Went there on March 10th. 1st time in years and food was great .7 I had the muganator burger - three 1/4 pound patties with bacon and cheese. My friend had grilled tenderloin. And we split sweet potato waffle fries and we each had a milk shake. Also I know that their beef comes from Tyner Pond Farm out in Greefield and most of their food is local. Look forward to going back and trying the pulled pork fries and their different hand scooped ice creams. Staff was very friendly too.

Really good food. Do them a favor when they are busy though. If you have a common name, check the order is actually yours before you take it!

The trip north led me to The Mug specifically for a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. This place didn’t disappoint!! Talking with the waitress, she said that they locally sourced the pork and had cut and prepare the tenderloins onsite. If I lived here, I would make multiple visits per week.

The food here is amazing and is local. We all tried the pulled pork fries with coleslaw. So tasty! I also got to try the caramel cookie dough shake. Definitely recommend! Their BBQ sauce is so good, I wish they would bottle it and sell it.

Great BBQ and sides, big portions, good pricing and friendly folks. As the sign says, the wait might be longer because the food is fresh. There was a wait but it was a pleasant wait because everyone was so nice.

Nice drive-in. Portions are honorable for the price charged. Food is good. With the sloppy joe, it wasn't sloppy. Nice sweet taste. The garlic fries were different. I'm used to garlic powder. This had minced garlic. :) Chicken sandwich... meat was cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese... good. Happy.

This place was a great find for my husband and me. The food and service were equally outstanding. I love that their meats are sourced locally. Everything on the menu sounded good, but my husband opted for the breaded tenderloin and onion rings. I got the jalapeno cream cheese bacon burger and the garlic parmesan fries. I even got a root beer float that tasted like childhood. We couldn't finish everything, so we look forward to enjoying our leftovers. Absolutely scrumptious. Highly recommend. 45 minutes from home, but no problem. We will be back.

Cool little place next to the park and pool. Tenderloin was excellent. It was meaty inside. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside on the picnic table. Looks like you could also set in your car and order. They had a menu and speaker at each parking spot...

We have ordered from here 3 times now and this is my new favorite restaurant! The brisket, the pulled chicken, the ribs, the wings, and even the sides are phenomenal. I want to watch the bbq master so I can learn the tricks! Awesome awesome smoke flavor! No need for any sauce!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely worth the drive — I’d say these cheeseburgers are hands-down the best in the state! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Mug has that classic hometown feel with amazing food to match. If you haven’t been yet, make your way to The Mug — you won’t regret it! We’ll definitely be back!
