“Very friendly service, top quality bbq. Would recommend for a flavorful experience when you're feeling that smokey taste. 5 stars hands down.“

“ordered tonight. got the soul food sampler. everything was so good. Will definitely come back.“

“K Pot is life. This restaurant is great and I do feel like they’ve made noticeable improvements in the past 6 months or so. We’ve always had great servers, we frequently are served by Dee who treats us well. I wish I remember the name of the gal who served us last time during lunchtime, she was also fantastic.“

“I had the opportunity to work with Limp Lizard for the first time this past weekend, and they were wonderful to work with!

As a planner, I’m incredibly grateful for vendors who are communicative, reliable, and easy to work with, and Limp Lizard was exactly that. From the very beginning, Robin was responsive and readily available, and the on-site team was incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work alongside.

And, of course, the food was great too!

I would highly recommend Limp Lizard for both their food truck and their service. I’m looking forward to working together again in the future!“

“We had a thoroughly joyful family dinner at Yang Di Chun BBQ today! We felt so lucky finding open booth seating right away because it was buzzing. The traditional cumin lamb skewers were extraordinarily flavorful, while savory grilled beef sticks, garlic eggplant, crispy chicken wings, and cold drinks hit the spot completely. Big delicious Chinese barbecue portions pleased everyone. Friendly staff made our day!“

“Texas Roadhouse never disappoints, but our favorite waitress is Rachel. She is top notch and definitely takes care of her customers even when she’s swamped.“

“We had a wonderful night here for my Niece's birthday. We were seated almost immediately for 10 people. Kat and MacKenzie were our waitresses, and they made our experience here a great time. Thank you also to the manager /receptionist who helped us out when our planned location at the Longhorn in Camillus was very rude to us! Never going to the Longhorn in Camillus ever again!“

“We used to frequent here often and always got the burnt ends sandwich with sweet potato fries as one of the sides. The other dish pictured is the regular brisket sandwich with regular fries (I added my own cheese bc $2 for them to add cheese is insane). You used to have to pay extra for that side of sweet potato fries, but not anymore. The serving of sweet potatoes fries is just…sad in comparison to the regular fries. I think I’d rather pay the extra for the sweet potato if it means you’d get a normal serving of them, especially since the other sides are also so small.

Also placed an order at 6:53, was told 25 minutes, got there at 7:15, didn’t get the order until almost 7:50. They weren’t very busy aside from a larger table in the back and a few people at the bar. The wait wasn’t really an issue until the third time being told to come back in another 10 minutes.

The food was sub par. The side of mac & cheese tasted like just plain noodles. The sandwiches were okay, wish there was more BBQ sauce on my regular brisket, it was a bit dry.

I’ll assume it was an off night for them and just dock one star for this and will have to try again another night.“

“Passing through town on a snowy night, our family needed to grab a meal to bring back to the hotel. We had trouble narrowing down what to order, as there were so many great-looking options. The service was friendly, prices were reasonable, and most importantly, every single thing we ordered was even better than we anticipated. Even our hard-to-please kids loved their meals and even actually asked to try some of ours. We will definitely be back when back in the area to try some of the other items (though it will be hard to pass up the jambalaya mac & cheese, southwestern egg rolls and loaded salts, knowing how good they are)!“

“Today I had the best, most courteous, dining experience I have ever had. My party of 12 became 13. We were comfortably accommodated without any delay. (It was busy @530) Our server, Courtney, was the very best. She handled everything with pleasant, precision. Not a hint of stress. She was attentive and cheerful. My 80 year mother got a splash of sangria on her blouse. Courtney didn't just bring club soda. She stopped, and knelt down to scrub it up. Food was fantastic and well timed. Top Notch!!!!“
