About Old Southern BBQ Excelsior

Old Southern BBQ Excelsior offers a delicious taste of authentic southern BBQ in a cozy, inviting setting. The restaurant is praised for its flavorful smoked meats, especially the brisket, which is often described as tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Customers appreciate the variety of barbecue sauces available, with favorites like Dixie Red and spicy smoky options that complement the dishes well. The menu features popular items such as the brisket platter, tacos, and bowls, all offered at great prices and generous portions, making it an excellent value.

The sides are highly recommended, with creamy coleslaw and mac and cheese standing out as top contenders. Savory cornbread, pickles, and pickled onions add extra flavor to the meal. The staff is known for being friendly, helpful, and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Visitors also enjoy the neat and cute dining area, which adds to the overall experience.

While most reviews highlight the exceptional food and service, some mention that the smoked brisket can be a little dry, but this is often balanced out by flavorful sauces. The background music has been noted as somewhat loud, suggesting that a lower volume might improve the dining experience. Overall, Old Southern BBQ Excelsior is considered one of the best BBQ spots on the Westside, offering a great combination of tasty food, friendly service, and good prices.

Food is good BUT we asked to BUY some extra maple butter for our corn muffin top...they said no. First, butter should come with a corn muffin and it should be free. This small courtesy really soured me on this place.

We had Old Southern Bbq cater for our wedding and it was absolutely an amazingly positive experience! The director of catering, Amy, was so helpful and on top of everything. The catering team was absolutely wonderful! All of our guests ranted and raved about the food all night, especially the potato salad and the cornbread muffin tops. Would definitely recommend!
