The bar b Que that has flavor and tenderness. I can't imagine any other rib tips that taste so good without a bar b Que sauce on it!!

HTBBQ Catering really came through to make the food and the presentation the talk of my party. Everything about the arrangements were professional in that they arrived on time, set up a beautiful table in a jiffy, and had everything really well organized. Beth helped me choose a knockout menu and had a handle on all the details. And the food...everybody raved.

Hi friends, once again, another local spot that's not even a full block away from me. I stopped in on Saturday and I love this place for the vibes and also for the ambiance. They have live music and good food! This was around 6:00ish in the evening and I was sooo hungry (I always wait too long to eat) anywho, I digress..lol. I ordered the Mezcal margarita for my drink and the rib tips with mac&cheese and greens for my sides. My drink was made with Mezcal, blackberry basil syrup and fresh lime juice . It was DELICIOUS. Now, I'm giving this 5 stars for the experience and the service ..BUT and you guys know I don't like to do it but I have to be truthful. My food was a 3/5 for me. The portions were lovely so no bones to pick there, but for ME, the tips(which come with a slice of bread as well) were flavorful but the meat portion was a little tough as if they were overdone by a few minutes . The greens didn't taste like much but vinegar and very spicy . The mac and cheese had a lovely sauce but very under seasoned. I don't think it was terrible in any way shape or form. I just feel like things were too much or not enough if that makes sense. Other than that, a lovely experience. Saturday night was blues night and I was tempted to stay for the band but i had other things on my agenda . However, the staff here are amazing and so kind and courteous . Overall I had a great experience and will pop back in and try some more things on the menu . Thank you so much for a good time! See you soon!

Bacon Candy 4 stars Beef Brisket Sandwich on Garlic Breas 3 stars Hot Link 5 stars The Bacon Candy, bacon with a sweet glaze on it. Had it a couple of places. It's very good. The beef brisket sandwich was cooked well but it was bland. The garlic bread was hot, toasty, and flavorful. The house barbecue sauce is decent but this Sandwich didn't do it for me. The hot link however was on point. Really good seasoning, not that hot, but really enjoyed it. I'll go back and try a couple of other things.

Do not eat here if there is live music. The sound man is terrible. The music should not be so loud that your ears are cracking. So loud we couldn't even order so we decided to leave.
