Overall bad experience, food was mediocre at best and the service was terrible, drinks were ordered and they never came and the food was either dry or soggy, no in between.

I’ll start by saying this could have been an off night.

We were promptly greeted by a friendly and polite hostess as soon as we walked in and were seated right away. Shortly after, the hostess seated another table and began serving them drinks, then seated yet another table and served them as well. Just as we were getting ready to leave, our waitress finally came over.

We ordered drinks and the Southern Combo. The sides were the standout. The BBQ beans were excellent—smoky, warm, and not overly sweet. The coleslaw was creamy with a nice balance of vinegar.

The meats were tender but didn’t taste smoked. They weren’t very juicy or well-seasoned on their own, but Enzo’s Spicy BBQ sauce definitely helped and added much-needed flavor.

The cornbread was more like a corn cake and leaned more toward dessert than a traditional savory cornbread, which wasn’t quite our preference.

Overall, it’s a great atmosphere for watching sports and they have an impressive beer selection. Like I mentioned at the start, this may have just been an off night, and I’d be open to giving it another try.

This place is great. Daniel G, our server was awesome and super friendly to my kids. Definitely try their Short Rib Pasta, it was to die for. Oh, and their pizza was so delicious. I highly recommend this place. I will be coming back again and again and again and again Next time I’m going to try their barbecue.

I was trying to figure out why this place only had a 4.2. and I still don't know. I give it almost 5 stars. I have eaten here about five times in the last month. And every meal has been pretty good.. the last meal I had here was the pulled pork French fries. (Don't judge me.) The fork was excellent, as always the fries were just fries. But still very good... they have a very large selection of beers. .. I came in to watch the game. And I sat at the bar, and service was friendly and efficient. The food I ordered came out hot. My overall experience was good. And it has been that way every time I've been here. So it's probably not a fluke.. overall. I say it's a good place to go..

The waitress working was lovely and kind. However, the food is disgusting and I only ate it because it was quite expensive. My brisket looked and tasted like it was cooked weeks ago and was reheated, it was VERY dry and tough.

Called at 9:13pm to place an order was told the kitchen is closed? They are open until 930pm. Never heard of other restaurants doing this. They have good food but that's very disappointing.

Over priced for the quality/quantity of food. Bar service lied about having the correct ingredients for my drink. Never going back.

Please don’t eat here. Food is out 4 minutes after ordering. It’s a terrible cafeteria product. Who knows how long ago the meat was actually cooked. Good service. Go for beers. Run from anything cooked.

I’m not a regular customer but I come here often enough to post how great this place is. As someone who routinely cooks his own barbecue, going out for dinner has to really impress me. Enzo’s has no problem with making the best food and pairing it with the right drinks. If you choose to carry out a dinner, it’s also a great option, just don’t expect any leftovers! Cheers!
