I always ask for the bbq sauce on the side because when I didn't, there was way too much sauce for my liking. Plus the meat is so well seasoned and moist, I didn't want a lot of sauce to cover it up. Their food is good and portions are generous, so I keep coming back. I also had their wings - great flavor and they serve FULL wings (NOT tiny pigeon flats and drumettes like most places ). The wings are normal size, crispy and well seasoned. Again, I asked for sauce on the side. So glad I don't have to drive all the way to the city for Chi style BBQ! They're closed on the weekends so plan accordingly.

We had mild sauce on ours but you can get hot or get it mixed. Not a lot of items on menu but not needed!! My husband doesn't eat coleslaw and he tried theirs and he actually liked it.

Station One Smokehouse offers a variety of different meats by the pound or in sandwich form - brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and more. All the meats will bring a smile to your face. The smoke ring is there, everything is still juicy, and there's quite the variety of sides. BBQ sauces are available with utensils and drinks off to the side, but you could do without the sauce. The food is that good. It's a legit BBQ place when they're not trying to slathering their meats in sauce trying to conceal something. There's also a bar and TVs to enjoy beers and sports that runs the length of the interior. Station One knows their craft and it's nice to see a legitimate BBQ spot. The only problem is that it isn't closer to my house.

Moist and plenty of meat with good flavor. The sides were decent and I really enjoyed the beans. The brisket was probably the second Worst I've ever had. Flavor was meh and t was so dried out the hot link was also way overcooked and dried out but had d dent flavor. The cheddar Jalepeno was solid. Frankly for what should be one of there busiest night no excuse. I would drive down the road to Sharkos on route 59 and 111th before I go back here

The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They helped me choose a drink. The space was clean, including the bathrooms, and most of the restaurant was accessible. Bonus: there's convenient parking in the back. I'll definitely be back

Brisket - not the best I've had, but definitely good Pork Belly Burnt Ends - delicious! The sticky sweet sauce they come in is amazing. Pulled Pork - good Sausage link - meh Mac & Cheese - better than many places, but I'd probably try a different side next time Tater Tots - sooo good! Texas Twinkie - perfect flavor and jalapeno poppers and not usually my thing Pickles and pickled onions - so good! Pecan pie - took this home to eat later and it was one of the best pies I've ever had The BBQ sauce at a place can make it or break it.

Being from Alabama, fresh-brewed sweet tea is a must for me with BBQ. Matt's does not have sweet tea but I called and asked if I could bring my own. I was told sure so that made it extra special for me. As I entered Matt's, I ordered at the counter and I had help from the nice lady. She told me all meat plates come in 1/2 pound but I could order sliders that came in 1/4. That's why I went with the brisket slider and pulled pork slider. I wanted to try the pork belly burnt ends but those didn't come in a sandwich. Both sliders were fantastic! The meat was juicy and what I exactly want from BBQ. The pulled pork slider went extremely well with the Carolina Vinegar sauce like it should. The honey BBQ and hot honey BBQ were better matches with the brisket. I loved all 3 sauces but was most impressed with the Carolina Vinegar. The meat and sauces were impressive but the sides over all were underwhelming for me. Something to note was that this might be the only BBQ joint I have ever been to with so many sides and baked beans was not one of them. The slaw was all right but adding the Carolina vinegar took it to another level. The potato salad was homemade and actually cost an extra $1 for some reason. But I didn't like it because I don't like celery. That one is on me because other than the celery, it was all right. But the side I was most disappointed with was the mac and cheese. The lady behind the counter told me they do not make it in house but buy it frozen and smoke it. They need to find another formula for it because this was not worth $5 for a side of Mac and cheese. The noodles were too doughy and could tell it was indeed frozen at one point and the cheese was more like nacho cheese than real cheese. I couldn't even finish it with how disappointed and disgusted I was with it. Despite the sides, Matt's gets the most important part of BBQ right and that's the meat. The meat and sauces were top notch and I truly appreciate them letting bring in my own sweet tea.

This time I got a 2-meat combo with a small side. I opted for brisket and pulled pork for my meat and Mexican Street Corn (Elotes) for my side. Soon after it came out (fast service for sure!) and I added to the meat one of three different BBQ sauces (sweet). Oh man this hit the spot. The meat was tender and flavorful, the BBQ sauce added so much to it. And the Mexican Street Corn was also on point with the right amount of mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and spices. It was a great meal with decent portions...made it all worthwhile. I'll gladly come back here again for more. Note that they do have many options including daily specials. Today's was three Street Tacos for $12.99

It's not a cheap fast food establishment I don't understand why would treat your business like that. The food was solid. The brisket is brisket.
