I had the 3 meat with brisket, Carolina pulled pork, and ribs. The brisket was super dry. The pulled pork was decent, and the ribs were dry but had good flavor.

The Mac was delicious and the beans were good.

My oldest daughter had the chicken sandwich and liked it.

My youngest got the pit smoked chicken and barely ate any because it was so dry. They didn't take it off the bill.

My wife's burger was meh.

The host failed to even put our name down on the wait list as well as multiple other guests multiple members of wait staff were cursing at each other, the place was in chaos. Did not end up dining here. Oh and also we were the only people waiting at first and got a 15 minute wait as did apparently the next 20 or so people.

We were recommended this bbq place but… the food was so mediocre and dry, not to mention it came cold. The worst part was the service, the girl had a terrible attitude and came to the table maybe twice to take the order and to drop the check, I kept trying to call other servers but they even avoided eye contact. Save your money it smells great but taste is bland and service makes it a terrible experience.

It was busy so we expected to wait. We were told twenty minute wait, it was maybe ten minutes. If you like onion rings they are a must here. Honestly they can be considered a meal instead of an appetizer. The waitress kindly offered us a half plate, perfect. Then came the meal. It did not disappoint. I got the fried chicken breast so good, but it was a lit of food. Then the banana pudding for dessert. Everything was delicious.

So I went dec 28th around 4 pm and asked the lady for a spot for two that didn't have much foot traffick because I have a stroller and didn't want it to be in anyone's way and she sat me literally on the corner booth where all the food comes out which is next to the bathroom where there wasn't much space for ppl to walk through. So that was irritating because I told her twice and she disregarded everything I said. Food and drinks were mediocre. I came for the brisket and it was tough on the top like butter on the bottom where the fat is, it didn't even come with pickles. The jalapeño cornbread was dry and they don't warm it up. The collard greens didn't have any smoked turkey in it and I looked through it. Catfish seemed like I was eating tilapia and my partner said something before I even said it out loud. Beans taste like spaghettiO's. Ribs were no big deal. Mac is cheesy but no flavor. The only thing that was really good was the coleslaw. Thank you to whoever made that coleslaw!!

Unfortunately, our experience at this place changed our perspective of it. We felt discriminated against, and it was a racist act to come to our table and tell a 3-year-old child and a group of 14 adults to be quiet. According to Dave, we were disturbing the peace. The manager was very rude and disrespectful. Thanks to him, we won't be returning. On the other hand, our waitress, Madelin, apologized for the unpleasant experience. Dave should be at home if he doesn't have the decency to work with people. DAVE needs to get used to different cultures.
Contact me and we'll go over details

Very bad place. The food has no smoky flavor at all, and all the dishes were lacking salt. The beans were the worst part, just plain cooked beans mixed with a lot of BBQ sauce. The brisket was tough and chewy, and the pork had no flavor, no bark, nothing like real BBQ. Worst BBQ place I’ve ever been to.

Good food, portions were larger than expected (I've had pulled pork sandwiches at lesser restaurants with 1/3 as much meat). We experienced moderately fast service for a late lunch on a holiday weekend, but the wait staff attending our table of 7 and the very large party next to us either had a debilitating migraine or had reached their limit of tourists.

The worst attitude from the waitress, we even make a funny face to us. She didn’t bring us a single knife in our stay

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 👎

Overhyped and overpriced. I tried the brisket, pulled pork, and turkey – everything was just mediocre, nothing standout or memorable. The fries came out cold, which was a real letdown.
The water tasted strongly of chlorine, like straight pool water – not acceptable at any restaurant.
Prices are way too high for the quality you’re getting, and it has that fake “premium” vibe, like a mediocre spot in a theme park trying to pass as something special. The current 4.5-star rating feels completely inflated.
On the plus side, no wait for seating, but that’s about the only good thing. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Here’s a short, clear message in English:

Our experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, the dishes were average at best, with cold side items. Our server kept apologizing to every table, and most of the staff didn’t seem very welcoming. We could blame it on a busy holiday Saturday night, but that’s not an excuse for serving mediocre and cold food.
