemplated leaving but decided not to because we were worried that no other restaurant would be open at this hour on a holiday. 15 to 20 minutes later, we finally stood up to leave.  More tables were empty than full and the wait was getting ridiculous. At this point, the  hostess walked up and informed us she had a table ready.
  When we were finally seated, we noticed the table was a little sticky.A young man came right over and wiped the table for us.
  The waitress informed us they still had a few sides, we were able to get mixed veggies and a baked potato dinner.  
  We ordered something called a judges plate to get multiple types of meat which were mostly fat and barbecue sauce. Tri-tip was mostly fat, the ribs were like gristle and pieces of bone that flaked off in your mouth when you tried to eat it. We had ordered enough to take home with us so that we could have it the next day on our travels but opted to just let it go to the trash.  And as for those side dishes, they were cold. Cold vegetables, cold potato, and by potato I mean the tiniest darn potato you've ever seen. And I'm not just saying that because were from Idaho. It was not a potato that you would use for a baked potato, it's the one you chop up and throw into your eggs for breakfast.
  We took a slice of berry pie with us so that we had something for the road the next day, The jury is still out on the pie as we haven't tried it yet.

  I'm absolutely done with this place. I can take bad service from time to time but this past weekend was the icing on the cake. Service seemed better. Drinks came quick. Meals were served rather timely. As usual, their food is decent and I was hungry for BBQ. Yet, as I take my first bite, what's staring up at me but a rather robust looking dark hair. I'm bald. My wife's got long hair. Not a chance this came from us. The plate went back and off to the side I see one of the meal prep guys. Brown hair. Ball cap. Facial hair. Zero hair net. My stomach churned. My meal came back (meat only), without the sides. The sides never came. The manager comped my meal. I'm done with this place. We've been in and out several times. Service has never been good and now hair in my food - that's the straw that broke the camels back.
  
  Eat at your own risk.
  
  6 months ago - We've been here a few times now. The food is good. The problem, for the cost of the meal, service is horrible. It's so horrible I will look elsewhere before I come here again. I'm going to have to be real hungry for BBQ to return. I don't care how good the food is, when staff ignore you, are short with you, are very inattentive, then pump you for a tip; I'm not impressed and will be reluctant to change. I go out in part to be waited on. I can cook on my own treager just as good but I dine out to avoid much of the hassle of cooking. Please step up your game. One more bad service trip and I'll never return and I'll make sure others know about it.

  Service was fine, place is nice enough. Prices not so nice but good BBQ is not cheap. I got burnt ends, a lot of it pieces of fat and it was not cheap. Small portion, sauce was way too sweet, and there was just not a a lot there. I'll stop here again, try a burger next time.

  Slowest meal I've had. Food was ok but the service was absent. Small menu, not small price.
