We are from Buffalo NY down here on vacation. The host was absolutely amazing we sat at a high top by the bar and he came over and offered to move us to a bigger table so we had more room!! The bartender was our server and he was so attentive and on top of everything. They had a large school party that had about 50 people in it and they did not let that slow them down at all. At the end of that party we ended up speaking with one of the owners and he was so nice! We ended up finding out the host had family from where we are from and that was awesome! The food was amazing, portions were huge! Moral of the story the whole staff was amazing the food came out with perfect timing even with the huge party. Pricing, food, friendliness all worth it here they were amazing

We came in for takeout for a crowd. Drew was very helpful with recommendations. The food was just awesome the brisket was falling apart, the chicken has a great sauce on it, ribs were tender, sides were great. Highly recommend this

Very disappointing and sad BBQ. I had the brisket and pulled chicken combo. Both were very dry , tasteless. Had to use a half bottle of sauce to compensate. Much better BBQ down the road at Texas Jacks or Rocklands. We also had the smoke old fashions which were Ok. Nothing special .( it would be a nice touch point if they used a cocktail glass instead of a water glass to serve cocktails ). Good beer selection and nice staff.

No smoke at all I order the 3 pulled pork, ribs and brisket the meat was "fall off the bone" or mush, but no smoke flavor at all.This was not smoked I'm pretty sure they used a pressure cooker to make it mush. Of the 3 items on the menu one of them should have had a some flavor. This is a place that completely relies on sauce and not meat flavor.

I love the modern twist of using pork belly for burnt ends. They were delicious.

The chef here really shows his skills in smoking not just meat, but vegetables too! Everything was cooked perfectly! Oh and order the smoked old fashioned, you won't regret it ??

Had a great time here. I sat at the bar even though it wasn't crowded on a Sunday evening. I had the Barbaca Tacos and an Apple Jack's martini to drink. Both were good, and the smoke bubble show was amazing. The tacos come with one side, so I selected fries, and every meal comes with cornbread and peach butter. If you're in the Arlington area looking for good BBQ. I would check this one out.

Best smoked chicken nachos ever!!!!! This appetizer could easily be an entree (or shared by 2 as a meal). Very generous amount of tender, smoked chicken. Creamy guac and the salsa were perfection. We ordered ribs with smoked brussel sprouts (oooh so good!), took most of the ribs home as the appetizer was much larger than we anticipated (and who could stop eating those nachos???? Not us, that's for certain!!!) My husband ordered the Cubano with mac 'n cheese and said he'd be back again & again for that! Yes, we will definitely be back!!!! I want to try the smoked salmon next! ?Dietary restrictions: I am gluten intolerant (strict, with Celiac) and really appreciate that the menu is clearly marked and all their bbq sauces are gluten-free.

Service and cleanliness of restaurant were Great. The food was just ok. The banana pudding was absolutely disgusting. I got ribs, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, pork belly bites, and chicken wings. The pork belly bites were my absolute favorite amazing! The rest of the meats were cooked to perfection but lacked flavor, but the bbq sauces helped. The greens were were to spicy you couldn't taste anything else so i sent them back. The Mac and cheese was cheesy just lacked seasoning. The sweet potato mash was good, and the complementary cornbread was good. Overall i give everything like a 7/10

An interesting menu but the brisket and smoked turkey weren't that great. I don't like putting much sauce on my bbq, but the meats in general were pretty dry on their own. The smoked veggies were a nice surprise (like the cauliflower), the wings were unique albeit lacked heat (quite mild tbh), and the ribs were excellent. Perhaps we ordered the wrong food. Not sure if we would go back.

I spent $114. and mistakenly ordered the two meats, pork belly thinking it was burnt ends BUT THEY'RE NOT THE SAME. Management pretty much said too bad. Manager Drew is not kind. So now I am stuck w/ two orders of pork belly that doesn't look edible. JUST unrendered fat. I will never return for those burnt ends as good as they are! Management is the absolute worst. VERY VERY VERY BAD MANAGEMENTCORRECTION: Waitress was very nice, the manager not so much.

Mediocre food and mediocre service. The server was not familiar with the menu nor what items were no longer available. The food was underwhelming and under seasoned.
