This place is amazing, usually when I get BBQ I'm expecting to be underwhelmed but I was so wrong in this instance. Service was great and food was top quality and fast!! I cannot recommend strongly enough to come get something..... anything here, you will not be disappointed.

Brisket is absolutely amazing! Burnt ends are great as well, beer battered onion rings are great and all delicious. We came around 8pm and was slightly empty but did not disappoint.. bartender does know his drinks and does make them well. I live in L.A and all I can say is wow I rather come here for my bbq brisket and more.

Place was not what I expected. Nothing like what the pictures show online. The meat was good but the portions were tiny and served up like I was back in kindergarten. The price did not match the portion size that I expected. The plates were $22 and for 1 miserable extra sausage it was an additional $6. Service was terrible, the young lady wasn’t so bad but the boys working had no manners what so ever, water was being served out of open jugs sitting by the door way with no lids and the ice was sitting outside too in an open container. I received no refills on my soda the entire time I was there. The place was dark and dingy and is not the place they advertise online. First and last time I will visit here.

Super food. GrubHub delivered the wrong order. I called the restaurant and they made a replacement order within 20 minutes without a moment’s hesitation. And the food was super delicious. Fed ten people and next am leftovers were just as good! Thank you.

Great brisket smoked for 14 hours. Very family friendly and the staff clearly were passionate about bbq. After a great conversation on the rubs they use and their smoker setup, I was offered a free sample of one of their rubs. Wonderful, personal experience all around.

This is a legitimate barbecue place out here in the desert. Which seems to be hard to find. The wings were seriously good. They also don't drench their brisket in sauce when you get it. I will be back for sure.

Cancelled my order for no reason after I waited for more than one hour. If you cancel it right away - fine, I get it. If you cancel after one hour(!!), it leaves your customers without an option to order from somewhere else (simply because its too late!). I think its safe to say you guys ruined our evening, so thank you for nothing. I'm really upset ??

I have really enjoyed this place! My wife and I remembered it from 3 yrs ago, we loved it then so we came back. I had wings and bb ribs. Both were very good.I loved their sauce! They need to bottle it and sell it!Service was very good our waiter check on us often and food came out very quick.

One of us really enjoyed the baby back ribs; the other of us thought they were about average. The rub didn't seem very flavorful (more like, well, paprika?). Four BBQ sauces, house made, included a mustardy Kansas City style we didn't care for, a ghost pepper sauce that packed a delayed punch, and Texas and Carolina styles that were OK. Our mac & cheese was OK, as were the cole slaw and the cornbread. Fried onion rings, served really nice and hot, were a highlight. Service was friendly in this small place hidden in a shopping strip. We visited on a rainy midweek evening, so maybe that influenced our assessment. And we were very turned off by the fact that none of the staff were wearing masks during the coronavirus pandemic, apparently flouting city requirements.

Service was extremely slow and not attentive.We were one of two tables at 5:00 during supposedly happy hour. We were charged regular price for drinks ( $3.00 too much).Requested sweetener for tea 5 times before it arrived.Half rack of ribs were barely warm, had to request the onion rings, which were ordered, didn’t receive cornbread, which was included with meal..When and what food we received was good.I would not recommend this establishment.

The BBQ was okay. Nothing too special. They were out of most things when we got there at 7 pm on a Friday night. They had some pretty good sauces on the plus side.

This place is awesome!! Outdoor seating and the best smoked brisket I have ever tasted!! Service was great and my compliments to the chef! You will not be disappointed.

Disapponting!!! Only opened 3 days a week and no burnt ends, small portions, salty brisket, corn bread is a side and it's just a little muffin!! Ribs tiny and fatty, Cole slaw just fair but liked the BBQ beans, pulled pork, and Margarita. The menu was abbreviated so what we were hoping for wasn't even on the menu. Not like what we saw on Triple D!! I would have rather gone to Babe's where you get your money's worth!!

Ordered take out. 4 stars only because several menu options were not available when we called at 5 pm.Food was very good. Had brisket, ribs, and chicken. Brisket was lightly smoked, perfectly tender and moist.Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, but could be more flavorful. Smoked chicken is hard to get right, but this was maybe the best I've had. Flavorful, moist with crisp skin. Sides of beans and slaw were good, but not exceptional. Beans were not sweet (which is good), and slaw not too vinegary. Worth a visit. We will be back.
