I hit this spot while on vacation on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls in late June 2017. Those who know me, know I know my bbq, and I'm sayin' these guys know.what they're doing.
The atmosphere was great. Staff was friendly. A family friendly atmosphere. A musician was playing family appropriate pop / rock songs on his acoustic guitar. The decor was a combo of throwback southern advertising mixed with tie in sports memorabilia ( pictures if original six arenas, old baseball stadiums, etc). The side window rolls up (like a garage door), and we enjoyed the summer air while dining.
My bro-in-law got a burger, which they tout also as a specialty, and it was great. I, of course, ordered a combo plate. The ribs were fall off the bone, not overly smoked, and served in dry rub fashion, as it should be; the bark of the ribs was perfect, another coveted mark of rib competence. The quarter chicken was juicy, not dry, and it too had a nice bark on the skin, which I ate, and usually do not.
The key thing here to note, though, is that Jeffros states they are a northern spin on southern bbq, and that's exactly what we got. While the food was traditionally southern as described above, with that was the main bbq sauce that was more ketchup-y (not so much a fan of, but the spicy bbq sauce by itself or mixed with the main was on point), and that plus the creamy Cole slaw were definitely northern touches on bbq fare.
Overall, you get what you were longing for in bbq, plus enjoy something different while traveling abroad. Lastly, you won't need to shell out money for parking, so spring for the full rack instead of the half!
In summary, hitting this spot was worth the effort, the price comparable to chain bbqs, but the experience unique enough that we won't forget. Try it if you're out that way; you'll be coming back if you're out that way again.
What an amazing little place. We went a week ago and I had the brisket platter. I've never had brisket so tender, the knife was only required to cut thru the small amount of fat. As a matter of fact it was so good we made the trip from Hamilton today to have lunch. The Brisket and Swiss sandwich was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

Just AMAZING. I have cravings for real bbq all the time and had no idea this place even existed! Now i have a reason to drive all the way from Port Colborne to the Falls. My husband had tried their burger one day when I had a show at the Seneca Queen Theatre and had since raved about it. So we came by with some friends and I had the pulled pork, probably the best iv'e ever had, even the side dishes of baked beans and coleslaw blew my mind, they just had something different about them that made them taste better than anyone else. I also really liked the fact that the owners were on-site, Jeff was actually the chef, both were really welcoming nice people and our server Miranda was excellent. Don't expect super fancy decor or lavish bathrooms, but who cares because you are there for great food right? Home made, fresh, and the pricing is very fair. Highly recommend it and we will absolutely be back!
