Our Guestbook
“ The 9 of us enjoyed a great dinner at the Burnt End. I called ahead and even though they don't take reservations, they were able to get us seated at the time I requested on Saturday evening. The service was excellent and, as always, the food was great--everyone ordered something different and the food was served to all of us in a reasonable timeframe. Kudos to the kitchen and the wait staff. We will be back! ”
“ I was driving through town & I wanted something good for lunch. I saw the good reviews this spot had so I had to stop in. I'm glad I did! I wasn't sure which meat I wanted in my sandwich so I went with The Big Ray, which has 3 meats in it! It was juicy & flavorful, especially when I topped it with their mustard BBQ sauce! The only constructive criticism I'd give is that I think the onion ring order was light; I think another 3-4 rings would of been perfect. ”
“ You can rarely go wrong here. I usually get their pulled chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and their praline sauce for dipping. It's a must! Ham steaks and pulled pork are also good. Burnt ends won't last long so try them if they're available! ”
“ My mom and I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the food was amazing. There were a lot of ppl there and only 2 waitresses. They were both nice and let us know they were making drinks. We're not from around there and appreciated the friendliness off the staff. Food was pretty good. I still think about the sweet potato fries. Def have to get those with the sweet sauce it comes with. The brisket was a little dry. Maybe cause it was the end of the day but none the less it was good!! Good food good prices!! ”
“ On the main corner in Redbud. We tried the BBQ sampler. They were out of brisket, so we got a quarter slab of ribs, pulled pork, hot link and smoked wings. It was all pretty good, nothing amazing. The cole slaw was simple but delicious. Onion rings also very good. Plenty of food for two, just $21.99. They have table service, unlike a lot of BBQ joints. Our server was hard-working and fast-talking (a little har to keep up with honestly). It's a nice place to stop if you're in the area, or carry out to the brewery across the street. ”
