“My go-to spot when I want fresh, solid food!! 🌯 Great portions on the burritos — and the one in the picture is just the regular size… imagine the upgraded burrito 👀🔥

I’m always trying something new there and it’s always worth it. Super friendly staff!!

Cons: the chicken can be a little dry/tough sometimes… and maybe throw in a few more chips plzzzz 🫣🫣“

Brisket

“I’ve just recently discovered ibringdasmoke and I’m glad I did! My first order with them was the smoked brisket…it was so good! I just recently ordered a slab of ribs from them and my friend and I loved it! We got a little sample of the Mexican street corn which was very nice of them. I thought it was ok, but my friend enjoyed it. Their spices and the tenderness of their meats are great as well as their bbq sauce. The meat isn’t overly salty which is great. I have recommended this place to my friends and I will definitely be back!“

“We had a great experience until they called last call. We asked for one more drink when we she said we can only do shots. We purposely wanted mixed shots such as lemon drops and green tea shots. She told us we can only do well shots… really rude and doesn’t make a lot of sense.“

“Went to dinner with a few of my lady friends after seeing a show in the city, this was the perfect ending to a phenomenal day. I had the crab cakes and they were delish, a couple of people in my group had the fried chicken/fried catfish combo and that looks delicious as well. I highly recommend Lizzy’s Cajun Cafe.“
