Nothing is more rude than rushing your customers out the door so that you can go clubbing. "We close at 7:30 and we have to alarm the door at 7:50. Not rushing you". We were not the only customers there.

It was very dry. Price was affordable.. but none of us were full or satisfied. It's truly a bummer since we went a good 20 min out of our way. Would not recommend.

Texas style BBQ. Meats were a tad dryer than I prefer but are tasty and tender. Portions were good. Adequate condiments and a quiet atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no stairs.

Ordered a rib sandwich. I got 4 ribs and 2 pieces of bread and a small drink. $17.00. Three of the ribs had very little meat on them. Very disappointed in cost to proportion. Will not be back.

My boys and I enjoyed the BBQ. Prices were reasonable for BBQ, and the portion sizes were good. The Sloppy Jo seems to be the best deal, and was really good. More of a mixed BBQ sandwich than a traditional one.

After driving for 8 hrs nothing beats sitting down to a plate of ribs. We had the Friday special. Plate of ribs with 2 sides for $27. We left full and happy.

Ehh.. maybe im weird but I like my pulled pork pulled not chopped just something off to me when its all diced up .. I think it should be pulled apart by hand with the natural grain of the meat .. but when its super dry like that u probably do need to chop it .. didn't see any bark what so ever looked like chicken brest .. the ribs wer good one was prettyy chewy but the other 2 wer pretty dam good.. I did like the rub it was caramelized on very nicely.. would of liked to see a bit more of a smoke ring but all in all the ribs wer pretty good.. the brisket was also pretty dam good pulled apart nicely and was very juicy again not much of a smoke ring and very little bark but thats probably just that texas pit BBQ.. I like it super smokey and more bark than a junk yard dog but to each his own .. the sides wer horrible.. walmarts potato salad and Cole slaw are far superior.. just because the main focus is meat doesn't mean u can't have halfway decent sides .. I wish I could of seen them first I could of maybe tried the gumbo and got some chips or something but man that potato salad was super bland and the slaw was on par with KFC.. maybe it was an off day for the pulled pork because the ribs and brisket wer actually pretty good .. nothing to write home about but I wasn't disappointed like I was with that dry as pork .. any who not sure how many of these there are or if its a chain but id say the ribs and brisket wer above average but the pulled pork needed alot of sauce .. the sauce was pretty good.. I liked how they keep it warm in the warming tray thing.. id give em 3 stars but the lady doing the sides was hella rude and does not want to be there.. maybe her bad vibes are soaking into those god awful sides.. shes probably whats attracting all the flies .. seriously though whats with all the flies .. it was 37° this morning you shouldn't be having issues like that with flies in December
