My father was in from out of town and we wanted to take him to a good bbq place. I knew the experience was going to be far from good when we first walked in the door. The place was lifeless and dirty. The staff were friendly but the food was disgusting. Fries were burnt but soggy? The Philly cheese steak was soggy and the lettuce was warm and cabbage like. The meat looked like dog food. The bbq sandwich smelled like cigarette smoke. They were out of ketchup, understaffed, out of ice and barely had napkins. We will not be coming back...

gotta be some of the worst food ever… you should be ashamed to say “bbq” they do not have bbq sides, no greens, baked beans or macaroni…. just coleslaw fries onion rings or mozzarella sticks. my whiting fish was HARD along with soggy fries. this place should be compared to a chicken joint. how are you a bbq restaurant with only chicken fish and brisket? manager (i’m assuming) said only fries come with the dinners. photo attached is my food AS SOON as i opened the box.

Wow. Fantastic brisket and can't leave without some beef ribs too! Not cheap..but really worth it. If you like BBQ you really need try it.- no pork...who needs it?--Parking: Plenty of parking

The beef brisket sandwich was very good. The brisket was perfect and the bun was fresh and soft. Would have given it 5 stars but the fries were a little over done. The sandwich with the sweet BBQ sauce was 5 stars!

Definitely a hidden gem...the meat just falls off the bone...everything was delicious!

Omg most of these 4 and 5 star reviews sound so manufactured. I TRIED TO WARN YOU! BEWARE!

I decided to stop here for dinner with a few others since I saw the positive reviews. Upon entering, there were several booths to sit and eat but it also had a fast food type of environment. Normally I order the pulled pork sandwich but since they didn’t offer it, I had the pulled chicken sandwich with baked beans. The food was delicious and the chicken was uniquely seasoned. There were a unique variety of other menu items like tilapia, burrito, etc. Overall, I was very happy with my meal.

I'm going to start with saying this. I went there the first time on 7/14... then went back every day for the rest of the weekend. A few times the next couple of weeks and catered lunch to my job as well. The sides are so flavorful; the meat is tender and the portions are plentiful. The owner is so genuinely nice. Not the fake, brown-nosing nice. Genuinely a nice guy. I have recommended this place to everyone that would listen. Con: They're closed on Mondays; and you'll eat so much you'll gain weight.

Stopped in after dropping my car off down the street, and was pleasantly surprised. My mom doesn't eat pork, so we don't get BBQ as often as we'd like and we were happy she didn't have to worry about that here.I got the brisket sandwich and she got the chicken sandwich, and we both enjoyed them very much. I was also really amazed with their fries- I know that seems simple, but the quality of their fries really makes you realize how much a lot of other places are giving us junk. They were super hot and fresh.The quality of all of our food was great!
Decided to stop here after reading the reviews. My son ordered the burrito combo while I ordered the 3pcs fish combo. I really enjoyed everything on the plate. Very big portions.I will definitely be back

The guys here are very friendly. All I’ve had to eat so far are the turkey ribs with mild sauce, and the banana pudding. (They’re so good that I haven’t wanted to order anything else yet!) The ribs sections are big, meaty and tender, and seasoned so well that you don’t even need the sauce. But the mild sauce is also great, with the perfect amount of tang and flavor. And the banana pudding is also perfect, without being overly sweet (like so many other places make it). I love the food at Dreams!

Holy Smoked Wings!! This place has been on my list of places to try for quite a while, and I am so glad I finally made it there! I had the smoke wings with fries and coleslaw. My meal also came with cornbread. The wings had phenomenal flavor on there own, and the dipping sauce was the icing on the cake. They offer 3 sauces, sweet, medium and hot - I had the medium sauce. The fries were nice and hot. The coleslaw was very good, a little sweet, so I added some pepper to balance it out. I tried the mac n cheese my aunt ordered, it was also amazing and will be on my plate next time I'm there! She had the brisket sandwich, which looked amazing, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Pretty chill environment, we got there around 6 and there was one other person waiting for their takeout order. But the time we left a few more groups had come in to dine. I look forward to going back soon to try some of their other menu items!

First time here & staff was wonderful. Food was great tried the Turkey ribs from previous recommendations & they were fall apart Smokey goodness. I had the fried catfish which was wonderful & my hubby had shrimp burrito which was Huge. Defiantly going to return!

Don't know where to begin. When they didn't have any chicken wings we should have left. I went against my better judgment and still ordered. I had ordered the beef brisket. Some of the meat was tough and chewy, very inconsistent tasting brisket. I also got a side of red beans and rice. I felt offended at how bad it was made. Being Black I grew up on red beans and rice and I have never tasted Red Beans and rice that bad. I can't think of a positive reason why someone from the Middle East would open a BBQ restaurant In a predominantly Black neighborhood and make food that typically Black people eat. I could think maybe it's because no one makes barbecue turkey or it's can be to exploit Black ppl for MONEY! No matter what the reason is the food is not good.
