Cozy little spot! Friendly staff. Great food. Don’t let the negative reviews dissuade you. Ribs were delicious. Props to the pit master. We were just traveling through but if we were locals we would definitely be back!🤩 Very reasonably priced.

Saw a smoker going in the morning and gave it a try on the way home from a hike. They had run out of food which means it must be good.

The ribs were excellent and the beans were some of the best I’ve ever had. So flavorful and smoky.

The potato salad mixed the mark and the brisket was a little too fatty.

I own a house in Texas, LOTS of good BBQ options there!!! But let me tell you, Sweitzers BBQ is every bit as good as any BBQ I've ever had in Texas, if not BETTER!! I've been there twice, once I had the pulled pork sandwich and meal; and today I had the BBQ Brisket. Both were awesome!!! You want some good BBQ? GO TO SWEITZERS BBQ!!! - I guarantee you won't regret it!!!!!

Can’t believe this place’s reviews are as high as they are.

Didn’t finish my ribs, very weak flavor, and cook. They need a dry rub or something to enhance flavor.

Place was dirty and not well kept.

Absolute disappointment. We got the ribs; the first red flag should’ve been that they don’t make their own BBQ sauce, just a store-bought one. They were super expensive, 8 ribs ran us almost $30–you’d expect them to be good right? NO. They were horribly cooked, meat was full of fat, no rendered at all. The seasoning was weak—that’s an understatement. If I didn’t know any better I’d just think they dumped some sauce on at the end. No depth of flavor whatsoever. When asked if we were enjoying the meal, we politely expressed our disappointment, because the man asked. He proceeded to make excuses and not offer any replacement or refund. Just basically said “welp, you’re wrong, but thanks for coming!”. A disgrace to BBQ—STAY AWAY

Tried the ribs. Lots of smoke, lots of unrendered fat, no flavor, bad management, dirty place.

Owner asked how the food was, told him it was very disappointing and he did nothing to apologize or compensate.

Ribs were nearly inedible, the only one who enjoyed them was our dog.

The ribs were good but the bbq sauce needed to put on while on grill. The ribs did not have a strong smaoke flavour and sauce was added after cooking and lacked any carmelizing. They very very tender which made the visit worth while.
