The Saturday August 13th edition of the Oneonta Daily Star featured an article on BBQ & grilling. Frank was one of the local Q owners (along with the owners of Andres Blue Ribbon and Brooks’s House of Bar-B-Q in Oneonta & Redneck Bar-B-Que in Cooperstown).

You can read the full feature in the Daily Star’s Lifestyle August 13th Lifestyle section or online at the Daily Star website.

Much has been made of the devastation in the Catskills due to Irene. Make no mistake – it is massive. Towns have been destroyed – house wiped out – businesses gone. Relief efforts are under way, but we should not lose sight of that fact many businesses are still open & need your patronage in the coming weeks.

Check out our Open In The Catskills Page for a list of places to get food in the area. This is by no means a definitive list. If you have additions, please send them to the Hut via our Contact Page. We’ll do our best – in the midst of running our own local business – to keep things up to date here…

A little smoked turkey for your holiday viewing pleasure.

We will be closed on Thursday November 25th to celebrate Thanksgiving with some friends. We will be back slinging Q on Friday November 26th at our new opening time 11AM.

We are thankful for all the great support we’ve gotten since re-opening in Andes & all the area Q fans. We hope you have a happy holiday & we’ll see you this weekend.

We received an email this morning with the following line in it:

“Why don’t you tell everyone how you don’t like the locals and you don’t need them.”

Nothing could be further from the truth. Hey, we like the skiers that have been through. The hotel guest have been nothing but gracious. But when it comes down to it, our best and most rewarding experiences have been with the locals. We know we need the locals and are glad for every one that comes through our doors.

We strive to give every one a great meal at a great price in a clean and friendly environment regardless of where they come from. We don’t feel the need to talk about local vs non-local.

We believe in the local economy so much that we funded this entire restaurant with our own money and a small loan from a friend. We did not take funding from any other business or organization. We chose to open this business in Roxbury because this is where we live, we love it here and intend to live here the rest of our lives.

So you can believe the lies and rumors or stop by, have some great BBQ and find out the truth.

A massive Cha Cha Hut “Thank You” to the many local & visiting BBQ fans who braved the nasty snow-slush-ice-rain-lasagna mix of precipitation to get some hot BBQ on a cold winter night. You helped us have a great night & made the evening fly by.
