I have told all my friends my terrible experience here. We know a good bbq joint, and this ain't it!!!!! Beware

The chicken and brisket were dry. I enjoyed the Mac N Cheese ( my favorite) and cornbread. I appreciated the selection of BBQ sauces. My lunch $27!! +3 for brisquet.

Food was good, but the meat was just barely warm, and the mac and cheese was hot. You'd think they'd prioritize the meat temperature.

My friend and I both got severe food poisoning and our total order was over $110. We had ribs, pulled pork and brisket.
Place is dump inside. The ladies behind counter were nice but doesn’t change the fact that we got awful sickness from this place.
Needs to be shut down or checked by quality control before operating again.

My first delivery order of ribs was fabulous. Perfect! For a 2nd order I thought an icy cold salad with the "burnt ends" would be tasty and I wouldn't have to bother with bones.. BIG MISTAKE. Salad was really nice - especially for a side salad. BUT THE 'ENDS' WERE TOUGH, TOO TOUGH. I didn't expect them to be like the ribs, I knew they'd be somewhat charred - but it never crossed my mind I'd throw away 2/3 of the pieces because they were too chewy, too gristly and too burned for me to be able to "chew them up and swallow". I am disappointed.
Vegetarian options: I have only had delivery.....first was amazing; 2nd disappointing. I don't think I'd even attempt vegetarian here --wonderful ribs are too good.

Generally speaking, bbq is too dry and not as good as Goujia Canteen

I ate here a few years ago, and it was definitely 5 stars!
Tonight, we ate here, and the burnt ends were cold and hard as a rock! They did bring us a fresh plate, and it was a lot better. Bbq beans were good, and I'd get them again. Ribs were good and cornbread as well. There weren't many people in there when we first walked in but it picked up and they seemed under staffed, had to wait to get anything, they forgot my wife's gravy for the mashed potatoes until we were almost done.
The bathroom was out of toilet paper, and they said they ran out of it and had no more?
Vegetarian options: Vegan burger on the menu.

This place used to be amazing bbq at an affordable price. Now the food is just okay. The pulled pork tasted like it had been stewed and not smoked. The ranch was watered down. The brisket was pretty average and they didn't ask if we wanted it fatty or lean like they used to.
The service was the only bright spot. The servers were friendly and accommodating. There were hardly any customers compared to when it used to be packed all the time. The bathroom also smelled like mildew.
I'm not sure what happened but if you used to come here before the pandemic you're going to be disappointed.

The burnt ends are cold and hard to chew and the sauce they use to cover up the fact that there not truly smoked is nasty . The brisket is tough and cold and the cornbread has a good flavor but is cold also like it just came out of the refrigerator ! The meat was defintatly not fresh , cold old hard . When I talk to the food server about it she did not seem to care so sad ! The patatoe salad was the best part of this meal . I do not recommend this place to anyone who wants good BBQ
Bbq is good but I ordered delivery with Uber Eats and order came without beans, without bbq sauce and without extra cornbread, all of which I paid for. Tried to call restaurant and no answer, mailbox full.

Always a good lunch stop when I fly into SJC. I appreciate their variety of sauces and quality of food.
A friend took me there. My first visit. Ribs were delicious but the place kind of creeped me out. Also had a funny odor. Kind of a dive with people asking for money outside. Servers did ok. I'll try another location or order takeout.
