2025 update: In the area again and decided to see if things were better….again, the food is delicious, but our call in order was all packed up when we got there 👍 but there was no bbq sauces or butter for the cornbread included or offered.

When he said we'd meet up at Mesquite and Oak, I naturally thought it was an intersection, but my GPS wasn't having anything to do with it and when I googled it up pops the BBQ restaurant! I was taken aback by the wonderful aromas that permeated the entire place. I sampled many of the meats and was flabbergasted by the presentation and flavors. 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆ and worthy of a 2 hour drive! No shit!

I tried the Brisket set. I was hoping for something very juicy, but my brisket was rather dry. It had good flavor, just missing the juices. I'll come back another time and try the ribs and see if that changes things for me.

At the time they were also out of potato salad. It was around 1pm, so I was surprised they were out that early.

You'll also leave smelling of smoke, in a BBQ way.
