Food- phenomenal Portions- aplenty Beverages- sublime But my experience today was made complete by 2 letters, 3 characters... Dee! Dee has to be a top 3 server on the planet and she's not 2 or 3. There are very few things that make me smile more than good food, and one of those things is the company of my new friend Dee! If you get to be so lucky as to have her be your server, put your phones down, enjoy great company with an even better smile, and the kindness of this great lady!

The portions here offer excellent value! We ordered a sampler platter and a salad, and we had enough left over for dinner that night. We'll definitely be returning before our vacation ends. We highly recommend this place!

Amazing food and pleasant ambiance. Professional service with hardly any waiting, food is served hot. I recommend the barbecue ribs and fried catfish with side of Mac and cheese. Yummy

I ordered beef ribs which I felt wasn't "falling off the bone" so in other words the meat wasn't cooked long enough for it to be as tender. Although it was good. The place needs a renovation with all its old large wooden tables. This much needed renovation would make a more comfortable ambiance.

We came here for a birthday dinner - 5 adults, 1 toddler and 1 baby. We were accommodated with the seating arrangement very quickly. The employees we interacted with were all friendly. I ordered the Alabama Fried Chicken plate with sides of Red Beans & Rice and Braised Cabbage. I found the sides very delicious. The chicken was properly fried, not underdone or overdone and moist inside. The coating they use was just okay for me - nothing memorable to where I would order it again. It was "good" just not great. I tried my son's Rib-Tips and they were just "okay" to me. I know if / when we return here I won't be ordering those. The other 3 adults enjoyed their selections, as did the wee one (toddler) who had an order of Catfish Nuggets and Fries from kid's menu. A few of us ordered cocktails, myself having an Old Fashion. The cocktail I had was very tasty and the others ordered more than one so I am presuming they enjoyed theirs as well. We actually had two birthdays we were celebrating, albeit the birthday boy got to choose the restaurant (birthday girl got to choose earlier in the week). The staff brought each of them a dessert with a candle on top. That was very nice and considerate of them to do that - two thumbs up. They have quite a menu, so it may be hard for me to decide what to select next time. I may try their Brisket, as that is a time consuming process to do at home. However, nobody reading this cares about that - LOL.

Felix BBQ was sold in Oceanside. I thought was excellent several years ago and recently I went on yelp to check it out because I was going to take some friends over there and I read all the poor reviews and I decided not to go there. It's really sad when you have a good businessand can't get good help evidently or good management. I will have to review the one in San Marcos and see if I want to try that one.

While traveling out of town my husband wanted some BBQ, so we browsed on Yelp and found this place. They had Jazzy Tuesday that night and a guy was playing sax. Our little girls were happily dancing to the tune while waiting for our table. It was very busy for a Tuesday night during spring break, but we got seated within 20 mins. We ordered half BBQ chicken, Louisiana Hot link and briskets. For sides we got collard green, sweet potato fries, Mac n cheese and baked beans. We tried their gumbo as well. My 6 year old got kids mini burger (which was actually huge). We were impressed with the food.The BBQ chicken was so flavorful, you can tell it was marinated for 24 hours like they say. My hot link was good, but it was more on the sweet side. The brisket was so tender although just too salty. We got home and made fried rice with the leftover brisket. The gumbo was the highlight of the meal. I also ordered their special Jazzy Tuesday night drink that resembled mai tai and it was good. Our waitress was so sweet; I really wish I asked for her name. Service was great even though they were busy that night. We would definitely visit this place when we're back in town!

Omgoodness!! The service here was absolutely amazing! We were greeted by smiling faces that were eager to assist! Ali was our server and she was wonderful. I'm not really big on BBQ but my husband raved over the ribs tips; greens; baked beans; sausage sandwich; sweet tea, and the corn muffins! I really enjoyed the fried catfish(2); yams; mac&cheese, and muffins. We enjoyed the greens so much we got some to go along with red velvet cake! The restaurant has a country home and family like atmosphere. It is in an ideal location- very close to the hotel we are staying at. I highly recommend Felix!! Give them a try- you won't be disappointed!! We're looking forward to visiting the Lake Elsinore location!

Can't say enough good things about this restaurant! Since we walked in the Customer Service was great. We were told that the weight would be anywhere from half an hour to 35 minutes. We only waited 15 minutes, the food is amazing. The baby back ribs are great. The meat is very tender. The seasoning is on point. The mashed potatoes is also amazing, mac & cheese as well. We drove an hour to enjoy this food and we will definitely be driving back. The ambience was great as well. We appreciate the great hospitality and welcoming!!
