If i could give this place 0 stars or negative i absolutely would. I ordered a huge to go order for my family to then once get home realize 2 sides we’re completely forgotten then try to enjoy the food that is then absolutely inedible i’ve never had worse food in my life….burnt ends and bacon so charred you couldn’t bite it even then 2 people had ordered brisket that looked completely different and undercooked then called to speak to a manager which ended up being joe who completely lied to our faces said a refund was processed have waited 2 weeks for it to come and find out he still hadn’t processed it and then wants to not give a full refund when every single piece of this nasty place went in the garbage i will never ever return here and have sent many others to mission bbq where everything is fresh, tastes amazing, never wrong, and the staff is so nice and welcoming

Hello there, well I am terribly sorry.But I'd rather " Fly the Coop " than hit the Firewater. I am from Texas. This is justnot cutting it. The brisket has ( literally ) no flavor. Too bland, the sausage the same. If I were y'all I would ( at least ) inject with ( Clauses ) Texas marinade. Set it and forget it. Big difference. Anyhow, thank you.

I ordered a smokehouse salad and specifically asked for no red onions. I picked up my food and got home to find red onions all in my salad. When I called to let the restaurant know they clearly did not care, did not offer an apology, or any kind of understanding. In fact I was left feeling as if I were trying to put one over on them is something. I will not be visiting this place again and cannot recommend it to anyone else.

Excellent BBQ, albeit a bit pricey. However, great price for kid's complete bbq meal, and some new weekday lunch deals. My kids demand to come here at least twice a month....

This place was so bad it convinced me to write my first ever review. Terrible. First of all, my order was missing several items. From what I did receive I was disappointed in.Mac and cheese was watery, cheese tasted very cheap and artificial.Corn bread (that I didn't order) was soggy.Ribs were very small and dry. Brisket was as dry as BONES and completely flavorless. Stale and soggy fries.I cannot review the other sides I ordered because I never received them.Avoid! Even if I was just unlucky (which I doubt) you cannot be gambling your money on such expensive food. No idea why this place has almost 5 stars.

Their food is just ridiculously delicious. These guys know how to do BBQ - I highly recommend burnt tips, pulled pork, and ribs. Just wow. Coleslaw is perfectly creamy, cornbread is super moist, tastes just like a dessert. This place is SO freakin good.

This place is the best smoke house bbq around, hands down nothing will top this place in a 5-10 mile radius even more, every item here is unique and bursting with flavor, today we got the Full Slab Of Ribs and Pulled Pork And Brisket Sandwich, and Onion Rings and wow were they good! They have so much good stuff here I could go on and on this is the only place where I can say I will try the whole menu one day! It’s that good. Enough said go and try it.

Blew me away. Everything was delicious. My husband is a huge BBQ fanatic & he was impressed as well. The cheddar jalapeños brat & burnt ends were phenomenal. Also get the taffy apple bread pudding it's incredible. Can't wait to come back.

The 3 Cheese Mac and Cheese is the worst! When I opened the container, I realized that it wasn't baked..some of the noodles werent coated in cheese..it seems that cheese sauce is poured over noodles in the individual containers. There is absolutely no flavor to the mac and cheese...very disappointing but side dishes are just as important as great tasting BBQ...The burnt endz were good..but the rib tips seemed fried.
