    The Chicken salad and the Brisket salad are both to die for! Excellent taste and plenty of chicken and brisket in as well as on the salads.

    See owners comments. They are open weekdays. You can now sit down and they have sodas. They give tips to employees not owners.

    A lot better than any other BBQ in the area. They don't skimp on the servings. The staff is extremely nice to everybody.

    Back in my delivery days, I was always impressed with the freshness and variety of ingredients,…read moretoppings & dressings. The service also was always super-friendly and speedy. Today was the first time I finally got to try their salad myself: got my "Own It" bowl for lunch, and it was just about as good as I'd expected. Everything was fresh (no slimy lettuce or brown avocado or other icky stuff), the portion is *ginormous*, i.e. could easily feed two adults for lunch, and the dressing tasty. My only criticisms would be that the 'roasted corn' was decidedly not - just your regular ole corn, and the kale needs to be treated to a spa day or at least a massage. It was like chewing lawn trimmings. However, those are two minor issues that won't prevent me from getting another salad in the future (minus the lawn trimmings, perhaps), as there are several other combos & dressings waiting to be tasted. Definitely recommended if ya like yer salad ;-)

I typically opt for the "Backyard BBQ" chicken salad and it's delicous. They have several other pre determined options or you can build your own. They also allow substitutions of their ingredients. I've never tried the grain bowls here as I believe that's a fairly new addition to their menu. The restaurant is small with some outside seating but ambiance is limited -- more of an eat and go kind of spot. Pricing is comparable to Mezeh, Roots, Playa bowls and other similar "healthy" options. Most menu items range from $12-14/each.

    Cute joint a bit outside of campus. The atmosphere is quaint and great for a date or family/friends…read moreouting, and the staff and attentive and friendly :) My cousin and I ordered their bbq ribs, beef brisket, cornbread, and some sides. Their ribs are tender, saucy, but a bit on the dry side. We enjoyed the beef brisket, however. It was succulent, moist, and fell apart with each bite, melting in our mouths. Definitely recommend getting the brisket! The cornbread was decent with the butter, but nothing super extraordinary to us. The mac and cheese and beans were also alright. Overall, a good place to try out if you're looking for something outside of downtown campus. Get the brisket!

I do think the pork had…read morepotential to be pretty good, I'd say as is, a 4.5/10 for the pork on its own without any sauce. But for pork being a salty meat, we felt we needed more just to give it some flavor. Unfortunately, their salt packet container was filled exclusively with pepper (this is easily correctable and does not factor into our score). The brisket texture was OK and had a decent color and smoky flavor to it, though it may have been slightly overdone, as it was very dry. If I were to describe the flavor it would be Jack Link's Beef Jerky. The sauces were, to be blunt, not great. The mustard based sauce was pretty much just mustard. There was a ketchup based sauce that didn't offer much else. There were 2 other sauces, neither of which paired well with the 2 meats, and frankly I'm having a hard time even coming up with words to describe them. A way to improve would be a vinegar based sauce for the pulled pork (Carolina style), and offer up a reasonably spicy sauce. The biggest issue was we felt like we were chasing flavor and unable to find it, even mixing and matching sauces and meats. Prices were very reasonable for the quantities of food.
