Rude and incompetent staff. Do better.
Wow!! I ordered catering for a work event and what a great job! The food was delivered on time and piping hot! We had people from TX and they were impressed and that’s hard to do! We really appreciate everything and you guys are great to work with!

Location is card only. The brisket was a little fatty but overall good. I love the Texas Tomato dressing. Has a little kick. I tried to go back days later for another. That's when I discovered it was cash only.

Fast and very friendly service! Excellent food, and a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy lunch. The lunch special is an excellent value for the quality.

GREAT service from today's lunch counter where I had fries and a Brisket sammich with pickles and Alabama-style sauce. The flavor on the sandwich is INCREDIBLE. The fries have a dusting of a sweet bbq-like flavoring that compliments the savory spices on the sandwich. Super-fast lunch-rush traffic made this spot a new go-to for my office days.

The brisket is righteous! The bark is savory and spicy, The meat is tender and smoky. I love the pickled red onions and pickles especially with the spicy barbecue sauce!

I cannot say enough about this location. The food is absolutely amazing! Well done, perfectly executed and sorely needed in the downtown area. Then you have the absolutely STELLAR staff that are incredibly professional, courteous, kind, service oriented and just really good people. The respectful way they work together while not disrupting the workflow or ignoring the customers is something that is truly missing from the restaurant world. They move at a quick and efficient pace but it’s not chaotic. They engage with the customers in a way that I wish we could duplicate all over the world. And the cleanliness and food safety is FANTASTIC! Please keep up the great work and know that we really appreciate all that you do! I would give this location ten stars if I could. Thank you thank you thank you!

I’m on a mission to try all “healthy” bowl options in the loop so I tried their smokehouse harvest bowl. Good flavors! I think the portion was a bit too small, which is good for someone trying to keep it light, but not great comparing with sweetgreen bowls (about the same price). Great experience ordering online for pickup.

Horrible. Gave us the wrong food, the food we did get was bad. Photo speaks for itself- why did we order right at open and pick up immediately and STILL had cold food? Ordered the pulled pork, beef brisket, and chicken tacos. All dry, flavorless, cold, and packages so excessively it is like they threw their leftovers in random boxes. The mac and cornbread sides were average.

If you go here after 2:00 pm they are a little surly and the cornbread is hard on the bottom.

I'm usually never disappointed I Had the same sandwich a few times at there other location we just so happen to stop at this location we paid almost 30$ for old gym shoe tasting "burnt end" sandwich with a corn muffin and very taste less mac n cheese I usually stop at there Illinois center location or north west location I guess because its smaller the food comes freshly made we both were highly upset we maybe came at a bad time we we're so upset we couldn't get are favorite cheat day meal ? we'll try again next week at are usual spot hopefully they'll redeem themselves.

It’s always interesting to see what is considered good BBQ in different parts of the country. This place ain’t it. I tried a Burnt Ends sandwich. The burnt ends were clearly just some reheated leftovers, and weren’t properly cooked the first time. Dried out, chewy texture. If I hadn’t paid close to $27 for the sandwich, 2 sides and a drink I’d probably just throw it in the trash where it belongs. TX and the South has truly spoiled me on what good BBQ is. I think I’ll stick to Italian beef and pizza on future visits.
