What can I say? I’m from Nebraska and was down for school when a friend suggested I try hard eight BBQ. Customer for life! So great! The jalapeño sausage is 10/10. Everything I tried was excellent. I now also highly recommend it!

Stopped by Hard Eight this weekend. By far the best BBQ I’ve had to date. This is coming from someone who has lived in the Southern East coast. Variety of different meats, pretty expensive but absolutely worth every penny. We purchased the brisket, ribeye, jalapeño and cheese sausage and sirloin. All was extremely juicy and not over cooked. Staff were extremely helpful. Will definitely come back!

I love this restaurant! So of course we needed to have our rehearsal dinner here on 4/12/24. Hannah and Ashley were great to work with! We had the private room, which was amazing! Food and service was top notch!
