I spent $104 on a family dinner but unfortunately, none of the dishes appealed to us, and we ended up discarding them. The staff, particularly a young lady, was pleasant. However, they forgot to include one of my rib dinners in the order, hence the low rating for service. The wait was unusually long, 35 minutes in total. While I'm reluctant to leave a negative review, based on other feedback, it seems this place caters to specific tastes. I suggest giving it a try yourself—you may have a different experience.

The food was okay. I think the gouda Mac n cheese was overdone. Might have been yesterday's Mac n cheese. It didn't resemble any pasta shape out there. This place also charges a service charge. I wasn't told about the charge beforehand, so it was a complete surprise to see it on the bill. I asked what the charge was for, the young lady had no clue why it was on there. She said it is like that in the computer. If I knew I was being charged a "service charge," I would have never left a tip for the $130 order. From now on, this place will never get a tip from me. Even if the service fee was for using a credit card, that should have been waived because of the amount of money we spent there. Talk about greedy business practices.

Man they got me with the smoker in front smoking! I walked in I said I’ll take whatever is in that smoker. Reply was there’s nothing in it, oh ok so whatever you have that is fresh . I ask do u have fresh brisket got a yes so I replied I’ll take it! I knew something was up when I was told 5 min and it turned out to be 15 min. Got to the car handed it to my son he opened it and said dad I’m good. I tried it literally the most disgusting chewy microwaved brisket . What a shame super dry 0 flavor waste of money . You can look at the pictures they say it all. I hate leaving bad reviews but i don’t know how this place is still open

The food was ok but for the amount of money you spend and the amount of fat on the meat, they need to add in extra pieces. We ordered a 2 meat dinner, cost $34.00. 2 pieces of brisket w/fat, you literally got two bites of meat and that was it. 10 fries and maybe a 1/4 cup beans. I called to complain & you get a message like the phone is disconnected. If you are going to charge the prices that are currently being charged, at least give enough food to justify it. Won't be back & Won't recommend!

UPDATE: Someone from the business had the audacity to respond to my initial review and say that I'm bashing them when I only spoke MY truth. What good is it for me to lie? My review is just that......MY REVIEW. Oh, and to answer your question, Google sent me to your place when trying to find BBQ in the area, so you can't blame anyone else for sending me there. No further comments on the Mac-n-cheese or the "garlic toast" where all of the seasoning was heavily thrown on two parts of the bread.INITIAL REVIEW: When I say run, I MEAN RUN, and don't look back when thinking about purchasing food from this place. First off, the young lady taking the order was so soft spoken, you could barely hear what she was saying. I asked for a pulled pork dinner, and asked if the pork could be placed on the bun. When I got home, there was no bun (just messed up my whole craving for it.) Instead, it was a NASTY piece of homemade Texas garlic toast, if that's what you want to call it. The mac-n-cheese was mediocre, and let's just say I hope they NEVER volunteer to bring potato salad to their family cookout because it's an epic fail. Last but certainly not least, I ordered a sweet tea. After the first sip I was like, well dang! Did they stir the tea with the collard green spoon.!? Disgusting!!!!! Needless to say, that is one spot that I will NOT give a 2nd try.

Got the loaded brisket fries and the pulled chicken n mac n cheese sandwich for 31 bucks. The brisket was tough, fries unseasoned, chicken unseasoned, and mac n cheese was overcooked with gas station nacho cheese. We asked how long it would take and the girl said it would be a few minutes and then after we placed the order she said 10-15 minutes. It took half an hour. The bbq sauce we got on the side was pretty good though.

We ordered a rack and a half of ribs tonight ($60). First time trying this BBQ. Hands down the worst ribs I've had in my lifetime. Maybe my experience is the exception, but I'd steer clear if you enjoy or want good BBQ. Will never return!

Absolutely amazing BBQ. My husband is picky when it comes to pork. He really enjoyed this. Melt in your mouth and not overwhelmed by sauce. Perfect amount and loaded with meat. The Mac and cheese pretty good as well. Burger and fries delicious. Great flavor! Definitely check it out. Glad we stopped because we're in this plaza all the time and never noticed it but the smell was amazing today! Stop in if you get the chance. You won't be disappointed. Service matched the food. Amazing!

Seen ad online. Looked good what seen in photos. Get there place was empty and drab looking. Young girl comes up from out back. Willing to help. Hand us our menus. I picked out a few choices they were out of my choices. So I settled for pulled pork sandwiche. Flavored was dead on. Fry's were undercooked. Ordered a soda and it was hot and no ice.So I was looking forward to a good BBQ. But was greatly dissatisfied. Went to use the bathroom and a wall almost fell on me.I will never step foot in there ever again. Feel sorry for the young girl running that place.
