Meh…
The fries were good…
Had ribs and they were tough and a little fatty… not really what I was looking for but if that’s your style then this is the place for you! Just maybe don’t get ribs…

This is my favorite local place for BBQ spare ribs. Big meaty smoked ribs. No overly salty rub here just smokey goodness. They have three sauces on the table my favorite being the «Gold». I always get the all you can eat ribs and fish (pollock) and have never been disappointed. I’ve had so-​so mushy fish at many local restaurants but not here, very good. Some of the sides are a bit generic but the meat makes up for it in spades. Home made pie is also excellent and they usually have about 10 to choose from. My wife says that their chicken strips are really good but I may never find out because as I may have mentioned I am CRAZY over the ribs and fish. I deducted one star for the couple of times that I have had lazy waitresses that liked to hang out behind the counter but this is the exception not the norm. Also, expect nothing fancy here the place just looks like a diner but you CAN expect good food.

Came in late and ordered pork and beef brisket to go. They messed up the order, charged me more for the brisket, but gave me 2 pulled pork sandwiches instead. I could understand a mistake if they were busy, but the place was DEAD. I wouldn’t have minded if they were good, but the pork was BONE DRY. The to-​go box had literally 1 tbsp of super peppered BBQ sauce for the whole order –big disappointment. The coconut pie was good, but unless you’re looking for pie, drive on by.

We had spied this place before and decided to give it a shot. The prices are so cheap. Like 1970s cheap. I went with the all you can eat catfish and spare ribs, and one serving was about all I could eat. To my surprise, the catfish was my favorite. It was fresh and flaky outstanding. The sides are really good also. Can’t wait to go back!

YUM. This is my #1 choice for Southern food in Marion. Hush puppies, fried okra, cheeseburger or pulled pork sandwich… Order whatever you like best, it’s all going to be delicious and VERY inexpensive. It’s probably a good thing they don’t have a drive thru window anymore… That fried okra goes straight to my hips! A+ I’m always excited when my father in law requests this place for lunch on his visits here.

Very good cheap country cookin. They have very good fresh BBQ and homemade pies. I personally like the smoked turkey sandwich. They are very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. They even have a drive thru if you call your food in ahead of time.

My husband (fiancé at the time) and I were on an intense search for the best BBQ, specifically pulled pork, that we could find to have catered at our wedding in Creal Springs. After trying every BBQ place within a 45 minute radius, we crowned KB the winner! Honestly, their gold sauce is some of the best we’ve ever had. The chow (rather than slaw) on top was a new concept to us until we had tried a lot of southern IL BBQ places, but KB does an excellent job with it. Their pulled pork certainly has more bark than a lot of the other local places. To this day, we still have wedding guests talk to us about their Texas Potatoes. We greatly enjoyed the corn nuggets and hush puppies as well. Kevin (the owner) personally catered our wedding, and he did a great job. His price was extremely reasonable and he was very easy to work with and very down to earth. If you’re looking for a BBQ caterer in the area (or even just outside of it), KB is definitely worth checking out. Try their pulled pork with chow and gold sauce, get a side of Texas potatoes, drink some sweet tea, and finish your meal with one of their mouthwatering desserts; then you’ll see for yourself!

This restaurant provides the best food in Southern IL. Great southern cooking with excellent barbeque. The catfish is to die for!!! If you are in the area and want local great southern cooking then visit this restaurant.

Clean, great service, and great food. Very good homemade chow, and they have sliced barbeque, which I prefer over a shredded barbeque sandwich.
Love the sliced barbeque sandwich with chow.
