Probably some of the best bar-b-q I've had, and I'm from the south. Food is consistently good, and although I'm not thrilled with the bar and the cigarette smoke, I can usually squirrel myself away in the dining room and away from it all.    [10 Dec 2002 17:35:45]

Excellent for Takeout
Food is very good but atmosphere stinks, literaly. The bar and dining area are very close so if you go when it is crowded, you can hardly breathe.

I usually get take out. Pulled pork and pulled chicken are yummy and they have great hot peppers.    [10 Jan 2003 18:46:35]

Superb
Wow! New smoke eaters and better dividers between the bar and dining room have eliminated the second hand smoke problem.    [09 Feb 2003 19:28:15]

Great Barbecue
I guess I agree that they could improve on the atmosphere, but the food blew me away! The waitress was really good and funny too. This place is a hidden gem.    [12 Feb 2003 00:02:40]

Consistently Good
This place rivals any bbq joint in the state. It is consistently good, the pulled pork is excellent and the sauces are just right. Another interesting twist, the other specials are good too!    [26 Jul 2003 17:14:07]

Renovated '05
Charming renovation fixes ambiance problems of the past. Raised prices a bit. BBQ as good as ever. Very consistent. Service pleasant. You'll get your money's worth.    [05 Jul 2005 17:27:54]

Love the New Building
This new renovation took care of all the old problems. The food is still outstanding and now it has a building to match.    [25 Dec 2005 18:49:41]

A New Restaurant
When the state banned smoking the Horseshoe changed totally. A lot less character and a lot higher prices - but you don't come home smelly.    [25 Jun 2006 17:54:07]
