Downtown Barbecue Reviews
Great BBQ, great space, great vibes. Check it out.
We went last night for dinner our waitress was wonderful! The food was really dry! I order the brisket , it came with three slices of brisket and small serving of pickle vegetables! (Onion, pickle, jalapeño) I ordered a side of coleslaw, it was really dry It tasted horrible. The fry’s were cold when served ! Their barbecue was just ok! They need to work on making better barbecue sauce and not serving dry meat. It’s been sitting around for a long time.

Downtown Barbecue is a popular restaurant known for its well-smoked meats and tasty sides. Many visitors praise the brisket, describing it as phenomenal and moist, with some noting it is their favorite dish. The ribs and beans also receive positive comments, though a few mention that the ribs could have used more seasoning. The menu offers a variety of options, including the 2 meat plate, pulled pork sandwich, and sides like macaroni and cheese, potato salad, cornbread, and twice baked potato. The gouda mac & cheese and potato salad with purple onions are especially loved, while some find the cornbread dry or the brisket too salty. The restaurant’s space is spacious, rustic yet modern, making it suitable for families and dogs, and the atmosphere is appreciated by many. The service consistently receives high praise, with staff like Madison and Jess being highlighted for their friendliness and attentiveness. Many reviews mention the great service, quick food delivery, and welcoming staff, with some highlighting special gestures like picking up tabs or offering to-go bags. The drinks, including innovative cocktails, and the overall ambiance add to the experience. Though a few comments mention minor issues like dry cornbread or availability of certain items, overall, Downtown Barbecue is seen as a promising spot that many look forward to visiting regularly.
