Decent place. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans; nothing exceptional, but the food was okay. I expected the portions to be a bit bigger. Counter service, yet the workers still came off a bit rude. Prices are too expensive to justify coming here all things considered.

Brisket sandwich was fine, nothing really stood out. The side of beans had more meat than beans. I get that it’s a BBQ place but if you already have a sandwich or platter it’s a little over the top.

Dont let the small serving space fool you….this place ROCKS! the smell is inviting from the moment you open the door. The problem is in choosing what to eat. Devell hooked me up with samples, and my taste buds went crazy. I dont think you can make a wrong choice, but we settled on the brisket and burnt ends. OUTSTANDING! My wife raved about the mac and cheese as well as the pickles. The price can’t be beat either. Make this a MUST stop to eat!

Pretty good bbq joint. Not that much space to eat inside though. Cole slaw was pretty good and the fat brisket too. I recommend this only for a quick lunch or grab and go eat somewhere else. Not a seat down type of place.

Got the Brisket Burnt Ends platter and it really does come with a lot of meat. I thought it was pretty good, including the pickles & coleslaw. I also got a side of the 3 Cheese Mac, but it lacked a bit of flavor. Staff was nice and made my order quickly. Will come back.

Canadian speaking here: “the portion sizes are huge!” But thankfully they are; the BBQ is on point. Amongst the best pulled pork sandwiches I’ve had.

Very legit bbq brisket smoked for 15 hours. Sauces are on point and their sides are legitimately very good. Compares favorably to kansas and austin. Watch out for long lines during peak lunch hours. Go early or late.

It’s just not for my taste buds. I need a lot of seasoning and flavors and this missed it. I ordered a pulled chicken salad and the chicken was not the best cooked. Maybe I should have tried the pork but as I tried, 3 Stars for the the chicken dish!

Great food… The brisket and mac and cheese were outstanding. The cole slaw not so much… The service was OK, but too slow.
