Great food but somehow they always manage to mess up to go orders.

Preston Struckmeyer

Food had great taste, texture, and came out quick. I just expected bigger portions for the price.

This was the 1st time being at the new owners store...the service was absolutely horrific. The order taker decided to just order whatever he thought we wanted instead of the actual order. He got the order wrong....they fixed it by making the correct sandwich but didn't bother to put the sauce that I wanted, so I used a sauce I had call Blues Hog...better imo... to make my 2nd trip worth my time they refused to do ANYTHING about it. The previous owner took care of his customers...unlike these people. Zero stars for service.

Had the meatballs and 4 shots of Tequila and it was $87!! The meatballs were cold and undercooked so we didn't order anything else and left! I won't be going

Who pays $12.50 for a shot of patron when I could just go buy the whole bottle for $50 on top of it 5 meatballs for $20 and my meatball was still pink on the inside. Waste of money, the local food truck in the hood way better and saves you money.

Update: went there again last weekend and ordered the pork shanks. Two tiny, dried out and tasteless shanks. I get that they weren't supposed to come with the sauce on them already, but there was no trace of a rub or any seasoning. Elotes were small as well. Where can a man get a full meal anymore?At least the cornbread was moist and tasty, and service was attentive.~~~~~I knew they had moved locations, but I wasn't prepared for the new management which was very much not Mom & Pop like the old owners. This is more of a bougie bbq "experience" where you pay extra to rub elbows with the CB elite. Some of the old favorites were there like the mooing pig, and there were some new additions to the menu like elote corn, which was tasty. However, there were no 2 meat bbq plates which were less than $20, and each "upgraded" meat was $5 PER MEAT. Speaking of the meat, they pitched a "leaner, meatier" baby back rib which basically had some of the half loin cut on it. Anyone who has eaten half loin knows it's tougher and dry as heyull. And it doesn't belong on baby back ribs. Otherwise, I had a brisket sandwich, and my SO had the bb ribs, and we went our merry way. Staff were nice and were proud to work there which was refreshing.Parking: On-street parallel parking was plentiful.

I have never seen so much team work in a restaurant! I was in Awe when other servers were asking to refill my drinks and others. My server was great, and so were the other servers.. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place.. The Owners were helping our their team also, I just love that! The food was so tasty, I fell in love with their corn bread. The jalapeño popper grilled cheese was so good, the prime rib was salty but it was so good couldn't stop eating it.

Great food, fast service. Had the moo-ing pig with spicy pickle mix and elote. Not disappointed at all. Had the sweetest waitress with a bit of a southern drawl. Great food in CB.
