I went here after finishing up jury duty and ordered the rib tips. The food was great, plus the guy was really friendly and cool. I highly recommend this place.

I literally had to stop laughing to make this post! These pathetic-prebreaded-wings and bottom-of-the-bag fries will have this place closed in no time! Like what did I just pay almost $15 for?! Then the reaction when hubby called back just to let them know will be the straw that closes the doors! How do you get testy when a customer calls back to let you know about how laughable your food is? Relax....no one wanted their money back we were just calling to let you know how trash these expensive prebreaded wings are! YUCK TO IT ALL INCLUDING YOUR ATTITUDE!!! TRASH!

Excellent service was in and out. Gentleman there was very courteous and polite. The food was amazing, by far the best ribs in town. He even threw in some of his wings for us to try, and I won’t be going anywhere else for now on. If I could give him ten stars he would definitely get em. Thank you Wauk up BBQ for an amazingly tasteful experience!!

Spiraled potatoes were crispy and soft at the same time. Smoked wings were delicious and a generous size. I had leftover for my family and they all liked it as well!!

Their ribs are very delicious the meat comes right off the bone just like their smoked wings. I had never tried smoked wings but they are so good. Let’s not forget to mention their fried wings. Everything is GOOD! The service is awesome.
