An incredible Arlington Fall 2025 Restaurant Week was available for our lunch visit. At $25++ per person for a 3-course lunch, it was unbeatable. The Smoked Brisket Eggrolls are always amazing, the Pulled Pork Sandwich with an array of Sauces was perfect and the dessert of Chocolate Cherry Bread Pudding was just incredible. What a great lunch it was!

I recommend the “A whole lotta Barbecue”. It is a sampler that has 6 meats and 4 sides. There were 3 of us and we had some leftover to take home. This lets you sample all the meats. The brisket was extremely tender and juicy, the turkey was not overly smoky, yet very moist, and the pork belly, ribs, sausages, pulled pork, and chicken were all perfectly cooked. The sides were not an afterthought, they too had character and were very good. Street parking was a challenge, but...

Amazing place. The food was so good and the service was great. Went out with some friends from work which was close by. Highly recommend. I’m also from Texas and this is good BBQ.
