Visited this spot because of previous reviews, and those were incorrect! Ordered brisket, ribs, and mac n cheese, which were luke warm. Sauces were not good. Wish I could give a better review. But, unfortunately, it was disappointing.

First time coming here. I pass it all the time and decided to give it a try yesterday. Pulled pork burger was dry af, what sauce was on the meat was barely anything to give it any taste and honestly the fries were too. Idk what they put on them, tasted like a mix between sugar and salt? And by the time i got home (was only a few minutes) the fries were plain luke warm, not hot, but luke warm. But the service was okay and so was the portion. Might go back in the future but this isnt somewhere id go for a good food night out unfortunately.

Pretty good BBQ. Pork ribs are decent & the chicken is excellent.

Saw this place on TikTok & was expecting it to be true to the video. Unfortunately, the brisket was dry as heck and the ribs were not fall off the bone as stated. Somewhat dry too & definitely a bite & pull like crazy. Service & staff were awesome but I’m not sure if this was just an off day for them but the food was dry & not hitting. Definitely a one & done for me.

Tried this place for the first time after seeing it hyped up on TikTok, but honestly, it was pretty underwhelming. Definitely a case of “looks can be deceiving.”

We ordered the brisket and Mary’s chicken with white BBQ sauce, along with Mexican corn, coleslaw, pickled onions/pickles, and cornbread. The kids had the pulled pork sliders with fries. Unfortunately, everything was super bland. No seasoning at all. The bread was hard and dry, and there weren’t many sauce options to help bring the food to life. The only thing that somewhat saved my meal was the spicy BBQ sauce, which tasted more like mild.

Surprisingly, the fries were the best part of the meal—crispy and seasoned well, unlike everything else. Honestly, even Famous Dave’s would be a better choice.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt really let down after all the hype. Just wanted to share my experience.

Over priced trash!

3rd time here and I was hoping each time would improve but it didn’t . I brought my son and we split a Nashville Chicken sando and the family bbq with brisket and pulled pork. Everything came in warm except the BBQ Beans and they were served hot. The pulled pork was severely dried out, and didn’t even taste like it was smoked! The brisket had way too much fat, they need to do a better job trimming the fat off prior to smoking. The Nashville chicken sando was dry and flavorless… this is the last time I take a suggestion from an Instagram foodie that was probably paid to say it was good… The BBQ sauce they make inhouse… is horrible…Also, when I placed the order, and was using apple pay, the cashier said “please complete the screen”, I looked and it was for tips… It suggested I tip $10 because the BBQ was $90…when I clicked no tip, she seemed to not like that. I mean she literally did her job and taken my order. How is that worthy of a tip? Smh

I’ve never been so disappointed…. I should’ve listened to my gut and went to Winchester BBQ.

My brother and I stopped by this restaurant because of tiktok, and they did not disappoint. We order the 4 meat plate with 2 sides. And the food was good. The person who helped us order was super friendly, and when we didn't know what to order, he helped us out. The place was busy at all maybe because the weather was super nice that day and it was a Saturday which was weird but good for us. The food came out pretty quick and was really good. I'd recommend this place to friends and family.

1st time trying this place out. I had the taste for an actual bbq plate since I hadn't had any in a while, and the food was tasty enough to want to try their other options off the menu. So I'll def be back for round 2.
