    Dropping my daughter off at college and we went here for dinner. While it's not the greatest bbq…read morewe have ever had, we thought it was pretty good. The amount of food was insane though. We ordered a tray, nachos and a pulled chicken sandwich. We thought we ordered the half nachos but did end up with the full. The amount of food could have fed 8 to 10 people. The atmosphere I thought was great. The staff were friendly and fun, and the prices, to us, were crazy low for the amount of food you received. I have no doubt this will be a regular for the college kids, and we will definitely be back when we come visit.

    I stopped in today for lunch and based on the quality of food I have to drop my overall rating to…read morethree stars. Today I ordered a brisket sandwich. I knew the brisket was pulled and not sliced when I ordered. The brisket was the driest least flavorful brisket I have had in a long long time and I regretted my meal choice instantly. The sandwich was large and overstuffed which would have been great, except it meant I had to eat a lot of the dried out meat on its own. Even worse the amount of sauce provided was pathetic. If I had a decent amount of sauce it may have hidden the poor meat. Overall I give the brisket sandwich 1 star and do not recommend it to anyone. Another point that was a bummer was neither my sandwich or Mac and cheese were hot. Eating half cold food that's dried out is ok at a backyard bbq but when paying $15 for lunch I am looking for something of higher quality.

    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!

    The texture of the pulled pork was fine, but it was a tad flavorless. 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.
