The food was absolutely amazing and my waiter Matt did a phenomenal job. He answered all my questions with a smile and he also had a great personality the entire time.In regards to the food; the ribs had just the right amount of pull to them, while being nice and tender.The brisket was extremely juicy and tender as well. Perfectly seasoned. I also got a side of chimichurri, which I highly recommend. It added even more flavor!!!The star of the show was the banana cream bread pudding. It was absolutely to die for.I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some amazing food. I can’t wait to try everything else on the menu.

Very good food, although the portions were small, and very expensive. The one employee there during our visit did a good job.

I had the half rack spare ribs which were dry rubbed and good when dipped in their BBQ saúce. Seating was finding a free table but a lot of tables were just full of dirty dishes though other tables were free - just not enough for 3 of us. The manager saw us waiting and had someone clean the table. Unfortunately person didn't clean the seats which had food still on it. Waitress was very friendly but was covering for someone who hadn't shown up and was actually also doing her shift in an attached restaurant. Think it would have been a better experience otherwise. Located in a new strip mall so many people may not have found it.

HOT TIP -If you look at the "to go" menus in front of the hostess station, there is a stack of to-go menus that included a black $5 off coupon of purchases for $20 or more, so help yourself and get some money off your meal. There are 3 restaurants in this location off the highway - 3 of them are all the same owner, One Mexican, one pizza and this one (BBQ). Seems to me they are competing with themselves for customers since none of them ever seem busy, but who knows the logic of this, maybe they got a deal on the real estate?, or maybe the workers/managers work at all 3? We have been to the Mexican one (Black Agave), and today came to the BBQ one, based on the limited but rave reviews. It was a Sunday around 3pm and the place was empty. In MHO these restaurants have great potential but miss on the details. Things like: never removing the menus from our table, not advertising the specials or HH on any of their communications (not on menus, not on little table signs, not told to you by the waitstaff unless you specifically ask, not on the website, etc), food not quite hot enough...) We were here just before a Mavericks basketball game was about to begin. and all appetizers are 1/2 price during games. - good to know, glad I asked, I am dying to try the deep fried deviled eggs! They do have a few lunch specials listed on the menu, whew! Note though that the QR code on the menu for the beer specials sends your phone to a website where you have to select your location, yada yada... NOT to the beer specials. We ordered a pastrami brisket sandwich to split (upgraded to sweet potato fries) and a cup of the brisket potato chowder. The sandwich was very good, so were the fries, the soup was good, but barely warm.

My husband and I just stopped in for a quick bite while working. We got the Pork Belly Bahn Mi (recommendation from Tyler) and the smoked turkey sandwich with truffle fries and elotes. Portions are good, place is clean and fairly new. It’s like a three-in-one place, they also own the Black agave restaurant attached and also Dough Bros. Location is decent and right off of 635, PLENTY of parking. Our food was great, service was fast. Our waiter Tyler was so friendly and happy! Would definitely recommend sitting at one of his tables. We will be back :)

My date and I went here for the first time last night. The service was terrible, and we don’t require much. The waiter seemed bothered to even take our order. I rarely leave poor reviews, but I’m leaving one here. Save your money and go somewhere else. Food is mediocre. Environment and the layout of the restaurant is odd.
