Called in a to go order and was eating great BBQ 15 minutes later. Highly recommend the Brisket & Mac Eggrolls!

We drive an hour just to come here 😁 Best BBQ and ribs ever! 😋 Service is always on point and the waitress always has the whole place alone with tables and takeout and is ON IT ! Can't wait for our next trip in !

Absolutely the best brisket I’ve eaten (and I’ve had plenty in Texas)! The jalapeño corn was delicious! We got our plate to go so the rating for atmosphere is not totally accurate.

This is an awesome BBQ joint in Albany. They have a great Cuban. The brisket Reuben is also amazing. Jalapeno corn makes a great side. Friendly staff to boot.

Went there over a year ago and thought it was awesome and been wanting to go back and finally got around to it. We decided to get the family meal deal which we selected 1 pound of pulled pork and 1 pound of pulled chicken and four side dishes, and it came with four slices of garlic toast. Period totally awesome. My wife and I both got full and got a couple to go boxes to bring enough home for probably three more meals. Nikki did a great job taking care of us. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. The experience was similar to the last time there. We have moved this up to one of our regular spots.

Diamond in the rough! Not fancy but fabulous! Staff is friendly and attentive. Food was tasty and fast. I had the brisket platter and my daughter had the pulled pork platter. Both were outstanding! Give it a try, you’ll be glad you did!

The food was great, but too expensive…. $32 for Ribs and brisket with water

For the price the food was MID…. No flavor. I Googled best barbecue in Albany… I hope this is not it. And the waitress was very rude . I will not be going back. I should have known because the parking lot was empty…
