Decent BBQ spot, slightly pricey. Beef brisket was delicious, burnt ends and smoked chicken thigh were standard. Half sour pickles and potato salad sides were lacking, and I think would have made this 5 stars if better. Water cups held about 2oz of water which was annoying as someone who likes to drink water and had to refill a bunch.

Lovely place with a laid-back vibe. Prices are reasonable ($15–18 for the meat, $5–7 for a side). The guys serving the meat were chill, but unfortunately, the older woman at the counter was not pleasant. She was impatient and rushed my friend into making a choice, even though there was no queue. Her bossy attitude was off-putting, we’re clients, not her staff.

Absolutely loved our meal here! Relaxed atmosphere and fab food but make sure you arrive hungry as the portions were big! We didn’t have to wait long for a table which was a bonus given it was a Saturday night too!

Staff seems a bit off-putting, food was nothing special, seating was like a cafeteria.
I wouldn't go out of your way to come here if you're looking for good BBQ. Hometown BBQ is so much better.

Don't buy the beans, I want them all to myself.
Joking aside, what an incredible place. If you think you'll like it based on what you've seen, allow me to correct you: you will love it. And, yeah, get the beans.
I would never recommend this place—it’s easily the rudest establishment I’ve ever encountered in Williamsburg. My husband took a moment to decide on his order, and the staff rudely snapped at him. Then, they left the door wide open in freezing weather, making the entire place unbearably cold. My pregnant friend was especially uncomfortable, so I got up to close the door. A staff member immediately came over and scolded me in a tone that was completely unacceptable—no one, not even a child, should be spoken to like that. On top of all this, the food was disappointing, with half the meat consisting of just fat. I’ve never experienced anything like this in New York, and I will never go back. It was truly awful.

we got the 1/2 pound brisket and pulled pork and everything was super dry and underwhelming in taste. Got in, the place is completely empty, the food counter is small and everything inside looks sad and stale like the meat has been sitting in there all day. The beef brisket is the only salvageable thing, the pulled pork is one of the driest pulled pork I've ever tasted, and very under-seasoned and cold. I also don't recommend their potato salads, the potatoes are hard (seem not cooked through) and tasteless. The staff also turned off music, started cleaning and asked us if we're done with our food by 9pm even though we still had food on the table and the place closes at 10pm, so we felt rushed and not welcomed. $50+ for this experience and this quality of food, so won't be coming back.

A bit disappointing. The shop looks dingy and like a barn. When asked if you could also get a 1/4 pound, this was confirmed, but still charged 1/2 pound. Brisket tasted like water and fat, ribs a little better. Only the cornbread was delicious and juicy. Everything in the picture cost $38 and didn't taste good

Briskets were fatty and greasy. Ribs were very dry and hard to chew. Disappointed.

Sides were great, bbq was ok but not one of the best I have had
