  Ribs were par boiled. Bartender was clueless about their Tequila KAH. I had to prove she was wrong with my smart phone and then she ripped me off charging 20 for a shot and a half when she said it was 3 shots.

  My husband and I had dinner here recently.  It is definitely more of a bar that also serves food.  There was classic rock on the radio, which put us more in the "bar atmosphere" mood.
  
  We started off with the Jacked Up Mushrooms for an appetizer.  They were good; didn't knock my socks off, but they were tasty.  However, I felt they were lacking a little salt.  We both ordered the pulled pork sandwich.  A tasty sandwich, but not the best I've ever had.  It was a little on the dry side, so I used plenty of the Rootbeer sauce which solved that problem quickly.  And the sauce was good.
  
  Overall, everything was just okay.  Nothing to really complain about.  The prices were reasonable and they have a huge beer menu.  We will probably return.

  My wife and I went to Brickyard BBQ last night for dinner after receiving a bogo coupon from a local flyer. Overall, I would go back and pay full price...so I suppose the coupon worked.
  
  I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The sandwich was tasty, very moist and no fat globs but unfortunately no bark on this particular sandwich. I do look forward to the bark on the bbq - that's where it's at in my opinion. Perhaps next time. I also tasted each of the 3 sauces available table side, and each was very good in it's own respect. The mac and cheese was slightly drier than my idea of perfect mac and cheese, but I prefer it "saucier" than many folks. It was toasted to get a crust on top which was awesome, but could have been saucier to start with...jmo. I would, however, order it again in a heartbeat.
  
  My wife had the chicken sandwich and baked beans. The chicken breast was large, juicy and seasoned well. The baked beans weren't just a plain canned variety...they actually had "extra stuff" mixed in, and the flavor combo worked out well. While the menu didn't have cornbread listed with the lunches (which is where the sandwiches are listed), it was listed with the dinners. We asked for some and it very good as well.  
  
  The staff was very friendly, and made us feel right at home. While I'm not much of a bar type of person, and this is a bar, I was very comfortable. I guess it's just more of a family type of feeling that I really like.
  
  Others that were there all seemed to be having a good time, including a group of 10 young guys that were in the process of putting down a pile of grub, and enjoying every bit of it!
  
  I'll definitely go back!

  I would actually give this place a 3 1/2.  I went there twice, both with quite different experiences.  I'd have to go back one more time to make a final decision.
  
  The first time I went me and a friend had 2 orders of wings.  One with the Rootbeer BBQ sauce, the other with the mild BBQ sauce.  Both were excellent!  They were smoked just right so you had that juicy chicken on the inside and just enough smoky crisp on the outside.  Then we had the 'Jacked Up Mushrooms'.  Those were totally amazing!  I'm a huge mushroom fan so this was right up my alley.  I forget exactly how they said they were made, but basically sauteed with some shallots, there was some cream, and then some Honey Jack Whiskey.  It's served up on a pile on a plate with extra sauce, and some garlic bread slices to eat with the mushrooms and soak up any extra sauce.  Delicious!  Then, we had the pulled pork nachos.  They were awesome too!  But, didn't finish them because by this time, we were wayyy to full.  We sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful since it was our first time there.  She was very pleasant and on top of our drinks.  We even got a little tour of the smoker out back which meant we had to walk through the kitchen...which from what I remember, was very clean.
  
  The second time I went was with another friend.  I was all excited because of my first experience there.  But this time around, it was almost the complete opposite.  We ordered the wings again...same sauce and everything.  This time around they were so black and charred and were super dry.  They tasted terrible.  We also ordered the 'Jacked Up Mushrooms' again.  Those were also pretty dry as well.  There was hardly any sauce on them.  The sauce is what made the dish!  My friend also ordered a side of Mac & Cheese.  I'm a huge Mac & Cheese fan but this stuff tasted like it sat in a warmer all day.  It was very dry...barely any 'cheesyness' to it.  Very blah too.  The bartender was nice, and I'm sure she meant well, but was quite annoying.  She tried clearing our plates before we were done, asking if we wanted the bill while I had a mouthful of food and wing sauce everywhere, and then tried to take the bill 'to get us some change' before we had even looked at it.  I don't know if she was in some sort of a hurry or what, but we weren't and it was no where near closing time.
  
  I do want to go back one more time to make a final decision on whether or not I'll be more of a regular customer or not.

  Had lunch this week there to check out the new BBQ and was pleasantly surprised.  It's nothing fancy, but good BBQ joints never are.  The pulled pork was awesome - didn't even need sauce, though the 3 varieties offered were a nice addition.  I ordered the baked beans as a side and my friend ordered the mac n cheese.  My beans could have cooked a little longer but next time I would definitely order the mac n cheese.  Yum.  Others there said the brisket was great; will have to try that the next time.
  
  So if you're in Burlington and need a place to eat, maybe skip Fred's and try the new BBQ joint at the old Brickyard.  Your taste buds won't be disappointed.

  The server was decent at best, but the kitchen took forever. It's smoked meats, there is no cooking time and took 35 min for our meal. The pulled pork was drier and not very flavorful. The brisket is the best thing going for them. I kind of recommend it, but it was not cooked quite long enough, still a tad tough (or cooked at too high of a heat). Overall though the experience sucked, slow service, mid grade food at a premium bbq price, and very skunky corona. I do not recommend this place till they figure their business out.
