Tried this place for the first time yesterday.
Atmosphere- nice and open. Tables were not right on top of each other like at some joints. It also had a nice covered patio area where you could get some fresh air yet not get sunburned which is perfect for my pale white red self.
Staff- They were very friendly and helpful. One of the family members that owns the place came by and spoke to me for about 5 minutes. She was very helpful and hospitable as you would expect a BBQ joint in the south to be.
Food- The fries rocked. I had a "Big Tex" BBQ sandwich, which is pulled bbq pork on Texas Toast. It was not very big, even the toast was not what I consider full size Texas Toast. The meat was very flavorful and tasted great. They had two types of BBQ sauce, spicy and regular. I liked both of them. Next time I go I will try the Brunswick Stew as that is always an important way for me to gauge how good a bbq joint is. I noticed some signs on the wall saying they were voted #1 for ribs multiple times. I am not really a rib person but I saw them cooking some in the back and they looked and smelled good.
Price- Although the sandwich was a little small, I would say the price was ok.....not great, but ok. I paid like $7.27 for the sandwich, fries and drink combo. Next time I will get water and save a dollar fifty or so.
Negatives- the only negative I can say is the unsweet tea was terrible. I had already paid for it in the combo price but it tasted like maybe the container it was stored in had not been cleaned very well from the last shift. I ended up drinking water. I would have preferred to save the $1.50 and just purchased the sandwich and fries A La Carte.
All in all, judging off my first trip, I would recommend this place. I will need to go a couple more times to get a feel for consistency and such. But so far....Thumbs Up! read more
