When You’re Happy, We’re Happy

This place is awesome! The food is amazing and affordable. I live a few hundred feet from the “little red garage” where the smokers are. I looked out side today and above the garage written in smoke was “Dan you need to get over here and eat” DELICIOUS!!

BBQ and Baker – Coal City

Yummy! I had the flavorful chili with cornbread, creamy mac and cheese, and a s’mores bar for dessert — everything was delicious. The flavors were spot on, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into each dish. A great addition to the Coal City restaurant scene — can’t wait to go back and try more!

Congratulations Tracey Baker!!

- Cliffhanger sammidge

- Side of slaw

-Gooey S'mores bar for take-home dessert as a last minute add

When we say this is happy belly food, it's absolutely no lie. Only problem is that I think we're going to end up sleeping here, cuz now we can't move.

Everything is delicious, so get your butts down to Coal City, stat!
