Been wanting to stop and try this place for awhile. Finally made a special trip just to try the bbq today and was not disappointed at all! I tried the sampler and it was some of the best brisket I've ever had and my wife had the cheesy cow. Was a little iffy about it with the combo of food but the combinations of flavors was amazing with it! We will definitely be back soon!!

Just happen to discover this BBQ Restaurant while out for the day on my motorcycle. So glad that I did! Had an amazing 1/2 rack of ribs, cucumber salad and cole slaw. Everything was delicious. I travel quite a bit and frequent BBQ restaurants when doing so. The Meat Hook BBQ is now in my personal top five favorites. The service, food and restaurant atmosphere were all ! No disappointments whatsoever.

I was traveling by and the sign caught my eye at a time of hunger, i just wanted some smoked meat to satisfy my craving but instead i received a religious experience... this place is FENOMENAL!!! I wish it was closer to home but i guess il have to settle with it being my number one spot in the area. Thank you for making my day with your delicious food! :)

Loved it!! If we lived nearby we’d be here every week! Friendly family staff, tasty food, just right sized portions, a GREAT quick REAL meal after an event before heading home 3 hrs away. We will recommend to others in our medieval fighting hobby to stop by when in the neighborhood. There is also cute outdoor patio seating with a little stage. That could be really cool! They also just got an ice cream machine just in time for summer!

The BEST Brisket I have ever had! It melts in your mouth! Such great service and the home made sides are wonderful! In addition to the fast service and amazing food, they have probably the cleanest restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of eating in! We love the family friendly environment and look forward to visiting there every week! This is a must try for everyone!!! You will want to keep coming back for more!!

All the good things I heard about this are so very true. Really good food. Had the brisket and it had amazing flavor. (I'm from Texas so it has my approval) Then I'm assuming it had to have been the owner that was taking care of us. She was the nicest and most genuine human being. Throughly enjoyed Meat Hook.

Loved it! Had the cheesy cow, super crispy fries which helps a dish like that. Brisket was chopped and flavorful. Friend had brisket dinner, very tender. Mac and cheese was excellent and had grrat seasoning.
