We ordered two junior plates (chopped pork, fried okra, coleslaw; chopped beef, fries, and Mac and cheese) and a chopped beef sandwich. All delicious! Beans and sauce were great too!

No joke, we had to slowly waddle out because everything was that good. The woman running the place was incredibly sweet. When we shared how excited we were about the food, she offered us a sample of the turkey--and wow. It was some of the best turkey I've ever tasted. Moist, flavorful, and perfectly smoked. And then... the potato salad. I've never liked potato salad. Ever. But this one? It literally changed my mind. I'm already planning my next trip back just to get more. If you're anywhere nearby--or even just driving through--do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it. We'll definitely be back!

My dad got the 2 Tree's meal with ribs and cheddar sausage for the meat, and the Pickled Okra Salad, and the White Trash Potato Salad as the two sides. The service we experienced was exceptional. It felt like a community. We got to meet the owner. He is a winner of the cooking tv show Chopped. A very nice, humble man who loves what he does. I'm a fan of chopped and have been since I was a little kid, so it was very cool to me to meet and talk to him. He gave us his Apple Cobbler Burnt Ends for free. The ambiance of Phat Tabb's BBQ was amazing. It captured the western vibe, while also feeling welcoming in many ways. I would highly recommend Phat Tabb's BBQ.

I had the Mac & cheese, hubby had okra and we shared 1/3 pound of turkey, sausage and brisket and an order of the stuffed jalapenos. It smelled so damn good I forgot to take a picture. All and all it beat the pants off of any BBQ joint in Shreveport Bossier (where I'm from). I'd go back tomorrow! A+ food, A+ service!

The outdoor area was awesome for the kids to play, and being in a plaza with other shops makes it an easy family stop. Now for the food plot twist. I ordered the pulled pork, ribs, and chicken. The chicken showed up ready to represent the whole team--tender, smoky, and honestly the MVP of the tray. The pulled pork, however, tasted like it had been placed into the warming tray first thing that morning and was still serving overtime by the time I got there. The ribs looked like competition BBQ, but flavor-wise they mainly introduced me to black pepper and then left the conversation. Sides review: the twice baked potatoes were seasoned well and definitely pulled their weight. The mac and cheese was okay--nothing offensive, nothing life-changing, just there for moral support. Overall, this place has a lot going for it: great service, family-friendly setup, clean atmosphere, and some real potential. But the BBQ was more of a split decision than a knockout.

They stayed on top of the water refills and I appreciated the vat (I'm kidding) I mean the squeeze bottle of ranch dressing (yes, I am one of those people.) The fries had the peels on which I love and they were pretty tasty. I had the mushroom bacon swiss burger and my hubby had the classic burger without cheese. Both burgers were good. He ordered onion rings and those were a big hit. I would also note that the onions rings appeared beer battered and a bit more cakey with a smoother finish than ones with flour breading. That is a personal preference for some. They were very good. I love love love the atmosphere here. It has such a nice patio atmosphere and there were lots of families and couples dining al fresco.
