Brisket Meat was cold both mine and my husband's were. The only thing good was the baked potato which isn't saying much. We tried the brisket twister side, it wasn't good either. It was cold as well. Overall, extremely disappointed especially for the price. Definitely not worth the $40 especially for very little food. Potato all the way isn't what you think it is either. It's not a true loaded, it's skimpy at best. Will not be returning.

Seems like a really solid place overall and like it could be excellent on most occasions, but the brisket that we got was primarily fat rather than meat. Also, the ice cream machine was broken when we went (night after the 2024 eclipse), like McDonald's or something.

I was truly disappointed in this place, hence my low ratings. When you go in you will look at the menu on the wall, place your order as you begin to walk thru the line. For me, a BBQ baked potato means a hot cooked potato with BBQ meat of choice, sauce, then lots of melting butter and all the toppings on top, but not this place! You must first select your choice of meat, which was not hot, maybe room temperature if you're lucky, then you are asked what sides. So if you think you are going to get a steaming hot baked potato, you don't! Mine was cold, very little butter which could not melt anyway and all toppings were like fresh outta freezer on top. So nope, if you're looking for a mouth watering BBQ baked potato, you, like me will be extremely disappointed. There seemed to be very little seasoning on their meats and the sides were lukewarm. And we had a wheelchair person with us, so when I asked could we please get help with carrying trays, one would have thought I had asked them to do some hard work. The cashier said no AARP discounts, which was almost seemingly disrespectful really. And the woman behind the counter at the Ice Cream center was so busy trying to answer the phone and getting out Door dash orders that she was a little rude and condescending. Then to add insult to the already way over priced meal of over $70 for 3, with one being that poor excuse for a BBQ baked potato, they charged for ice cream cones., with small being $3. We decided that with small coming at $3, we wouldn't ask about a large. So, with no service with a smile, no Thank you Please Come Agains, I felt a return visit for me was not going to be forthcoming any time soon nor far future!Parking: Lots of free parking, but only one wheelchair accessible ramp anywhere sorta close to front door. You will have to hope it's not poring down rain or blizzard cold because the handicap parking and ramp are on the other side of the restaurant. They failed to truly consider the handicap when designing the parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Only one ramp at the side of the building, otherwise you must hope you are strong enough to get wheelchair up and over the high sidewalk curb. Good luck!

The taste of the beef and turkey was excellent.If you want to try everything better go by a pound mixing all meats. The smoked beans are so sweet for my taste. The cold tead in the drinks fountain was ok ?. Prices are

The food has lost some quality, the brisket had more fat than meat and the pork was extremely dry.

Well, I was going to give them a 4 because I only had the brisket sandwich and was going to wait till I tried the ribs but decided against it. I picked this one to try, because someone from Texas said it was good. They were right. Wasnt sure about the lightly toasted, over buttered bun, but it was really good. I also thought it looked a little foofoo, but I overlooked it and I am glad I did. The meat was tender and juicy and well smoked. Will definitely be adding it to the rotation. The sides of fries and corn was also good.
