I would NOT recommend this place to anyone!!!!!!! My brother, sister in law and I went for dinner last night it was awful. Here’s my brother's review left on yelp. Had to give a 1 star as there was no zero star option. We waited over 5min to be seated when there was no one else in line. Only three tables were seated. Waitress stood at the bar waiting for drinks to be poured instead of seating us. We never got silverware and had to ask the bartender for some. First red flag was a small print on the menu, they charge 4% per debit/credit swipe? What? We had cash though (more on that later). Took over an hour to get food with no apologies or updates till we asked at the hour mark. They ran out of chicken at some point but the wait staff had no knowledge of this till well after we ordered. Food came out and it was all cold. Not one thing was hot, sides were luke warm at best. Corn on the cob was soggy and tasted like it had been heated in the microwave. The flavor was sub par, tasted like unseasoned meat with some bbq sauce drizzled on it. As we finished the bartender came to check on us, not our waitress and we complained about the food and service. We got no compensation. At this point we were ready to just pay and leave. We hand over the cash cause no way were we gonna be charged to use a card. Then they come to bring us change but only brought the bills. THEY KEPT THE REST. DO NOT GO HERE. IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. You want better bbq? Go get a cold case rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and a cheapy $1 bbq sauce.

Tried to call for takeout probably 4 or 5 times but nobody would answer. Thought I'd give this place a shot since it's newer and was craving some BBQ but no luck with service.

Brisket sandwich was filling, quality of meat was good, but the flavor was a bit flat. The side of salad is a small bowl of mostly iceberg lettuce. I also got some cornbread. It had jalapeños in it and I was not advised of this; found out on first bite; not my fave and waitstaff should tell customers that it's not just cornbread.

An extra star for food being served hot. Weirdest coleslaw I've ever had...not tangy. More Smokey like a macaroni salad. Mac n cheese...yikes. It's like eating boiled noodles with no cheese. I'm scratching my head at it. Chili cheeseburger is an open faced bun with sour tasting chilli slathered on top with raw onions. This place will be out of business in a year. Gross.

Walking in people were seated with drinks; it took awhile for someone to acknowledge us and then we were seated; we received drinks; 10 min later we gave our order; about an hour later we received food; she told us they were behind but the only really hot thing on the platter was the beans. Everything else was warm; chicken was dry; brisket dry; the sausage was a hot dog; no corn on the cob although it's states it on the menu - they were going to "check" on it. The cornbread was good it had a jalapeño sprinkled throughout gave it a kick. Whoever is "cooking" needs to do a better job in preparation and the servers need to organize themselves. Disjointed. Maybe when they get their stuff right we will be back but as it stands...

Even though there were only 4 tables seated it took about 55 mins to get food. In my drink was a very long black hair. I’m a red head. Also it wasn’t the cleanest place I have been in. We should have just left. But we wanted to give it a try. My husband said his burger was good. But my pork bbq and loaded fries were not. A lot of fat in my meat. The fries were so overly cooked that they were hard. And my food arrived luke warm. Waitress was friendly but came once to take order. Twice to deliver drinks. And third time to deliver food. Didn’t check on us once. Never asked how is everything. And even with the long wait time it would have been nice for her to stop in and say y’all still doing good? Need some more drinks while waiting? Nothing. I had to flag her to bring us our check. And bc it had taken so long I handed her my card without looking at or getting bill. We were past ready to go. Sorry but I would not recommend. Overall not a good experience and food not worth what we paid.

First time coming to this establishment and will not be back, I love bbq and ordered a brisket sandwich which was soggy, the coleslaw was decent and we also ordered a half rack of ribs which was smothered in bbq sauce which was dry and no flavor, the bbq beans were not great either, Customer service was good, but overall the food was ok, when I think of bbq I think of flavor and smokiness but that's how I like it.

Was looking forward to trying this place because we love ourselves some barbecue. I hate complaining about a place, especially if it's a small business and it's new, but we came here on Valentine's Day so we could see what they were like when the place is hopping and they are fully staffed. The place was not hopping and there was barely any service. Our waitress was nice, but once she got our order and gave us our water, she disappeared for an hour. She didn't disappear because it was busy because it was the exact opposite. I don't know if they were playing sudoku in the back or just shooting the breeze, but there were barely any customers there and yet it took over an hour for our food to come out. We started getting up to leave and as we were putting on our coats, that's when the food came out. It's like it was a social experiment- how long will people wait for their food before they will leave because of lack of service. Once the food came out, it was okay, but definitely not worth the wait. Plus the restaurant has a weird ambiance- there are barely any tables in it compared tothe space they have. Maybe they want to keep it modular so they can serve as an event space or something, but with the high ceilings and lack of enough furniture, it feels like a liminal space whose isolation we violated. God bless these people because I do want them to thrive, but they have to do better. As for me, I'm probably not coming back to see if they succeed.

First visit and our server, Ari was great. I ordered the brisket sandwich w/o the bread. Not impressed, dry and no flavor. I had 2 bites and told Ari, but no adjustment or offering. My husband had the ribs, and they were amazing! Tender, flavorful. I was not happy that the coleslaw only came as "sweet/spicy". I can't eat spicy and feel a bbq place should have a coleslaw that is not spicy. Beers were very cold. Cornbread had green Chili's in it, I wouldn't mess with regular cornbread.

We went for breakfast. Huge mistake. Service was super slow. At least she was nice. Food was bland and covered in grease. Portions are big but flavorless.Only one other couple was in the place and it still took more than 10 minutes to get seated and order a cup of coffee.

Where do I start? Pros: The corn bread is good. So is the slaw. Cons: (This is lengthy) 1. The Mac and cheese had hardly any cheese and it tasted like it was straight from a microwave. It was also dry and not creamy like any real BBQ spot would make. 2. The BBQ "sausage" you'd expect to be at a minimum a Hillshire smoked sausage. Nope, you get two grilled hot dogs. 3. The BBQ chicken did not have any smoke flavor nor smoke ring. It was tough, overly lathered in what tastes like store bought sauce, and just not good. 4. The BBQ ribs did not have any significant smoke flavor either. Seems like it was grilled and then foiled to make it tender. Also absolutely doused in store bought sauce. 5. Corn on the cob is the same that you get from any grocery store. Tasted like it was boiled and buttered with salt and pepper. Standard fare but not BBQ restaurant standard. 6. The pulled pork was dry and accompanied by French fries and more store bought BBQ sauce. Just look at the picture. Dry as the Sahara. 7. I placed a to go order in the restaurant and waited 30 minutes for this food. The kicker is the restaurant was not busy at all. To sum things up, don't eat here. I gave this place a chance but I should've listened to the other reviews. Worst of all, the ticket was over $70 for what amounted to 7 Eleven gas station quality food.
