I eat here for work lunches and family dinners often. It is a great atmosphere and one of the few places in town you can get waited on with a smile. I have tried everything. My favorite options- pulled pork, smoked chicken, prime rib, ribs and wings. All are very flavorful and fork tender. My favorite sides- cole slaw- not your run of the mill cole slow; baked beans - a good spicy kick. If I feel like cheating a bit I go for the nachos. They are a nice twist to nachos...pulled meat on tortilla chips (must be a whole bag of chips), fixins and a really tasty buffalo sauce. Prices are very reasonable for good barbecue. If you are in town this should be top on your list to try.

We used to go here a few years ago, and it wasn't too bad. Then they changed the menu and service. We've been there twice since they did this, and will not be back. We went with a group of 12, on Thursday evening. They were in chaos the entire time. We waited about 20 minutes for our order to be taken. Then another 30 or so to get our food. Then some orders were wrong, some not complete, etc. Now, to the food. 4 people got hamburgers, guess they forgot to order anything on them, cause they came just plain dry hamburgers. Then they didn't get their frys, had to wait on them to be cooked. 3 got the pulled pork, which was good, but some of the sides were not very tasty. And all said a roll, cornbread or texas toast was needed. One person got the loaded nachos, and they were very good. I got the special of the night, prime rib manhattan--sounds good right--I could barely eat it. First the gravy was way to salty, and it just over powered the entire thing so that I couldn't even taste the meat or potatoes. I should have sent it back, but I was very hungry, and didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. I was still hungry when I left as I couldn't eat much of it. Our total bill came to $152 which comes out to about 13.50 per person, and 4 got cheeseburgers, and 1 child a hotdog. The only good thing, he did take 25% off our bill because of the lousy service.

I and my girlfriend went to Robinson for the basketball tournament. I had never been in Robinson before this little trip. it is a nice little illinois town. we ended up going to Back Porch Smoke House for lunch. I must say they have a nice decor that i really liked and their service was good too. on the other hand, their food quality was very very bad. we got all-you-can-eat fish deal. they had 2 fish choices and we had both. i and my girlfriend thought that we had sand in our mouths while eating their breaded fish. so, we decided to go for smoked fish. they should chance its name from smoked fish to fish-jerky!!!! i felt like i was chewing a big rubber band while i was eating their smoked fish. i wish i ordered a burger or something like that. oooh well.....

The first suggestion I got from Google Places turned out to be a great one. A pulled pork sandwich with a large helping of fries and a drink came to a reasonable $7.50. They had a choice of three BBQ sauces on the table. It kind of reminded me of Bandana's, which is a good thing. The service was great as well. I'll definitely be back. I hope Places always comes up with such good suggestions.

Over-cooked meat, mediocre service at best, and now they've cut the menu, make you get your own drink, have to order at the counter, and stopped serving the rolls & butter. Bet the place will be closed in six months. Never did think the place was anything special, and it just went down hill.
