Had the pulled pork nachos, OMG, sooooo good. Paired the nachos with the Chicago Hot BBQ sauce . Guy at the register was very nice. Cute rustic interior design, the windows need a cleaning, very dirty.

Good bbq, tender juicy, liked the brisket and ribs tips. Thought the sauces were a bit underwhelming but overall solid.

I went today May 12, 2023. I ordered two full slabs and the meat tasted old. The baked beans were fantastic as well as the Mac and cheese. The brisket was good but I was given two slices of pure fat. I tipped them $15.00 and I did not get a very good meal. My total bill with tax and tip was over a $100.00. I will not be back, I had a similar visit 8 months ago and thought I would try it again. I was disappointed tonight. You must watch what you are slicing and giving to customers. This did not have to happen. I did not feel a great vibe by the employees.

Had the baby back ribs full slab and the chicken tenders. One side was fries the other was coleslaw. Ribs were a little dry. Tenders were good. Fries good. Coleslaw lacked a bit of flavor. Will try Earl’s again. Used delivery. Next time will try mac n cheese and the beans.

No flavor, ordered salmon tacos! Blue box macaroni made for children, the brisket tacos were ok. Charred corn= flavorless!! However I had a raspberry iced tea mixed with lemonade (self-service) and it was delicious!

For being a small barbecue restaurant it had amazing tasting chicken wings just the right amount of crispiness My crew and I stopped there for lunch was not sure how fast it would be because we get 30 minutes for lunch And we got our lunch very quick The establishment was kept very nice and neet if I am working in the area again I will definitely stop for lunch again or dinner…

Food would have been good if it was actually hot. Some employees were just gossiping, swearing. They didn’t notice they had a customer in the drive-thru for a while. The only employee who was actually good was the cashier. He was being professional

We ordered a half slab of ribs and a large brisket sandwich. Mac and cheese and fries for our sides. Chicago hot and Carolina sauces. Neither were spicy, which was disappointing but it didn’t take away from how delicious the rest of the meal was. I read some reviews that said the service was bad, but I thought the service was great. There’s a couple patio tables but only 2 with umbrellas. 10/10 would recommend

First time there the ribs but the side are small not that good tasting probably will not return . Cost a lot full slab little scoop of corn and a side salad, guess you could call it that more like a cup of taco stuffing just enough for one taco. Very dumpy looking place. Man at register poor hygiene made me question th food knew hi job but people who served or work in restaurants should practice good hygiene after all make coutomers feel better.great ribs bad stone.

Had a good experience with some of the things on this menu. Overall the pulled pork is pretty delicious, the nachos are pretty solid. The salmon, chicken and cornbread are extremely bland. Not the best bbq for the price
