Chopped brisket was good, but the brisket was cold in the center. They didn't heat it long enough, also I did make them aware. Didn't want new food but an offer to run it in the oven again would of did me justice. That didn't happen.
Ribs were ok but very tender.
Mac and cheese tasted bland
Beans were good
Potatoes salad was good.
Would most definitely come back.

It's actually impressive how dry my brisket and pulled pork were. I've been here twice in the last few months and had the same issue. It's a shame because I loved Dowling's.
Pretty good pulled pork and Mac and cheese. Would go again

I was very disappointed in the portion size of my meal, ordered a chopped beef plate and you only get 1 side which is like a tablespoon size portion. I will not be back.

I came today, when I arrived I waited at the window for like 10 minutes and ended up having to call someone to let them know I wanted to place an order and was at the window…Then the lady had me get out of line, drive around to get back in line because my food wasn’t ready.. I got some banana pudding as dessert …When I say horrible, I mean horrible…1. I was charged $5 for it and the container was half full. 2. It was mostly pudding with 4 cookies just layed on top..3. I know this is a barbecue place, but the small amount that I did taste had a strong smoke flavor…I couldn’t even eat it…y'all should not be calling what you are serving banana pudding…

Charging $.35 for a water cup and having a large fly trap right inside the front door tells me everything you need to know about this establishment

This place was recommended by a client of the service industry. The ribs were juicy and tender. The brisket was dry, and even the bbq sauce didn't help with the moisture of it. It was tasted like ketchup. The green beans were too salty, and the potato salad was creamy and delicious. The peach cobbler was delicious as well. Asked for no butter on toast, sent it back twice. Tables were dirty, and I had to wash off for a clean table. Had to fight flies while eating, waited up from to be waited on for 10 minutes. Everyone on their phones not paying attention. For the cost of the food, not spending another dime here.

Great food and service. The sitting area could use some cleaning around the walls and windows.
