    the best bbq ive ever had! forced my family to come here and they became just as obsessed (my dad…read moredoesnt like american bbq) the first time i came was on a thursday at 6pm they were sold out of everything we wanted, so we knew the hype was legit. on a sunday at 12 we got the big baller plate for 6 adults and 4 young kids. it fed us perfectly with a bit of leftovers, about 280 with tip. the menu is pretty large, meat focused with some veg options and sides. i love how they have daily specials that always change, and update the menu/announce when things sell out to the line. theres a lot of seating and i like how the utensils and to go station is self serve. there are smokers in the back and they offer tours when the pitboys are in the back! i tried to get one today (sunday morning) but the girl said they werent here today but offered one of their line cooks. super sweet but i declined (ill be back anyways haha) my grandma tried to order the fruits with tajin and chamoy, but they were sold out. they ended up giving her whatever they had left (like less than a 1/4 lb container) for free. so sweet! brisket - practically falls apart! never had it like that before. they even offered if i wanted a moister part which was nice. turkey - underrated. i wasnt expecting anything since turkey is usually super mid and dry, but my whole family was super impressed by how tender and flavorful it was. sausage - forgot what flavors we got but they both had a great snap and was soo juicy ribs - good, i personally like saucy baked ribs more esquites - delicious! i think if youre getting meats its better to get the plain one tbh mac n cheese - bomb, we finished this so fast rice - good, no complaints!

    I don't love BBQ but this place is amazing! All the tables were full and it wasn't even quite…read moredinner time. Did I mention they were sold out of almost everything too? Yeah, it is that good. We tried the turkey bacon avo sando and the pastrami sando. Both were top notch. For sides, the esquites were our fav, followed by the mac n cheese but add pepper! We will be back whenever we can!

    Formerly known as pork belly but now is the kitchen table…read more We decided to come back here a year later with extended family! We loved it the first time and wanted to share it with them. The reason for the 3 stars instead of 5 is fully on the service and not the food. We were there 1.5 hours with no wait to get seated, but once seated we waited 15 minutes before the waiter came to check on us. If they had been busy I would have understood but we were one of two tables in the restaurant at that time. Once the waitress came and took our order we waited forever to get our food. I think there was only one person back running the kitchen. The food was really good but considering how long it took to get our drinks and our food I give it 3 stars. The waiter was never around when we needed refills or had questions. I would like to return but I'm hesitant at the moment.

    Besides being a bit empty, possibly because of our own timing, everything was great!…read more TVs were on, servers were funny and great, and the place was really clean! I came here because I wanted to try funeral potatoes and I was not disappointed at all! A lot of the food sounded really good and I had trouble picking. Luckily, my partner picked a dish and I picked a different dish and both were just great. Shout out to the family business (server was one of the owner's sons) and all the lovely cheesy unhealthy food !!

But surprisingly outside was only 20 minutes. The waitress Leilani was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you! The food was great.

    45+ Minutes in 100° Heat, Passed Over Repeatedly, Then Offered a High-Top for a Toddler…read more Our experience at George's today was so bizarre, frustrating, and poorly handled that I am still trying to understand how a restaurant could treat a family this way. We arrived as a family of three--two adults and our toddler--and were told the wait would be approximately 15-20 minutes. We were added to the waitlist and waited outside in nearly 100-degree heat. While we waited, several parties arrived AFTER us. We know this with certainty because we watched them walk in, add their names to the list, come back outside, and even chatted with some of them while we all waited. Then, one by one, those parties were called inside and seated before us. After the last of them was seated, I finally went inside and asked the front-of-house employee in the pink shirt whether we were even still on the list. She assured me we were and said we were "next." We then waited approximately another 10 minutes. By the time someone finally came for us, our supposed 15-20 minute wait had become 45-46 minutes. And somehow, that wasn't even the most baffling part. We were walked through the restaurant, past multiple empty, standard-height tables, and taken down toward the bar. We passed yet another regular four-seat table there. And then we were offered a high-top table. For two adults and a TODDLER. Our toddler had physically walked into the restaurant with us when we originally put our names on the list. There was never any ambiguity that we had a small child with us. No booster or appropriate toddler seating was offered at this high-top, either. We obviously declined. Expecting a toddler to safely sit at a high-top is not merely impractical--it creates a completely unnecessary fall and safety risk. We were then informed that if we wanted a normal table, we would need to wait another 10-15 minutes. At that point, I was genuinely stunned. We had already waited more than twice the time we were quoted. We had watched parties who arrived after us get seated ahead of us. None of those parties, to our knowledge, were forced to choose between an inappropriate high-top and an additional wait. And we could literally see empty standard tables. When we specifically asked about the empty four-person table near the bar, we were told we couldn't sit there because that server was having a very busy day and it would be another 15-20 minutes before she could take us. So let me understand this: your restaurant allowed a family with a toddler to wait outside in extreme heat for more than 45 minutes, repeatedly seated later-arriving parties ahead of them, finally brought them inside only to offer seating obviously unsuitable for a small child, and then--while empty standard tables were plainly visible--essentially told them to go wait some more? At what point does someone on staff recognize that something has gone badly wrong and attempt to fix it? There was no meaningful apology. No sense of urgency. No empathy. No attempt to problem-solve. No acknowledgment that the original 15-20 minute estimate had turned into 45+ minutes while other guests were seated ahead of us. What makes this experience even more uncomfortable is that we are a mixed-race couple. I cannot say why we were treated differently, and I am not going to make an accusation I cannot prove. But after watching multiple parties who arrived after us be seated before us, only to then be offered uniquely inappropriate seating for our family, I am left questioning why our family was treated differently. Was there some legitimate explanation that was never communicated to us? Was this simply extraordinary incompetence and poor management of the waitlist? Or was there another reason? I genuinely don't know. But the fact that your staff's handling of the situation left us even having to ask that question should concern management. We were patient. We were polite. We waited far longer than we were told we would. We stood outside with our toddler in nearly 100-degree weather and gave your staff every opportunity to make the situation right. Instead, we were met with indifference and a level of front-of-house incompetence that was astonishing. Restaurants get busy. Servers get overwhelmed. Wait estimates can be wrong. None of that explains why multiple parties arriving after us were seated first, why no one noticed or corrected it, why a family visibly accompanied by a toddler was offered a high-top, or why--after more than 45 minutes--no one seemed remotely interested in finding a reasonable solution. We ultimately didn't need special treatment. We expected competent treatment. We didn't receive it. Management should seriously review how the waitlist was handled today and speak with the front-of-house staff involved, because this was one of the most poorly managed and deeply uncomfortable restaurant experiences our family has had.

Funnily enough my husband made a comment about how the only staff there is teenagers which is a little concerning. My husband's onion rings were undercooked and the food was cold but there wasn't anything terribly wrong. We've had it before but the quality was far different this time. The buns were super pale, fries under cooked, sauces were missing etc. We are our food around 7:30pm and me and my husband were up at 3am throwing up. Our kids seem fine but they also only shared a keikei burger and said they didn't like it so they didn't finish their meal. They probably only ate a quarter of the burger each and some fries. We rarely eat out and this was a splurge for us, I'm also pregnant and food poisoning can be super dangerous for a pregnancy so I'm super worried. Overall just sad and disappointed.
