Rough Cut Barbeque — Restaurant in Rush Township

I do not like ribs. I've ordered them 1 or 2 times in restaurants & made them once at home. Horrible. To me they were just bone, grizzle & rationed slivers of tough meat. Then....one day the sky opened up, angels fluttered down holding golden platters of meat, and they blessed this earth with Rough Cut Barbeque. I was almost hesitant to try their ribs, but the aroma of that hot smokey goodness convinced me to get over my rib-o-phobia and try one. Life. Changing. Experience. The flavor, the amount of meat on just one rib alone, the absence of everything i hated about ribs, my life once again had meaning!!!! Seriously, i will never find, or try to find, another rib joint because Rough Cut already wins the gold in every category! I look forward to them opening every year and if you've never been there then you're missing out! ALL the menu items...

I don’t love “bbq” and I must say this place is pretty good! You get more food than you can finish and where else can you feed 7 1/2 people for under $100?! Very family friendly with quick service. I love the little sink for clean up. Not a huge fan of using ports-potties but they are the cleanest I’ve ever seen with a hidden area and a “flush” so you don’t see what everyone who visited before you left behind. It could be worse. There’s even a handwashing sink inside. The little market is adorable. There was a guy going around offering to let you cut your own flowers for free since it’s end of season. Kind of a win-win situation and another example of a family owned business loving on...

I look forward to this place every summer! The pulled pork platter is delicious, accompanied with fresh cut fries and choice of baked beans or coleslaw. It's enough to feed two people. Very clean environment with an assortment of side sauces such as creamy horseradish, sriracha, ketchup, and many others in the back, so don't forget to ask! Ribs are huge, and you get a half rack. Assortment of different drinks and birch on tap! Staff is friendly, and service is quick. Outside seating is available and produce shop next door. It's a must try!
