Wanted to check them out since I seen they opened close to me and I have to say the ribs are absolutely delicious! I'm so happy to have a good genuine BBQ joint close to home! Roadhouse ain't got nothing on those ribs will definitely be back!

Hidden Gem y’all. Don’t sleep on visiting this restaurant. Everyone in our party of 5 loved their food. My husband and I got the half rack of ribs (which were packed with so much meat and fall off the bone, sticky, sweet flavor ) My sons went with the pork-a-roni-rito and my 16 year old said it slaps. The Mac and cheese was the most flavorful, cheesy, smoky bite. My daughter-in-love went for the pulled chicken sandwich drizzled in their homemade sweet bbq sauce. Even though we were stuffed I’m glad we didn’t skip out on dessert. We tried the banana pudding, apple cobbler à la mode, and brownie à la mode. Everything was perfectly cooked. The decor was so charming. The staff provided excellent service. If you are à BBQ lover you’ll definitely want to check out Dorky Porky.
