Took family out for dinner to Fire Breather BBQ last night. I was the only one in the party who ordered pulled pork. A few hours after getting home I felt very sick and throw up and been having the runs and stomach cramps ever since.I tried reaching out to the restaurant owner/manager today to warn her about the issue and potentially prevent similar situation for others. Left her messages with staff and on her voicemail, none has been returned!Its Wednesday afternoon and still no response from the owner of the restaurant!!!

Was struggling to decide where I wanted to eat until I stumbled upon this place. First time I had it was probably two years ago. Had it again yesterday on 4/27/2021 and let me tell you, best decision ever. The brisket is delicious that literary melts in your mouth (at least the batch I had). I ordered the beast mode combo that includes choice of 3 proteins and one side, did two baby back ribs which was mediocre but hey, I love American bbq. The brisket was the star of the show. Would definitely come back here again.

I am picky when it comes to BBQ and this place HITS! The pulled pork was moist and super tasty. Their sides are also amazing! I wish I lived closer or this place would be my go to for sure!

Ordered a la cart meats to share with family. Ribs are great. Brisket looks good; but tri-tip taste better. Pulled pork is o.k.. Disappointment over the side dishes: apple slaw and sweet potato.

I ordered chicken and beef barbecue yesterday. I had taken a few bites, and look at the bottom of one of the pieces of chicken. It had bluish green mold on it. Not very appetizing! I would avoid this place.

Best place to have some food when in a hurry. The service is swift, rates are convenient, good atmosphere. Will come back again

Beast Mode Plate and Southwest Chop. It's my first time having Fire Breather BBQ. I was super surprised there was no one in the restaurant when I arrived since it was 12:30pm. It did concern me. However, I get my direction from Yelp and the 4 stars meant it must be pretty good. The counter girl was very sweet and efficient. The food was plentiful and tasty. The Southwest Chop was huge! Could serve 5 people easy. I'm definitely going back to try more. I think for $30 it was reasonable for BBQ and the giant salad. We had a good amount of leftovers for later.

I had the opportunity to eat at Fire Breather BBQ in March 2021 and actually ate inside. They offer inside tables along with outside. I tried the carnivore plate which includes 2 meats, a Hawaiian roll, along with one side. The sides include: Cole Slaw, BBQ beans, mixed raw vegetables or roasted sweet potatoes. They do have potato salad but they do charge extra for that side. They sell drinks only by the bottle. No fountain drinks. The food itself is very good. I had the brisket (very tender), along with the pulled pork. Both excellent with bbq sauce on the side. The manager told me that the meats are gluten free and the dry rub they use doesn't have sugar (which is a plus for people wanting to avoid sugar). Prices range from $12 for a single meat plate with side, $18 for a 2 meat plate with side, $24 for a 3 meat plate with side. The staff here is very friendly, the location has ample parking, and delivery is available thru Postmates, UberEats, DoorDash and Grub Hub. I was impressed with everything. I would highly recommend giving Fire Breather a try. I am sure you will end up being a fan.

Just okay. Not the best. Not the worst. I was hoping for juicy, decadent meats and these were not up to par, unfortunately. Tri tip was a grey color. Pulled pork was dry, but had good flavor when adding BBQ sauce. Brisket had a great texture, but lacked “umph”. When I eat BBQ, I’m looking for soul, where you can feel the chef’s love slow cooked into it.

We like a lot to go out. Last night we found this superb place which friends told us about. We had a beautiful time there with excellent cooking and a courteous crew and a distinguished cuisine. We added this place in our list and we shall surely visit again soon. We warmly recommend.

Yummy food! Brisket was on point. Spouse enjoyed the tri tip and baked beans. Definitely coming back

Way too expensive for the amount you get. Portions very small and it was just ehh. Would have liked to have more food. Meat is kinda dry for a brisket which should be very flavorful.
