My wife and I both love the food here. Have only been there a few times but I have zero complaints about it. Staff is very friendly as well. You know Lone Star BBQ? Don't go there. Go to Aces.

During our afternoon lunch, our party of six had a few issues with the service. Although the staff was friendly, some areas needed improvement. Our entire party arrived at different times, and it took a while for us to order drinks and appetizers. We noticed a customer getting up several times to help herself at the server station, which seemed a bit odd.Our food came out staggered by different servers, and we waited a while for the final dish to arrive. Unfortunately, this resulted in the earlier dishes getting cold. We also had to walk to the bar twice to ask for a knife, as our server seemed a bit preoccupied and didn't check on us often.The biggest issue we had was the lack of prebussing. After we finished our meals, all of the dishes were left on the table. We didn't order dessert because we didn't want to have dinner plates on the table while trying to enjoy dessert. We tried to drop hints by stacking the plates, but it went unnoticed.As a former server, I understand that things can get busy, but the restaurant was adequately staffed. It would have been great if the server had checked on us more often and offered refills. Removing plates while offering refills would have been a nice touch, but it wasn't an option. We also would have appreciated a check back by the server.Despite these issues, we enjoyed the food and the friendly staff. We hope that the restaurant takes these suggestions into account to improve the overall dining experience for their guests.

Ribs were tough and over priced, very little meat on the ribs since they’re baby backs, but they’re priced like they’re spare ribs. Rice/beans and Fideo are great, good fajita panchos

Went to get some baby back ribs were the best so happy they just melted in my mouth. Would definitely recommend Aces BBQ. Thanks for the friendly people that work there.

Beware of the added charges not posted on the menu. Fajitas not worth the added charge! Went for Sunday lunch ordered 2 meat 2 side plate, price posted on menu $16.99. Ordered turkey and fajitas (new item). Turkey was great! Fajitas very tough, around six small strips were on plate. No where posted on the menu that there was a $3. added charge for the fajitas, nor did the waiter tell me. To my surprise, I got the bill with the added charge of 19.99. If I would have known I would not have chosen the fajitas. I asked to speak to manager to take the up charge off, she even admitted it was not written on the menu. She refused, even when explained I couldn’t eat the fajitas because they were too tough to chew. She wasn’t there to please the customer. Very disappointed with her attitude. Server never came to check on our drinks, we got up twice to serve ourselves refills on our drinks.

I walked in around 6:50 and was greeted by the hostesses very politely, other customers walked in afterwards and were served immediately, even though servers knew I was there, I was completely ignored and decided to walk out around 7:05. the excuse was that the printer ran out of paper. Came to 492 bbq and the wait staff are way more aware of customers and seem to be more organized.

Food was fine. Tasted like they had made the meat a while back. It was pretty good. But not much flavor. I felt a lack of something, maybe i should have added salt, but if you need to add salt then its just not well seasoned. It was fine. Huge portions though!!BBQ sauce was very sweet, and the hot sauce was mild. Should add more spice to the menu

Clean and spacious place. I got a rice and beans mix, macaroni and cheese, 4 rib and brisket plate. I like the pepper sauce more than the BBQ sauce, it complemented the meats well!
