The variety of sauces are incredible, but to me, the star of the show was the pasta salad. It was perfect. The pasta was not overcooked and mushy, and the salad had great flavor. It was so good went back the next day and tried the pork rib ribs, and had the pasta salad again. I wish I lived closer.

The Potato Salad and Pitt Beans were a tad too sweet for my taste and a little overwhelming with the sweet sauces they offer. In general a very delicious meal!

It was a…read moreperfect end to my week, and everything fell perfectly into place as the food and service were as awesome as I've come to expect. I went for the tenders, and they did not disappoint. I really enjoy their honey mustard sauce, too. The Mac & cheese was on-point, and I finished that first. I have to say getting there is slightly a challenge with weird, twisting, narrow streets, but once I arrived, I found parking and was seated in no time. Kudos to another Gus' location for keeping the love going! Y'all rock!

I was excited to give this place a try since I've heard really great things. But going into this…read morewith high expectations, my overall experience fell flat. The chicken was good. Fried evenly, seasoned nicely and it had a little kick to it. I enjoyed it. The sides though were a different story. I had the collards and potato salad. Both were seasoned, but not to my liking. Not to say that they were bad, as everyone prepares their sides a little different. But the collards had a hint of sweetness and it just wasn't for me. The potato salad as well was missing a little something, in my opinion. The meal also came with a slice of bread but I didn't use it. Kind of felt like a waste. My order was for pickup so I didn't get the full experience of dining in, but overall I would still say that it's a nice place worth visiting. I would go again but would try some different sides.

Getting another stamp in our Pizza Passport!!!!…read more Advise that this place is located across the street from the Side Project Brewery.. There is no indoor seating so if it's Hot (like it was when we went) be prepared. The rain cooled it off a bit. I highly recommend the Fries with Parm and Lemon Aioli for dipping!!! We ordered the SPB Special pizza. It was a bit spicy for us with all the peppercinis. But we kept trying to think What is Missing?? It's cheese!! There is no mozzarella or pizza cheese!! Just Parm. So if you want your pizza with cheese.... This one is not for you. We would not order this one again but would go back to try something else. The service was friendly and fast!

The good news is that everything tasted good. I love goat cheese on a pizza (and anywhere else). Yet I didn't enjoy the pizza as much as I could have because cool water and ice were in short supply. You had to ask for ice at the counter. I guess you could maybe get cool water from there too. Outside plenty of warm water was available. I know it's the side project restaurant of a side project brewery, but not everyone drinks alcohol, or should drink only alcohol on very hot days. The heat and the difficulty of keeping cool beverages around us made for a meh experience. We were so hot and sweaty. This is the fault of summer more than Side Project. I felt positively gross after sweating it out for a few hours with my friends, lol. I'll keep it in mind, but for fairer weather nights.

Smoking Barrels BBQ is a family-run, family-friendly spot in South City that's kept my family going…read moreback for years. We've been coming here since before 2020. They used to do more dine-in and since the pandemic, now it seems to be more to-go orders. Not sure why. Either way, the food has always been exceptional quality. Being a family who all has different favorite bbq meats, we generally opt for the picnic barrels and share family style. The table-side service is always friendly; keeping our beverages refilled but not hovering. The bbq is great when it's fresh and still great as leftovers. Favorite sides of ours are the fries as they're perfectly crispy on the outside, and the fried okra. We've tried all their meats, but our favorites tend to be (in no particular order): brisket, pulled pork, sausage, pulled chicken.

We have tried their brisket, pulled pork, fried and smoked chicken wings, fried okra, Mac n cheese, potato salad and green beans. I am truly obsessed with their fried chicken wings! My partner loved them and their brisket and pulled pork. The sides are solid but the real star is the meat. Although we have not dined in, the restaurant is spacious, clean and well decorated. Check out their Instagram for their specials. They will sellout so it's best to plan ahead.

Service was great…read more We ordered smoked wings to start, and I got a rib sandwich that came with a side. Wings were decent, they were crispy. I wasn't a fan of the ranch. The rib sandwich consisted of 3 rib bones on garlic toast, and I chose green beans as the side. The ribs were fine; the green beans were average. It was super cold inside but after mentioned by a couple tables, they adjusted the temperature and it was much more comfortable.

The ribs were quite tender too and the ribs were flavorful itself too despite having dry rub instead of being sauced. The brisket is tender and almost just as good as what I had back in Texas. The macaroni and cheese were decent with the crackers taking it to a whole new level. The cole slaw was refreshing since it helped cut the richness of the meat and the macaroni and cheese since it lacked mayo which makes sense since the meats are rich in flavor. The popover was a nice to have since it's like bread but a little fancier, but it was not necessary. Overall, I recommend this place if you're craving TX-style BBQ in the area.
