521 BBQ & Grill

Great start, waitress was nice, friendly and helpful. Got sweet tea. Brought out some amazing hush puppies with honey butter.
Got our appetizer, cheese sticks.
Brought out our good looking food.
It went down hill from there.
The spare ribs had a terrible flavor, grilled pork was dry, potato salad had a weird taste, the top half of the okra was great but the bottom half was super greasy (the bowl needed a grease catcher at the bottom)

Dietary restrictions: The waitress said there is milk in the slaw.

The hush puppies were delicious; the mac-n-cheese was great; the green beans were different, about all I can say about them; the smoked chicken and spare ribs were average at best. I've had better BBQ back in Florida (a state not known for its BBQ).

I came here for lunch because I was working in the area. Figured I’d try a new place. It was not busy @ all. 🚩They give you hush puppies and honey butter. Those were good. I ordered a fish sandwich and fries with an Arnold Palmer. The food came out pretty quick. The bun wasn’t toasted. The fish, idk what kind it was but it was more like frozen fish sticks or tenders had a weird flavor. It tasted like the smell when you open a dishwasher. The tartar sauce was very gross. Sour and had the consistency of pudding. The fries were under cooked, no seasoning and lukewarm. I was there for maybe half an hour and the server asked me twice if I wanted the check and a to go cup so I felt like I was being rushed. I had to douse the sandwich with some honey bbq sauce they had @ the table to finish it. I definitely won’t be back

Got food to go, order was 100% right. Food was great and the green beans were the best green beans I've had. Maybe its just my personal taste but I loved it and they are very nice people as well!

My wife picked up an order for us to eat at home. Literally the worst BBQ I've ever had in my life. Everything tastes like it was several days old and thrown in the microwave. Brisket dry and rubbery, Mac and cheese overcooked and bland, hush puppies stale, ribs chewy and old. Ironically the thing my wife disliked the most was the banana pudding but I thought that was the only thing that was good. Truly disappointed by the rest of the food. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was horrible. I threw it in the trash and didn't even eat it. I'll never order from there again. The manager should be fired for letting such horrible quality food go out the door. Check #1304 if any staff is reading this🤮

Did not like the food. They serve hush puppies with honey butter instead of bread. We had 9 people and none of us liked the food. It wasn't just me. The restaurant was cold. Tea was terrible The server was nice. Would not go back.

Brisket was so dry. Tons of fat on it too. Peeled all the fat off and had two small pieces of dry brisket. Just added it to what taste like bushes baked beans. The white slaw tasted weird, I think celery salt? Hush puppies were a bit dry. Sausage was finished or reheated on a grill. I tasted some smoke on the sausage but not enough fat. Looks non-homemade? Wings were the best part.

Trust The Reviews!
Gots to be the worse place for bbq chicken, unless you enjoy, mildly warm, unsalted canned chicken, if so this is your place. I didn't read the reviews, prior to eating here, wish I did. Service wasn't bad, barely anyone in the place. Brisket was mildly warm. Okra and hush puppies were awesome,So if you like appetizers as meals. I'd go here. First and last time I'll ever come here. Hopefully they can read these and take notes

Four of us ordered take out from here tonight for our Christmas dinner. We were very disappointed. The food was not even close to hot. It was cold. My wings were cooked to death. No ranch either. Everything was dry. The restaurant was not busy at all. Does this place have new owners?

My wife loved the pork chops.
I enjoyed the sliced beef brisket.
Potato salad was noteworthy also.
Definitely reasonable pricing for a BBQ place.
Will be returning
