Went Thursday at 11am. I was the second in line, but the first served.

Very, very good chopped pork. Generous portion and 2 sides for the lunch plate at $8.50.

Seating is the same as the old Weston's BBQ, so there are probably tables for 40 or so.

Beer was going to be available starting Friday, in bottles.

A great addition to the area. Nice not to have to drive to the one on 441.

Let's get out there and support them!

Well, writing that made me hungry, so I went back for 'lupper' (lunch/ supper).

Again, it was very good with the pork moist, nice crisp spiced bark, and deep pink smoke ring. The sweet potato and slaw were also very good.

The manager said that this week was a 'soft' opening and that next week, Tuesday, would be the 'real' opening.

Indeed, they are closed Sunday and Monday....so good thing I went today.

Two more excellent lunches there this week.

I stick with the chopped pork but have changed up the sides.

Today's sides were the baked beans which were very good and meaty, as well as the French fries which were crisp and large.

I also noted that they have a fried fish on the menu, if you are interested.

I might have to try the beef or ribs next, but I do so love the chopped pork!

It has been getting more and more busy. Mostly Wildwood folks like realtors and city workers.

Most crowded that I have seen it tonight, Friday. Still, immediate seating for our party of 5

My ribs tonight were excellent. Good dry rub and very tender. Also got some sliced beef. Seemed to be smoked eye of round. Very, very lean and smokey.

They continue to do well.

I'm not knocking it, but is that 4 times you've been there in the past couple of weeks? We will be there in May so we will get a chance to try it out. Living close to Brownwood makes it another good option for us.

Online information says it will open on Monday. FINALLY!!!! :22yikes:

PaulDenise 04-18-2015 07:07 AM

Actually five times in the last two weeks! Luckiest guy in the world.

They do have chicken but I have not tried it yet.

Excellent Rib Special
 
Stopped by tonite and they had a baby back rib dinner special, full rack plus 2 sides for $13.49.

Excellent food, got it to go but there were tables available at 6pm.

Food was good. Limited menu. Husband said they did not have baked potatoes for example. Did not take Oakwood plastic gift card. Prices a little higher per my husband.
