First of all I want y'all to know their was ONE man working and he did a fabulous job. This is a hidden gem in DSM! This man was doing everything and his system was down so we had to go get cash and he told us how much ever the fee was he would take off! Like went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience ????. Which we did. Everything tasted great and was so delicious! I love the Mac and cheese! Fiancé and me are stuffed!

Best baked beans I’ve ever had....period. I had the turkey and as others have stated it wasn’t edible. I was forced to throw it away in trash. I don’t know 100% but I’m thinking that the “honey butter” might of been what ruined it- gave off a pungent rancid stench that I couldn’t force myself to eat. The steak fries were partially cooked and over salted, really wanted to like this place , but it wasn’t possible. Hopefully stu will make the changes needed to be a success.

I hit the Merle Hay Mall food court and was undecided what I was going to eat. After sitting down for a few minutes and watching what other people were getting I decided I wanted bbq. So I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with steak fries. I got cheese on my fries. The sandwich was great. Better than I was expecting since it is in a mall food court. The fries weren't bad either. I'm glad I went with Stu's BBQ!
