Best bbq I’ve had in SB!! Juicy brisket, pulled pork, and the pork ribs had the perfect bite! Even the sweet potato fries were great. As a native Texan I give this bbq spot my stamp of approval.

I had the Tri Tip Dip. BBQ tri tip with smokehouse flavor. So good. This place has plenty of seating in case you want to take the team out to celebrate a victory. You can’t go wrong with great food. Staff was friendly. Several screens were showing a variety of sports programs. The place was very clean. I’ll be back, there’s a lot more on the menu to try!!!

I really debated on the stars. I would’ve done three stars but I think that there is potential so feel comfortable with four.

Was a little hesitant after seeing the reviews. Went in and the service was great, food was plentiful and good flavor. The garlic bread imo was perfectly seasoned but some may say it’s salty. We had brisket, ribs and sweat potatoe/regular fries. I like my ribs dry with ability to wet them. The brisket had good flavor and for once I said I’d wish I’d ordered all brisket!!! The restaurant was clean and tidy. It is not a new building but comfortable feel. We are from Arkansas and struggle to find home style foods even back home!! Thank you for the great meal.

We just left the restaurant and this was our first visit. We read many reviews before going and found the more recent reviews to be more favorable. Unfortunately what most people in the past complained about seemed to still be true. The attendant upon our existing asked me what I thought of the food, so this is what I told her! The Mac and cheese was gummy and tasteless, also the beans were watery and also very bland. The one beef rib I ordered was ok but at $8.00 per rib very over priced. I told her that I could get just as good a rib at the T Off restaurant for $2.50 each on Wednesdays. She seemed genuinely shocked. The brisket that I came for was just ok, it was tender but had no smoke ring and no juice. So overall brisket not awful but forget the sides and by the way very expensive for what it is!! Can’t say I’ll ever go back. If you want real Texas barbecue or it on line and get the real thing! Open brisket challenge $500.00 blind taste test against my brisket!!

Wow – what a great surprise! From out of town – at hospital someone recommended this place. Have lived in Texas and so I have I high bar/standard for BBQ – and they delivered! Oh so good! Great service – very down to earth, low key dining area – and the bbq was spectacular! Highly recommend – you will not be disappointed!!

We waited until they had been open for a while to work out the kinks and to avoid the long lines waiting to try the new place. Maybe we should have waited longer.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was good but I do have some personal critiques. The fries in my opinion needed some salt but salt was provided on most tables so that was nice, the baked beans were on the blander side but still good and I liked that there was some meat in them, and the ribs were nice and meaty the ribs but weren’t as tender as I hoped taking some effort to bite into and remove them the meat. These are all personal preference critiques and as I said early I thought the food was overall good. The environment was very nice and cozy with plenty of seating. Highly recommend if you love BBQ as I do and I can’t wait to come back and try their other options.
