“ Brisket sandwich with seared potato salad . Cleaned my plate ! Definitely stop by again for lunch..... Beware spicy mustard take your breath away but was yummy...lol ”
“ This is a well known place in the Belleville area.We don't live close so we rarely go here but we had a gift card to use, so here we are.When you walk in there is a self serve kiosk but when I asked if I was supposed to use this,the young lady happily said I can just take your order here.We both went for the brisket plate with two sides.I had fries and beans with pork belly.All the soft drinks were from the local brewery offering SKI products.Another local gem.The food came out quick enough and was good qaulity.The only surprise was the bill for 2.Just wasn't expecting that much but this is not a fast food place and we ordered Brisket,which is probably the most expensive meat.There are cheaper options available. I posted.below pictures of the menu and the food. ”
“ Entrees: The Brisket comes either lean or fatty. I ordered the lean and definitely enjoyed the smoky flavor, but since it was lean I did add some sauce on top so that it wouldn't be dry. I really liked it with the Texas Chainsaw sauce that they have. The Kielbasa was a standard kielbasa and crispy on the outside, which I always like a crunch. Sides: The Brussel Sprouts were super crispy just the way I like them, but also salty which I know is probably most people's preference. The Cheddar Mac was very creamy and cheesy, topped with breadcrumbs for a crunch. Dessert: The Banana Puddin' is a must for dessert! Topped with caramel and chocolate chips. I had to bring most of it to-go because I was so full, but they already serve it in a lidded container almost like they know that it's too much for one meal. Yea this place is delicious and worth a detour. ”

“ Absolutely incredible BBQ spot! Beast Craft BBQ Co. nails it on every level — from flavor to vibe. We tried the ribs, brisket, wings, and several sides, and everything was top-tier. The brisket was tender and juicy with the perfect bark, and the ribs had that sweet heat glaze that makes you go quiet while eating (you know the kind). The mac & cheese was creamy with a crispy topping, and the Brussels sprouts? Outrageously good. They’ve got a great selection of sauces on every table and plenty of local craft drinks in the fridge. The space has a casual, industrial vibe with chalkboard art and a butcher shop aesthetic. Service was fast and friendly. Plenty of seating, and it’s a great place for groups or casual bites. 20 S Belt W, Belleville, IL Highly recommend if you’re anywhere near the Metro East.

“ It was the first time my son and tried this place and we were not disappointed, service was quick and friendly, we each ordered the 2 meat plate. The pulled pork was very good,the brisket to me was over cooked and dry but had a good flavor. I loved the beans very tasty! I even took some home!The Cole slaw was also very good and different. We will definitely be going back I can see why the place was so busy, good food and great service. ”
“ Food was amazing! Pork steak was so tender I didn’t need a knife. Mac n cheese and candy bacon were delicious, staff is super friendly. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. You have to give it a try, you won’t be disappointed! ”
“ Went inside around 755p. Discovered that they were about to close at 8, and not 9 as Google specified. But the gentleman at the counter said that I could still place an order with no problem. I ordered the well-fed best for 2. While I was waiting, he offered cups of tea that were delicious. The decor is nice, I like the soda cap theme. The food was ready pretty quickly. He was graciously thanked as well as the kitchen staff. Now when I got the food opened and ate..OMG!! every bite of food was AMAZING and flavorful. The beans, the slaw, the Mac and the potato salad are to die for! If you have not eaten here you are definitely missing out like I was. I will absolutely return and eat (they even have literal doggy bags for pets and I thought that was awesome) ”
