“I went to the Marion location. First time stopping in. I got the Brisket platter and two rib platters. I got them to go. The Brisket had great flavor, it was a little drier than I like my brisket but the flavor was there. The ribs were on point, tender juicy full of flavor. The sides I got were baked beans and Mac and cheese. The baked beans were great smoky flavor and a little bit of sweetness to them. The Mac and cheese perfect with how cheesy it was. Over all great food and friendly staff and you get your moneys worth of food. Keep up the good work“

“Ok, the brisket I received wasn't just fork tender. It falls apart with a stern glance! It was apparently tenderized with a loving embrace. Patted gently. Sliced with care, and cradled to the tray. Seasoned, smokey perfection. I also got the potato salad. Excellent. Clearly made in house, nothing GFS here. Fresh green beans. Crisp. Good. If they can do this even twice out of five visits they may just be the best BBQ in this city.“

“I don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Extremely crowded. The floor was covered in spilled drinks. Nowhere to sit or put a coat. The line at the bar was long. The music was so loud we couldn't hear anyone. There were three stalls in the women's room - one had no door at all, and one had a door that wouldn't close. You can't watch anyone ride the bull as it is hidden in the back corner. This place is a waste of time.“

“Great authentic Chinese cuisine. 👌 a wide variety of offerings, the beef rib skewers were delicious, as were the pan seared pot stickers.

Brought my wife here for a meal to make her feel better, as she was feeling a little under the weather, and I think it really did the trick. She was very happy and pleased with the meal. She had the braised beef noodle soup.

I had the Dan Dan hand stretched noodles, they were quite delicious and satisfying for a spice craving.

The service was great, and they had Boba tea available from the next-door Boba shop.

We'll definitely be back.“
