The food was old and dried out. The bun that my sandwich had been toasted way to soon like it was preped the day before. The corn on the cob was over cooked had no taste but water and mush please fix the problem

Edited after 2 months of not hearing back. I responded to the request like whoever below responded and yet there was no response. You make it seem like you are going to respond and make up for the issue yet here it has been radio silence since. If you value your money, do not eat at this business. I cannot speak about the other locations, but I assume it is the same across the board. Once again, it was absolute garbage.

First time ordering food from this place, not sure how it is still open. First and foremost I've wanted to try this place ever since I moved to Texas. I'm glad I waited and didn't waste money on it before.

I ordered a 3 meat plate, a brisket dinner, and some al a carte options. Let's start with the good?

The customer service over the phone was good. I had a question about the delivery order being I couldn't figure something out online and the person answering the phone was super helpful and was great.

The bread and the Carolina mustard sauce for the pulled pork were the best two things in the entire order. With as much stuff I got that's already sitting wrong with me.

The bread was good warm soft bread. The sauce had a nice vinegar punch and mustard feel with a little spice. It was watery, but it was good.

Moving on to the sides. Starting with the beans. Watery, overcooked, under seasoned trash. Let's move to the Mac n cheese. Watery, over cooked pasta, not creamy at all and under seasoned. The potato salad, you remember those store bought tubs have more flavor than this does. It's not terrible potato salad, but those mass produced tubs are better lol. Next side, corn on the cob, I'm sitting here expecting a full size corn on the cob, or even half, nope I got the equivalent of 2 corn nuggets from wing stop.

The potato I got did look good, but I didn't try it was someone else's.

Now let's move on to the meat. Starting with the chicken, I ordered a half chicken. I most certainly got half of something all right. Did you cook Cornish game hens, chopped it in half and called that half a chicken? I got two light meat halves, severely lacking in flavor and smoke, dry with rubbery skin. It was so over cooked the bones disintegrated when I pulled on the wing.

Moving on to the sausage, I got half pound of both traditional and black pepper. Both were garbage. No snap, no smoke flavor, nothing special. The black pepper tasted better than the traditional but neither were that good.

Moving on to the pulled pork. You would have to give me video evidence of you cooking that on a grill for me to belive it was bbq. You cooked that trash in the oven. Little to no smoke, no bark, watery mush. No flavor unless you drenched it in the Carolina sauce. Even that couldn't save the disappointment. I do pulled pork religiously. That was garbage.

The brisket. You definitely had black pepper in your rub. But needed salt. Very little smoke flavor came through. I ordered the marbled and got 2 baby sized pieces of mush. Extremely thin slices. If you were to put a quarter on the table and a slice of that brisket over the top, you would still see the quarter, that's how small of a piece they were. Not length wise but you know what I mean.

Now, I didn't want to come at you for this, because it antisocial looked good, but let me tell you right now, looks can be deceiving. The ribs, they looked good but let me tell you. Under seasoned, over cooked, and not properly prepared st Louis style ribs. You couldn't even remove the silver skin before cooking them. Little to no smoke, baked ribs, finished on a grill to char finish is my guess.

Overall, for anyone reading this, if you want bbq, don't get it from here. Unless you want flavorless, hot garbage. You have to make

We always enjoy coming here. Josh always greets us with a smile and enthusiasm. I've been coming to Spring Creek for 20 years. I honestly prefer it to its competitors. The excellent customer service keeps us coming back. Special thanks to Andrea who also goes above and beyond. Josh and Andrea are fantastic employees. We have never left unhappy.
