This was by far one of my favorite places I've stopped at. The food was amazing, I got brisket and brussel sprouts as a side. Everything is a la carte which made it easy to try a bit of everything. The atmosphere was great. While sitting eating at the bar with my dad we had a very thoughtful conversation with Rob the general manager. He was very knowledgeable it was great to talk with him about the food.

This place is the closest I have found to the Texas BBQ I grew up with. The service was great, and every time we have been, it is a wonderful experience. The drinks are fun, the cornbread is amazing, and the BBQ sauce is the best!

Very good food literally no complaints...you order at the window in the back and they bring out your food and serve fountain drinks as well as a full bar. Prime rib was delicious with the house horseradish sauce and the brussel sprouts were also amazing.Staff is very kind and checked on us through out the meal. Me,my husband and son all left full abd happy. Also the nachos with brisket were delicious as well! Would come back and try more food off the menu.Bring your appetite for sure when you eat here!

Absolutely the DRIEST smoked meats I ever ate. The sides and desert were nothing special. Will NOT be going back.

This was our first time trying this place and ordered several items for takeout. It will be the last.
We ordered 2/3 lb of brisket. That should weigh about 10.5 Oz. What we received upon getting home and opening the container were 2 slices of brisket that each had a ball of inedible fat running through the middle. This was not marbling, it was straight up gristle. After cutting it away we measured it. 3.5 Oz, or 1/3 of what we paid for was not fit for consumption. How anyone would slice that, look at it and make the decision to serve it to a paying customer shows a complete lack of respect for your paying customers. I basically paid $7 for what the kitchen should have thrown in the trash. On top of that, what wasn't pure fat was dry and flavorless, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a day or two old and just reheated to serve. It had a warming up leftovers vibe to it.
We also ordered a side of cornbread for 3. It was crumbly and dry with some weird butter on it. Also inedible and went in the trash after a single bite. The side of tater tots were greasy and very, very salty. The Brussel sprouts had a good flavor but they under cooked and close to raw.
How any kitchen or business would let this type of poor quality go out And charge what feels like a premium for the portions you get is beyond explanation.
My family just flushed over $60 down the drain and still need to find something to have for dinner.
We will never be going back and based on our experience I would recommend it be avoided by all as well.

Very expensive. I spent $90 on just me for half a rack of ribs, 1 drink, and routine and nachos.

I have eaten at some of the best BBQ restaurants in the country, The Pit in Durham NC, Arthur Bryant's in KC Missouri and have worked at Smokey Bones and other BBQ places in my career. I know what good BBQ is and this wasn't it.
My friend took me here last week when I visited him in Poughkeepsie. He ordered ribs, my other friend got smoked wings and I decided on pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw on top as well as cornbread. I was disappointed and surprised that baked beans weren't an option.
The young lady took our order and opened my Modelo while we waited for our food
The cornbread was cold and had some kind of sweet butter on top. It was dry and lacked flavor. My pulled pork sandwich was piled high and looked great. After my first bite, the cashier told us that the sauces were on the table and we needed to put them on ourselves. So I had to undo my sandwich and put sauce on and then reconstruct it. Poorly designed menu item in my opinion. The ribs that my friend ordered were dry and over cooked. He didn't finish them. The smoked wings were a hit with our other friend.
I was going to leave and not complain until the nice cashier asked me how our food was.
I told her I had an issue, before I said anything else she leaned down and said "It's the cornbread right?" So I wasn't the first one to have a problem with the food. I asked to speak with the "cook". A few minutes later a young bearded man was standing at our table. I pointed out the issues we had with our food and I could tell by his demeanor and attitude he was upset by our constructive comments. I then asked to speak to the GM and another bearded gentleman named Rob showed up. Do beards need to be covered when working in kitchens and around food? Rob's attitude matched that of his bearded "cook". He seemed my comments personally and that wasn't my intention. I wanted him to listen to my complaints and use them to make things better. He offered us a gift card with a bad attitude. I took the card and gave it to a couple that were walking in as we left. I didn't want them to waste their money
The interior of the restaurant is cold and my friends thought it was corporate owned. The bar is fully stocked with various types of liquor. It seems more effort and focus is in the Brew and less emphasis on the Cue
Barbecue is a tradition and a passion. If you're going to charge $17 for a rack of ribs, take the time to do it right.
People work hard for their money, they deserve better
Do better Brew and Cue
got take out last night the pulled pork was so dry, the ribs were not fall off the bone so disappointed especially because I love pulled pork . mac and cheese was excellent. won't be going back
