Tasty brisket nachos.
Our brisket and cornbread was cold and dry. Best thing was the banana pudding!

Delicious BBQ ribs! Served with sweet or sour BBQ sauces. The brisket is out of this world. Price matches quality of the food. Nice booths for a fun date night or have a seat at the bar. Service can be hit or miss depending on who's working that day. Occasionally you may have to wait a while to get more food / drinks. Always clean and welcoming.

Went there for my first time and the bbq was just ok, here's the good and the bad. The sides really need some focus on the greens had a real strong vinger taste thats not needed. The jalapeño pinto beans was very spicy and the Mac & cheese is really good.The meat need to be seasoned before smoking it that would give it a better taste. The smoke is in the meat just need seasoning. BBQ is subpose to be flavorful not bland

If you would like to have a terrible experience, absolutely go to this restaurant. The food will arrive cold and with zero barbecue flavor. The wait staff will take one hour minimum. This restaurant is nothing more than an overpriced Applebee's. The owners of this dump should learn how to smoke and prepare barbecue. Don't order any of the sides listed on their menu. The jalapeño pinto beans come out of a Costco can. There will also be children screaming around you and filthy napkins on the floor.

Lipstick on my cup and didn't get an apology or anything. Just a story about how they have also had the same thing happen to them at another place. Terrible service. Our food was up in the pass and the server got on his phone and walked past our order went to the back like he needed to text someone then came back out and didn't bring our order. Someone else had to bring it because our service was so oblivious to our food in the pass. I do not recommend this place.

The food there was horrible it was too pink and it didn’t taste good, when I sat down for my meal there were flys everywhere it was disgusting, the service there it was okay the first lady that sat us down she was rude to the other customers next to us to describe the lady dark brown hair and short hair she had tattoos the second girl was really nice she gave me a free lemonade to go.
But overall it wasn’t good.

Wanted to try this place out as it looked like a cool spot to try (looks are deceiving) and it was one of the worst bbq I have ever had. It was raw, undercooked and very bland. For the price, definitely not worth it. No seasoning, no flavor and very little bbq on the meat. Overall, would not recommend this place. To top it off, there was a very rude server who “greeted” us, short shoulder length hair and tattoos. Made it a big deal to give us seating to where we wanted as we did not want to sit by another family which would’ve been super crowded and uncomfortable. Will not be coming back here. If you have left a positive review, you must love very bland food. Lol being Hispanic, flavor is a must in my food.

I loved the food. The brisket, mac & cheese, and cole slaw were delicious. However, it took over 5 minutes for us to be greeted at the door so that we could ask for a table large enough for our group. Our server had an attitude and just wasn't friendly at all. Overall I will probably return and give it another shot just because the food is so good, but if the service doesn't improve I won't be returning.
