I visited this place on a Monday evening and had the most amazing food. I tried the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs, with fried okra and BBQ beans. I believe everything is seasoned with salt and pepper, but it all tastes perfectly seasoned. Even the friend okra was salt and peppered and it was amazing!! The Brisket was the best I've ever had. Definitely will visit if in in the area again!

Ordered on Grubhub because their phones were off. Tried calling 6 times to ask if you can still get dinner during a show. Regardless all my food was cold. The Cole slaw was disgusting. Looked and tasted like it was made 3 weeks ago. Mac and cheese was bland. Banana pudding was runny and definitely instant pudding. The brisket was okay. The sausage was mids AF. 0/10 would not recommend.

Terrible place for a concert. Too small a spot, and too many people. I got the ribs since i was hungry, they were over seasoned and the BBQ sauce tasted like someone added cheap marinara sauce into it. The service was aight tho

Avoid the brisket and you’ll be fine, or try the brisket and pretend you’re in the Sahara.The sausage was ok, typical texas jalapeno cheddar sausage.The sides were good.

Good food and service. The back was closed for a private party so that was a bummer

As a concert venue, this is hands down the worst venue I've been to. Absolutely no parking spaces at all, and they oversell tickets so you have to choose between being packed in like a sardine with no space to move, or stand on a platform thats 3 feet below where the stage is and GA standing, so you can't see anything at all (outside of other peoples legs). Will avoid this place at all costs going forward. I also got some food while I was here, extremely mediocre and definitely not worth the price. We left early because we couldn't see anything at all.

TL;DR - As a concert venue, ruined my experience.Came here for a concert. Security confiscated a knife I'd accidentally left in my pocket (it's small and lightweight).They had given me the impression I could return to collect it after the show, but evidently not all security was on the same page because one guard had to find the security manager to figure out where the bucket of confiscated items went.The manager eventually came by and told the guard that they throw out those items, WHICH IS FAIR, except I could've been TOLD that and left it in my car.Instead I've effectively had my knife stolen from me.I wasn't even the only person stolen from. There were quite a few pepper sprays alongside my knife that had been confiscated.It didn't help that the manager was particularly rude right out the gate without me having said a word to her.Additionally, they'd invited a group that was fairly popular and so the actual crowd area was pretty stuffed and the overflow space was down a set of stairs so anyone stuck in the back just could not hope to see a thing. Venue was fine enough as is, just sold too many tickets.These are simple fixes. Do better.

if you're stood in the back, near the bar/ building, you cannot see the artist. you can only see the top of the stage, where the lights are. parking sucks. the neighborhood sucks. complete waste of money.

This place is TERRIBLE, you can’t get to the GA area it’s so over capacity.

Ferris Wheelers BBQ is an absolute must-visit for any barbecue lover. Their Texas Trinity and brisket queso are menu superstars, boasting out-of-this-world flavors crafted with expertise. What sets them apart is the exceptional service - the staff handles any minor missteps with grace, going above and beyond to make things right for the customer.

Yummy food! Fun backyard feel.

I got the spare ribs, bbq mac and cheese, campfire beans, and their draft beer.The beans have tons of flavor, a bit on the spicy side. While I appreciate the ferris wheel pasta shape on the mac, the flavor was bland and disappointing. The smoked ribs were delicious and tender. You get about 4 ribs but after 2 I was full. The hot BBQ sauce is genius. An even balance of hot sauce and BBQ sauce at the same time. The fried okra was good too.The backyard patio is definitely a highlight and the servers are wonderful.
