The “Between The Buns” section of the menu is equally enticing, offering BBQ Sandwiches where you can customize your choice of meat, including Pulled Pork and Smoked Turkey.

First time visiting. Started with Cathy taking our to go order. Extremely sweet, pleasant and professional. Ordered ribs, burnt ends and wings with an assortment of sides. Everything was absolutely awesome! Our new favorite BBQ spot. Looking forward to eating “in” next time. Thank you!!

We have been to Davis BBQ many times and this was our first time trying the new menu. It did not disappoint. My husband got the two meat platter and absolutely loved it. The burnt ends were amazing, perfectly tender with just the right amount of bark. He chose gouda mac and cheese and cucumber salad as his sides and I definitely stole some bites. Both were delicious. We were so happy to see Sylvia again. The kids love her. She was incredibly helpful, answering all of our questions about allergens and making great sauce recommendations. She clearly knows the menu well and made us feel really taken care of. Chloe was right by her side helping too! I had the Shroom and Swiss burger and it was to die for. Cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were tender and juicy. Sylvia told us it is made with 100 percent locally sourced Certified Angus Beef which is such a nice surprise to find in this area. Our only complaint is that the keto bowl and turkey bowl are no longer on the menu. They were nice and light as opposed to the 2 bowls curently on the menu. Still, with local BBQ this good, we cannot wait to come back!

They were so busy and apologized to us so many times - we elected to stick it out and so glad we did! This place is fantastic. The wings were my favorite. Next time I'm getting the brisket.

My husband and I visited the restaurant today for lunch. We traveled from Boston but the nearly 1 hour drive was well worth it. The service and food were excellent. My husband ordered the ribs 1/2 slab w/hickory pit beans and french fries and for me the keto bowl adding bacon and crispy onions. The smoky flavor of the ribs and chicken was superior to what we expected. If you enjoy the smoky flavor of meats, this is the place for you. We will definitely visit them again! Muy bueno!

Burnt ends and fried corn bread were amazing. They have 3 different kinds of BBQ sauce to chose from with 2 other types of sauce (campfire sauce is very mild, good for dipping fries in. Then they had a very spicy sauce that added some extra heat when mixed in with the BBQ sauce options). They have local beer on tap, service was fast, and there was plenty of parking.
