Driest brisket I’ve ever had in my life. Turned that meat into leather. Potato wedges were somehow even drier. Calling that Texas brisket is undoubtedly a sin. I get that this is carnival food but still… also no indoor seating was brutal in the heat.

Its freaking LOUD in there. Sent me into sensory overload.

Mac and cheese was alright but the brisket was inedible. Been going for years now and it has been on a slow decline for awhile now. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

Ordered the brisket with Mac n cheese.
Very tasty, juicy and seasoned meat, some of the best I’ve had.
Mac n cheese was good but needed salt.
Corn bread was great!

Pulled pork is soooo good

This was our first time visiting BackBeatQue. It was recommended by our friends. Apparently, they have good tastes because we enjoyed it. We loved the vibe, the food, and the outdoor seating. The brisket and macaroni and cheese were amazing, as was the sausage and cornbread. Also, this was included in the dining plan. We'll definitely cone back.

No vinegar with greens? No salt to add the the greens!!?? Gosh guys how bad can you possibly suck?!
Robbie McCullough
Not bad. Food is really good but pretty overpriced for the amount of food you get, but it’s a theme park so what are you gonna do. Overall pretty good.

Somewhat expensive prices, great food, portion was far too small. 25$ for 2 pieces of brisket, a couple scoops of mac and cheese and 1 little piece of cornbread.
The brisket is excellent but you get mostly fat instead of Brisket. It makes it not worth the money or wait. Please teach your cooks to cut off the fat better

Dry brisket. Cold Mac and cheese and the smallest piece of cornbread you have ever seen, mind you at 20 minutes past opening time. Husband got the same thing and his brisket was just fat. $60 wasted on lunch for two.

We tried their Halloweekend special, the gargoyle wing, thankfully it was chicken and not goyle. It was however, delicious! It was such a generous portion of meat on the bone & it came with two! The sauce was so delicious, not too sweet but with a delicious Smokey flavor. The pumpkin smasher dessert with amazing! If you like pumpkin pie and snickerdoodle, you need to try! I wish this was a franchise because I whole def stop here for takeout! The decor is nice too, it has a rock n roll feel. It’s at Cedar Point, so I’m not sure you’re there for fine dining, but the attention to detail is appreciated!

Oh how the mighty have fallen. That lovely legendary beef brisket is no longer smoked—let alone edible. Like a mustache on a Mona Lisa, it appears to be steamed or boiled. Instead of that oh so wonderful smokey bark and savory texture they had last year and in previous years, it is meaty monstrosity: just low grade, extremely fatty roast beef. Eww. Ditto on the macaroni and cheese. This perennial favorite used to be some of the best restaurant mac ‘n cheese period, not just top marks park food. Now, it is instead missing any cheese or other ingredients and drenched in oil to the point that we saw 1/2 to 1 inch of oil inside of the paper serving bowl. Nasty. As Robert Irvine of Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible would chide, this is garbage! This was a common theme throughout our semi-annual exploration of the park as we window ate through to get a solid feel for the quality—or lack thereof. First recommendation: Eat outside of the park. Seriously, your insides and your palette will thank you later.
All the little things add up and make or break the whole experience. Since Cedar Fair’s $100s of millions of debt has caught up with them (flashback: the pandemic made their foolish business practice of operating on razor thin profit margins for decades turn into death by debt virtually overnight and this of course led to the requisite merger with Six Flags to save both from the brink of filing for bankruptcy), it is clear the quality of the park experience is in a total and complete free fall. Employees no longer smile and greet, apologize when they fall short, or—gasp—try to go the second mile. Dozens of low life vape and smoke and consume drugs throughout the park and when guests report it, staff and security do nothing about it. Top rides like their legendary Steel Vengeance are falling apart and needing significant maintenance on account of neglect and mismanagement. As a matter of fact, for this very reason, Steel Vengeance was closed this entire weekend as they hastily worked to repair structural issues in the beams that would have led to a catastrophic ride injury—and judging by the state of the beams, likely far worse than the Top Thrill Dragster accident a few years ago. Therefore, second—and my top—recommendation: Avoid this place completely and do yourself and your family a huge favor and instead visit Dollywood or Universal Studios Orlando and ditch this dumpster fire.

The food was okay. I had smoked brisket, potato wedges, coleslaw, and cornbread. My favorite of the three was the potatoes.
