The barbecue was neither bad nor good; it was unremarkable.

Save your money and go to Mission BBQ. Foods just ok at best. Dry ribs, Mac and cheese is mostly eggs, coleslaw bland. Also despite not being posted or listed on the menu they charge a 20% service fee which I wouldn't have minded if the server actually deserved it.

The food was not good. The wings were fired way too hard and dry even with sauce. The service was good overall but I won't return.

Ordered burnt ends and they were grilled? Burnt ends are meant to be smoked and served. They were so hard I couldn’t even bite into them.

I am an avid BBQ guy and I have never had Brisket with grill marks on it. This seems like it was out of a package. The amount of fat that was on this other piece should have not been put in the box. The pulled pork was ok decent amount of smoke taste but no flavor. The ribs were ok. Overall this was very overpriced for what I got.

After wanting to try some new BBQ spots the wife and I decided to try this place. The food was not good at all honestly. We took it to go, but we only live 5 minutes down the road so it wouldn’t have gotten cold to the point of making the food taste bad or subpar. It came out the kitchen that way.We got ribs, pulled pork, brisket, chicken wings, Mac and cheese, pit beans, and fries. Everything besides the fries was overdone or had some type of bbq sauce slathered over it to make it taste some type of edible. Ribs were dry and tough, brisket was thin and coated in bbq sauce, chicken wings were fine actually, (good heat and flavor on the smoky habanero) and pulled pork had no flavor until I put my own hot sauce on it.I personally liked the pit beans, my wife did not, and the fries were tolerable. DO NOT GET THE MAC AND CHEESE! ITS TRASH!This is already a long review so I’ll get to the point about service quickly. We got our food to go so I personally will not be tipping when you’ve truly done nothing service wise. Young lady had a snarky tone and unhappy look to see people walk in. My wife overheard her and the bartender’s rude conversation about military personnel not tipping unless it’s a Monday (they have military discounts on Monday). And yes, I may be military but you do not instantly deserve a tip when all you did was click eight buttons on a computer and walk my food from the window to the bar where we were seated. Not even 15 feet.Overall not a pleasant experience, and we will not be back to this establishment.Mission BBQ has this place beat by miles, on price, food, and service.

It's not really a family spot, and the bbq was just ok...chemical kind of taste instead of hardwood smoked. The fried okra was the best thing our group sampled.

We decided to check this place out after leaving the Exchange, and we were both happy that we did. The food was delicious, the waitress was friendly and attentive, and we loved the laid back, casual sports bar feel atmosphere. All the food was flavorful and came out pretty quickly and hot. Check them out!
