    This restaurant was a mixed bag for me, so I'll list some pros and cons: Pros: - yummy food esp the brisket (the mahi mahi sandwich doesn't look good, but I actually enjoyed it) - beans were yummy and filling too - pretty affordable - service was unprofessional but alright (you can tell this is a local spot because the demographics were... unusual) - byob (the waitress couldn't open the bottle for us, so a regular customer jumped in to help) Cons: - rundown, janky looking space - I got so many bug bites sitting outdoors - my bf AND my fork broke while eating (bad quality plastic utensils) - the vibes and ambiance were so off - the cashier who does the take-out orders was the worst menu explainer I've ever met My manager recommended this spot because of the delicious food. While I do agree that the food was yummy, I didn't like the ambiance or service. So I highly recommend you take-out food here instead of sitting outdoors.

    Great food and corn on the cob

    Great food, service and atmosphere. Friendly staff and real BBQ with a variety of different choices. I loved the corn on the cob it was sweet!! I had the pulled pork sandwich and would come back again!

    Holy smokes (is that the name of a BBQ spot? It should be!) - drove by this spot, saw the smokers going out front and had to change dinner plans and go here. Overall happy - but let me break down the Good vs OK vs Not Great Very good - the ribs, they were quite good, tender, moist, smoky - exactly what you're looking for. Ok - chicken and brisket were tasty but my pieces were a bit on the drier/leaner side. The wait staff was also OK despite others' comments - were they young/inexperienced, yes, but come on - did these reviewers never have summer jobs when they were young? Not great - only 1 kids high chair for the entire place. Same as reviews stated last year; this needs to be resolved or risk turning away young families. Additionally (for those that care) most everything served in plastic containers, plastic utensils - so much waste!

    $30/lb for brisket and it was so tough I threw it away. I expected it to fall apart but instead it was awful

    Tough brisket, and nearly tasteless. I thought that brisket was supposed to be a star of the show! Show's over for me.
