This was my first time having it so I picked a combo plate I had brisket pork beans ribs cornbread from the first bite that I had it it was so delicious to the last bite I most definitely will come back so if you're into barbecue you definitely going to stop by and have it pick the combo it gives you two entrees cornbread or rice then aside then we also ordered a side of burnt ends but make sure you eat it while it's hot it was so good and melted in my mouth.

Reviews were a 4.3 which made me excited to visit! However, the environment was underwhelming, service was good and attentive, but the food was not as great. I had the burnt ends, they were warm and chewy and I was't happy with them at all. The baked beans were interesting as well, they were more like a bad version of chili beans.

We visited late in the evening for dinner, the meat was served cold. Also the meat didn’t feel fresh. I wouldn’t recommend eating at least for dinner. The only good part is they have really good bbq sauces.

Food was amazing, it’s shocking but the service was EVEN BETTER than the food, and that’s hard to believe because the food was the best I’ve had in a while. Every server was amazing, atmosphere was amazing, music was amazing and so much more. The bartender was the best, super sweet and was awesome. Also, the barbecue sauce *chefs kiss* 1000/10 recommend.Kid-friendliness: Absolutely amazing.

The pulled chicken Sammy I got was barely pulled and wasn't fully cooked and only had the tiniest bit of BBQ sauce. The cornbread was decent and the key lime pie was great but seemed more like a key lime cheesecake.

Visited 19MAR2024 - First time visiting. Initially went to the location near PayPal Stadium on Newhall Dr, but there was a line just to order. Went to this location, less than 5 miles away. Certainly an older location compared to the Newhall Dr. location.Ordered off the a la cart menu. Two spare rib bones, quarter pound of brisket (lean), one Louisiana hot sausage link, and one pint of Southern greens.The meats were seasoned perfectly and had a light wood smoke flavor. All four BBQ sauces were really good. Unfortunately, the spare ribs and brisket were cooked too fast, which left the meat a bit tough and the fat hadn't rendered enough. The brisket was on the dry side. Another indication of fast cooking. The Louisiana hot sausage link was a little spicy, but not "hot" to me. I believe the Southern greens were kale because they were a brighter shade of green than I'm familiar with. You can see them in the pic. The Southern greens had meat in them, but the overall taste was new to me. I finished the pint of Southern greens by myself if that is any indication of how they tasted. I also ordered sweet tea and a craft beer.The staff was very friendly. Old school Blues music was playing on the speakers.My bill came to $49 with tax, before tip.

Ribs were overcooked and bland. Zero smoke flavor and no "tug" on the meat. Fell off the bone.Rib tips were tough. Everything came sauced which is suspect in itself. Let me decide if it needs sauce.

Best ribs ever. Dining room is uninviting. Staff is wonderful - helpful, friendly. They seem to work well together and were busy taking care of the place when we visited. The hot sauce is HOT ???.
