Food is fire. Service is fire. Ambiance is fire. I've never had better ribs than this place, I would recommend it to the die hard BBQ lovers.

The brisket and chicken was the only thing that was good 7/10 could use a lil more flavor but over all it’s fair ??, the worst was the pulled pork -10/10 dry AF it want even edible ?, the short ribs was ok but a lil dry as well , the the other ribs where as dry as the pulled pork ? so a -10/10. The Mac n cheese ? how do you do dry mac n cheese? ?, coleslaw was ok 5/10 potato salad was ok 5/10 nothing to say wow or omg it’s soo good , definitely not worth $66 ??♂️ over all this place in my opinion 3/10 there is so many other place with so much better bbq , oh and the bbq sauce is nothing special as well . Maybe I just went on a wrong day .

Small parking available, street parking too. Small indoor seating with bar and out door seating. Few beers on tap. Service was quick and friendly. Food was hot and delicious. The pulled pork sandwich was great. The ribs and chicken melted off the bone. All in all good experience.

This was our 2nd time here. The first time was amazing. This time the service was ok but they seemed to be out of everything I asked for. Asked for a glass of red wine and side of collard greens which were unavailable on a Friday night. It was not too crowded or anything. The brisket just as last time was great. May take us awhile for us to return based on the low availability of items.

This was the first time I was here.....The ambiance was very There is BEYOND VERY LITTLE SEATING INDOORS.... Ambiance was very humdrum......We were not greeted nor were we acknowledged for our visit .......The menu is incredibly LIMITED.......I am not a "FOODY" by no stretch of the imagination , but the food was not the LATEST & GREATEST (ESPECIALLY FOR THE EXHUBERANTE PRICE)........VERY DRY AND COLD- ANYONE THAT BBQ's WILL INDICATE THIS TO YOU........VERY DISAPPOINTED,WILL NOT RETURN.

Ordered for pick up and it did not disappoint.We had the brisket sliders, baby back ribs, corn bread, side of beans and potato salad.The brisket sliders were by far the best I've ever had. It was full of flavor and juicy. I had the mild bbq sauce with it and it added a good tinge of sweetness to the brisket.The coleslaw also had great flavor (and that says alot from someone who does not like coleslaw).The potato salad was great, it tasted fresh and was seasoned well.The cornbread was nice and warm and I personally do not like corn bread but this one tasted great, like home style cornbread.The Baked beans were okay for me. I think if it didnt have the pork in it, it will taste better to my tastebuds. My boyfriend liked it though. Also, they are not canned from what we can tell.The baby back ribs were full of great flavor, like that smoked packed goodness. It was also a very generous portion for the full rack (can probably share between 3 or 4 people).I will definitely be a regular customer at this spot. Definitely check it out.
It was my 1st time there but as soon as I opened the door I smiled, it smelled soooo good & the food was even better than the smell. The staff was all so polite & attentive. Bailey is the sweetest in the world, the chef Ruben hooked it up!!! Definitely will be back. Don’t second guess yourself & try them out, your stomach & taste buds will thank you!

Delicious BBQ spot. Fair prices and the sides are all excellent. I recommend the weakness for two people was more than enough.

Our favorite BBQ place, hands down. We have tried others when we have the craving on Monday (when Max City is closed) and have yet to find another place that even comes close. Whenever we need to bring food for a potluck, this is our go-to and everyone always raves about it. The BBQ chicken, St. Louis ribs, and brisket are our favorites. Great location with a nice selection of beer and wine as well. Highly recommend this excellent hidden gem in Eagle Rock.
