I ate dinner here tonight with my wife and two year-old. For the first time in a very long time this restaurant experience felt like I was a guest going to dinner at a friend's house. It was a little shocking at first...not because of anything the staff was doing, but because I forgot what it felt like to be treated so warmly at a restaurant.

I talked to Josh for a minute and told him the customer service was way above and beyond and he explained it's a family-owned business that wants to treat everyone like family. And they absolutely nailed it. Thanks Josh and SCB staff/management!

Specific Examples:
1. Staff intercepted my wife before she could make it to the drink machine and filled up her drink for her.
2. Josh carried one of our trays to the table after we paid because he saw we were wrangling a tired and hungry toddler.
3. Manager asked multiple times if there was anything we needed.
4. Multiple staff held doors for us as we left and thanked us for coming.

When you eat alone, which I most often do, it’s inconvenient to have to leave your table and your food behind to go and refill your tea glass. Even though there were very few other customers inside, I hesitate to leave my food unattended. Their register defaults to a 15% tip so I would’ve expected someone to come around and offer me another roll and to fill my glass. Maybe I just expect too much.

I should have asked for everyone’s name because everyone was so fantastic and sweet. It’s been years since I last came here and the food and service has vastly improved. The brisket was so soft and melt in the mouth. Ribs were fall off the bone, literally. In terms of the meat, it was much better than before. The sides were pretty okay, nothing special but the desserts all slap

Update.. Saturday October 18th 2025 approximately 4:00 .. wow wow wow. With Josh at the helm running the boat must have been the manager's day off didn't notice anyway cuz he never acknowledges me or greets anybody else he hides in the back. Lot of new faces and Josh had everybody on point.. his enthusiasm professionalism and just all around 10 star guy running this boat with a smile. Had everybody pumped like a well-oiled machine in NASCAR . He's like the Tony hawk of skateboarding, Dak Prescott of the cowboys! Dirt devinsky of the Mavericks. He's your number one asset there.the other crew had his momentum and enthusiasm professionalism. For an 18-year-old guy he's rocking .Here again thank your lucky stars that he's your team member running the show. his parents have got to be proud I'm proud of him and he's not even my son.Thank you Josh for being you always smiling polite makes me feel not just like a customer.. but like family.
Ty for letting me share my outstanding experience today

Well today you guys have earned a five-star review all the way across the board and The corporate office can think Josh ,Hunter, and I believe her name was Morgan? The young lady with the blonde ponytail in the green shirt I asked for everybody's names but I forgot the young lady's name. It's guys like Josh that keep me coming back to this establishment. That kid bust his ass he makes sure it's a food's in the containers he makes sure the new kids ringing it up on the computer right he should be the manager he needs a raise. Well the manager was standing in the corner watching how he has a job I don't know but due to your loyal five star employees that actually bust their ass and work hard and are friendly this is why I come to your restaurant. You should get on your knees and pray to God every night that you have guys like Hunter and Josh and the other one that's really good is Rocky. You better think you're lucky stars you have found some awesome employees they all need a raise!!!

the food is fine but the manager is beyond rude. I do not recommend planning an event here. I planned an event 3 months in advance and confirmed the calendar event before spending quite a bit of money mailing out invitations. That was 4 weeks before the event date. The day before the event I called to verify my time for the event and was told i no longer had the reservation. They had bumped me to the following day without any notice. When the manager came on the phone he was mad at me. I had a group of 25 RSVPs and there was no accommodations he could provide. I went ahead and rescheduled a few of the invitees as best I could but still had a few show up. Not o ly did the manager never even greet me or speak to me upon arrival, he rudely walked through my group 3x seating people in the tiny space I was taking up. The restaurant main dining room was not even full.

This is not the first time a manager at this particular location has been rude although this man took it to new heights.

I am incredibly disappointed and unfortunately have to knock this one off my list.

Had the brisket, baby back ribs, corn and beans. All solid but with the immediate competition in the area its below the standard. Ordering is easy and its not the busiest place so it was nice to be able to get in and get out. Ill try again and update if the next round is better.

I can't believe what has changed. I have been ordering food many times, but today I had a very bad experience. I went home, took the food, and when I opened the box, I was ready to eat. As you can see in the attached picture, the BBQ sauce container looks like it has been used. It has stains all the way to the top, and the actual quantity is only at the bottom of the bowl. I'm not concerned about the quantity itself, but the container looks like it has been reused. I can't believe this is the current quality. I am really disappointed and I don't want to drive another 15 minutes to ask for a replacement. Hopefully, someone will see this and do something about it.

It’s not about thanking me for my review. As you can see from the attached image, this is what I had. Please pay attention to the appearance of the sauce container.

When you’re in TX, you should always have bbq! I was craving ribs and Spring Creek rose to the occasion. You go through a line, cafeteria style,choosing your meats and veggies. You pay at the end and seat yourself at the rustic picnic tables. The ambience was fantastic! I asked for fried okra and they whipped up a fresh batch just for me. They were “finger licking good”and the rib meat was especially tender and juicy. They also make fresh rolls continuously and serve up as many as your tummy can hold. It was a friendly and warm environment. A great experience overall.
