It’s located on 2nd floor inside the building, so if you are not from here like me, that’s where it is.

I pass by this place during my daily walks in the Skywalk. I grabbed lunch here and ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and two sides: Mac and Cheese with Potatoe Salad. The only thing I ate was the buns and Mac and cheese. The Sassy BBQ sauce was really good. I’m giving only 1 star because the potatoe salad completely ruined my experience. It tasted like a chemical taste. It was hard too explain the taste but I took another bite and it tastes and smells like a sharpie. I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or if it just tastes like this but I don’t think potatoe salad is supposed to taste like a strong chemical. As I’m writing this I’m getting bad acid reflex from it.

Staff helped us decide what to get and how to get it cheapest. The food was super tasty and I wish I ordered more than I did (I never eat as much as I think I will, but in this case I did). It’s a simple fast food-like ordering and I’ll definitely come again.

Ordered the lunch platter. Food was very good, and the prices were good as well, but the hot sauce wasn’t very spicy at all.

Yes, there are better establishments out there and even BBQ but this place is pretty good. It is located in the skywalk and can be pretty busy sometimes so you might wanna go a little early to beat the crowd.

Ordered the nachos with pork. Nachos were really tasty and they were generous with cheese and chips but skimped on the meat. Overall, they were a great value and I would definitely recommend. I’ll have to come back and try their ribs. They have a few choices for bbq sauces. They were all pretty good. Definitely worth a trip!

I got the barbecued egg rolls with Asian sauce. Hubs picked a lunch combo with brisket, garlic bread, slaw and fries. We were given cups for our drinks and some kind of gizmo that helps the server find your table. In spite of so many people, we easily found a clean table. In no time at all, a server came with our food, checked to make sure we were happy and everything was correct. Not only was it correct, it was delicious. Husband loved the brisket and slaw. The fries were seasoned, not his favorite.
