Good food fast. Had a large order for multiple people, and we were sitting inside (limited seating). The employee who rang us up was very attentive to give us any items delayed with our order and made sure we were satisfied with our food.Parking: Not many spots to park in, but the lack of indoor seating ensures people are in and out quickly.

Horrible over the phone lady just hung up in my face very rude and worst customer service just called in a order and told her we are a business that is across the street from them and they still won’t place the order in unless I walk in there I guess this place does not like money I will direct all my customers not to step foot across the street to eat there I can see them being shut down soon ?

This place is NOT Authentic BBQ!!! First of all there were NO menus available to view but instead there was a scrolling menu on a TV screen that made it hard to read and make a selection, everything is a la cart and a bit pricey. The server was nice and knowledgeable of menu items and prices which was very helpful seeing that there were no menus to look at. The place has a diner feel with a counter and bar stools to sit at while you wait for your food, I didn't see anyone dining in. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich, rib tips and sides bake beans, Cole slaw, and Mexican street corn, also the peach lemonade. Total bill came up to $41 for the 2 orders. Ribs tips were ok definitely used liquid smoke and were overcooked and tough to chew, the bake beans were from the can (not even doctored up) like literally poured from the can, the coleslaw was also store-bought there was nothing authentic about it at all, and finally the Mexican Street corn did not come on the cob. It was frozen corn that you buy at the grocery store, there was no flavor no lime juice or tajin seasoning just the cotija cheese which made it unpleasant to eat. The pulled pork sandwich had little to no barbecue sauce on it and a generous helping of coleslaw, which turned the bread very soggy so it made it hard to pick up the sandwich and actually eat it. I had ordered extra barbecue sauce, but did not get it. Overall, this restaurant was not what I expected I had high expectations for this place, because it came recommended to me the food very bland with store-bought out of the can taste. I will say that the staff was very nice and pleasant very patient and professional. The restaurant was very clean and neat.

Their wings fall off the bone! I also love their half chicken, peach cobbler, and sandwiches. I still need to try their ribs! I will return!I wanted to visit after seeing their FB Live videos. People go in to eat everything on their menu! If you're successful, the offer incentives. It's a bit much, but there are people who were up to the challenge! I would rather sit back and enjoy it. The sauce is unique and tasty! I also plan to try their elotes corn on the cobb.

I just came by to see if your ribs had improved since the ribs I purchased on New Years for the Super Bowl. I swore I was done with you then because the ribs were awful!!! None of my guests were pleased. I was embarrassed after bragging on them. Well yesterday I said I'd give it one more try and just got the ribs tips. When I got home and tried to eat them they were sooo tough I couldn't even chew them. I put them in the oven to try to soften them up to no avail!! No wonder your shop is always empty when I go by. You went from bad to worse. Never again. Give it up Ken, you've lost that loving feeling. SAD!!!
