I've heard a lot of good things about the Market BBQ. Word is the food is exceptional. The decor is also nice, it actually has an old german pub type feel to it. Its a fun place on the weekends and its usually pretty busy. Also, most booths have their own jukeboxes on the table featuring golden oldies classics. The place is huge on the inside, so don't worry about ever getting a seat somewhere. Each room is unique and special in its own way, like each of you! I think the food is a little pricey, but that’s just my opinion...

Not sure how anyone can complain about the ribs here being expensive when a half-rack is larger than a school cafeteria tray! No joke; I can't see how any human of any size can finish the half-rack of beef ribs and the fries, slaw and Texas toast (yes, REAL, buttery, amazing Texas toast) and it is so totally worth the $16 (maybe $18?) price. It will easily feed you a few times over. There are good drink prices, a large beer selection with many local craft brews and an AMAZING dessert list with 10+ choices (I've tried 6 or 7 and never been disappointed).

Only been there one time and won't be back soon. Their menu includes sandwiches and a seperate section which I think was titled "super sandwhiches". Anyway, my girlfriend and I each ordered the super sandwiches and there was nothing super (or even good ) about them. I could have eaten 3 of them. My girlfriend NEVER finishes her whole meal but she did it easily here. $12 for 1? Seriously?

every friday night there is a FREE techno/house/dnb event. We've hosted international recording artists like ian lehman, web of deception, james hammer, dj boris, and many many more local heroes...like christian james, easyrider, silent paul, joe dfx, nick merchant, frakture, kylewyld, and more than I can even remember at this point! Complain if you like about the food, but we throw a damn good party with no dress code and no attitude. Contact patrick berry on face book for bookings and more info.

We had a decent experience overall, but the food is horribly overpriced. $27 for a rack of ribs?! It does come with a side of McDonald's french fries, extra onion cole slaw, and mediocre texas toast but that doesn't come close to covering the cost. I don't mind spending a little extra $ for a nice dining experience but $68 for two people to eat off a McDonald's tray (not kidding!) and a red/white plastic picnic table cloth is not worth it imo. Your money is better spent at Rudolph's or FD's.

maybe the bar isn't anything too special but the food is phenomenal and its what keeps me coming back. Try the smoked chicken wings or the smoked pork chops, unreal!
