Wow!! I just wish we lived closer so we could come more often. This place was amazing to eat at during vacation. Me and my husband shared the brisket and tri tip. Both were phenomenal but we liked the tri tip a little more. The sides were delicious as well!! We tried the Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese, and creamy corn YUM!!! Our waiter was so friendly and great and letting us know what was more popular and she really helped us enjoy our food. We will have to visit again and eat here!!

Hole Smokes is the best! Andrea is amazing—always friendly and welcoming. The BBQ wings are hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and my go-to is the Web Salad. Consistently great food and service every single time.

Went a few weeks ago, was craving bbq saw this was near me. We order the platter that has ribs, chicken, brisket, sausage, I dont remember what else but it was over $150. Food was cold, the flavor was lacking, overall was disappointed payed a lot of money for cold bbq.

I originally wanted to order the Meat for Two combo without the sides and with extra meat instead. I've been to other BBQ spots where that's never been an issue, but that wasn't the case here.
So I went with ordering the meats individually, thinking it wouldn't be a problem. When the food was brought out, there were pickled vegetables on the plate, something I was never told about when placing my order.
What really bothered me was that after I pointed it out, no one offered to fix it or even acknowledge the mistake. It was a frustrating experience, especially since a little communication and customer care could have made all the difference.
Make it right.

Stumbled on this restaurant which combines Mexican with BBQ. The elote was incredible!
Place took over from closed hole mole however the tacos there are terrible. Since the meat is the problem the burritos are probably also terrible too.

Came to pickup an online order and they wanted me to verify I gave name and the exact order. The guy looked at it knew it was mine and said he still needed more verification. I asked what more verification does he need and he couldn’t even tell me. So the manager walks by and at first says I can handle it but they still insisted they needed more verification even though they weren’t telling me what to see. I went to pull up the receipt from my bank account before realizing I did pickup through Uber eats and after showing the Uber eats receipt she goes I don’t see ur name on it. Felt I was getting profiled and it was quite honestly ridiculous so after realizing they were doing too much she gave me the food and I said “aye yai yai” in a joking way and walked out with a smile on my face because I knew they were being a bit racist, and once again ridiculous, just genuinely a weird encounter. This older female manager then comes outside as I’m getting into my car and screams about a full minute later, WHAT DID YOU SAY? WHAT DID YOU SAY? I looked at her speechless in disbelief and just smiled and got in my car. Never seen a customer service worker lose it like that over absolutely nothing. Also didn’t know saying aye yai yai after being held up for five minutes and getting racist vibes from employees warranted that kind of crashout. She must have been extremely bored and sad. I was hoping it was maybe one of those places where the service sucks cuz the food is great but it was genuinely also the worst bbq I’ve ever had, way too salty. Saltiest and worst flavor on a brisket I’ve ever had. I understand there’s protocols to go by but they were doing too much and then exiting the restaurant you work for to go in the parking lot to yell at a customer is just senseless. The Mac n cheese and ribs were okay but price wise and portion wise nothing is worth it. If you like fatty, poorly seasoned, and low quality bbq this is the place to go.

My husband and I were at the dealership across the street and could smell the deliciousness. I am so glad we decided to go in. Everyone was so friendly and inviting, they had the World Series on and were playing trivia! I even scored some swag (super cute beanie)! Everyone pitched in to serve us and the food was amazing! Thank you!!

I do not recommend. Came in August 2024. SERVICE: Walked in and had to ask bartender to place order. Customers should be greeted, even if busy, which they were not. PRICES: Overpriced, especially for quality and Portion-size (I guess I’m used to real TX BBQ…or any Midwest state). They have a Happy Hour, so I can’t say much on that, but perhaps better. Three people were in at the bar for it, but they didn’t seem thrilled. FOOD: She told me the cornbread was delicious, but I am not a fan of burned food. The brisket was fatty, somehow still dry and had a char burned taste to it. The Mac n cheese was flavorless and I hope the crumbs on top were not from the floor. The fries were also flavorless and cold (if fresh they should be still warm for the distance driving home).
