This place was okay. The food that I ordered was a little underwhelming though for a top (google) rated bbq joint.
First off, I must say that the decor in the building is very neat. The themed paintings on the walls really set a good vibe. Also, I like the layout of the building. It's perfect for carryout, but there are spots to sit and eat in a large room.
As for food, I asked them what the highlight of the menu was and they basically said that it was all good, which honestly tells me that they don't have a go -to item that makes them stick out. Not a big deal, but kind of a yellow flag.
They then proceeded to say that their hamburger was one of their most popular items. And I'm sorry, but I don't do hamburgers at a BBQ joint. I would have found a local bar and grill if I wanted that. They then said that their brisket fries were a top item with their signature sauses; crack and blueberry. So while I didn't particularly want fries, I did see it tagged on the reviews and it would also give me a chance to try some of their BBQ meat (not a hamburger).
So I get my order in a large container and it appeared to be quite a large portion. But I really wouldn't say that they hook you up on the brisket.
That being said, the brisket was pretty average. Not a lot of flavor and little to soft. Also, the brisket was too thinly spread on the fries. They were small chunks and it was boardline shredded. It seemed as if the sauces on the fries were kind of the big draw for this item as the fries just seemed smothered in them. As far as the flavor of the sauces, the white crack sause was pretty good. The blueberry sause was a little too overpowering. It had a very tangy taste with some sweetness to it. It was almost like a teriyaki.
There were also too many fries. I ate all of the brisket and threw the rest of the fries out. Don't know if thats worth bringing up but it kind of gives you the perspective.
Overall, despite the nitpicking, this place wasn't bad. Can't say I'd ever be back but there is a certain draw. It seems like this place does really well with the locals in the area. Really, the best part of this experience was the atmosphere and the white crack sause.

Amazing barbecue food, and it was FAST!!! I got the brisket sandwich and my wife the 1/2 rack of ribs. The ribs were so tender they fell right off the bone, and had just enough sauce. The brisket was delicious and well worth the price! We'll be back... Often! UPDATE!: They now have a dining area and serve Ashby's ice cream. Same great bbq!

Really good BBQ and Cheesecake :-) Thank you

Amazing food. Not typical BBQ but a refreshing twist on classics. Only downside IMO is the brisket. I want sliced lean or fatty not shaved

I'm going to start off by saying I'm never going back to this place again. First the inside looked run down and had a weird smell to it. Than the boys that took our order were short and kinda rude. Ended up spending like $50 on food that was barely ediable. The Brisket was dry, and very salty. The fries tasted old and soggy, like they been sitting for a while and warmed up. Tried all 6 sauces and only 2 were ediable. This is place is nothing but overpriced real bad BBQ.
Amazing spot for good bbq. My wife and I ordered the pulled pork mac and the swamp burger. The burger was smokey and cooked beautifully, topped with delicious slaw and the mac was everything you want it to be….cheesy, creamy and the pork was tender and delicious.
