I had the chance to sample several menu items with my family for my first time eating here. Brisket was good but I enjoyed the burnt end much more. For sides the pineapple slaw was interesting and the fries were spot on, The stand out sides however were the Hallelujah potatoes and street corn. What I didn't expect was to love the Porkius Caesar. While not a traditional Midwest take on a tenderloin, Cornbred BBQ has elevated the tenderloin and it was amazing. Perfectly cooked, juicy & flavorful. I'm looking forward to my next trip here and expect if the food is consistent to raise my rating to 5 stars. I rarely give 5 stars on a first visit but always update my rating if needed on a second visit.
Great food, friendly service, amazing atmosphere.
Tasty meat, MIND BLOWING cornbread.
We went to Cornbred bbq Monday afternoon with our kids from Alaska. We were seated immediately on their great patio and the service was wonderful. They still have a great selection of meat entrees, sides and drinks. Unfortunately, their breaded pork sandwich that my wife had was way overdone, being dry and hard. Similarly, the brisket that my son-in-law and I had was very dry which was disappointing compared to other meals we have had there. Fortunately, they have a nice set of bbq sauces to put on it and the sides of tomato-cucumber salad and street corn salad were great. My daughter had an entree salad that she seemed to enjoy. Hopefully, this was just one off day on the meats. But it was a somewhat disappointing experience for our guests.
Very classy environment to eat in. Fresh clean environment with a smaller menu selection. The food is larger than life , it was so tasty it fell apart in my mouth. Multiple bbq sauce choices I just loved!!!!
Food was 7.9/10 Service was good.
Good variety of drinks đ»
the food was amazing, very friendly staff
Stopped tonight and had amazing burnt ends with a side of beans and corn salad. Beans were fantastic but the elote corn could have used some mayo, tajin and a lime. The bbq sauces were great as was the home brewed beer. Wish I lived closer than 2 hrs away.
My hubby ordered brisket and a piece of meat was presented on his plate that was mostly FAT!!! Weâve ordered brisket in many different restaurants and it NEVER came with a big chunk of FAT!!! We complained and they did nothing , didnât even offer to replace it until we were finished heating. He shared my dinner of burnt ends which was so salty we could barely eat it ! We will NEVER return and will NOT recommend this place !!! Very disappointed!!!
We just had an awesome experience at Cornbred! The food was delicious! And our waiter/bartender (I canât remember his name) was wonderful! Highly recommended!!

Nice atmosphere, plenty of nearby parking, and the staff is great. No 5th star because, although I've had some great food here, this time - though the description of my selected dish (the LA LA BOMBA) made it sound delicious - it was very bland with virtually no flavor. I'll return, but won't order this dish again.
First time I came here for lunch and the food was off the chain! I raved about it to my coworkers. Since then I have been back several times and it has been underwhelming. Food just seems sloppy. Very fatty meats and they come across to me as too âwetâ. Perhaps that is the owners style but I just donât care for it. Service is not great, not terrible. My overall opinion is this place is overrated.

Food was great, they do a great job. Just a bit cooler than I expected. Service was great, our waitress made several little mistakes and was always apologetic and quick to help! I don't know why they had the music playing they did, other than that it's friendly and hospitable!
