I don't think it would cost much to make this happen and they'd probably save a lot on sauce cost because when I came here with my B-friend's family, for Father's Day. Everybody poured ketchup, bbq & Worcestershire and that spicy white stuff & probably some sauces I'm forgetting about, that all ended up in the trash, mostly. I think it would behoove them to get the little squeeze bottles so that people can squeeze as they go and not just fill up little buckets of sauce and throw them right into the trash after dipping once. I don't think he would even need to have enough sauces for every table... Just a handful. People are pretty levelheaded, and I believe this would not be hard to save a lot of wasted sauce and product cost loss. Leaving five stars because the meats are phenomenal. I'm not gonna do a star just because the sauce situation is awkward. Had a great time! I used to love coming here when Gwen worked here... The drink selections are great! Atmosphere is phenomenal. Great seating outside with a big stage. Plenty of space for children to run around and play. I will definitely continue to come back. I have high hopes for the sauce situation to be slightly altered to avoid loss/waste. Hopefully someday soon.

Can't wait to try one of the sandos next time!

Eddie, the genius behind the looming success of the BBQ delicacy known at 7B BBQ offered me a…read moresample of his work in exchange for an honest review. He knew I was a native born Texican, and that I had encountered my share of legit BBQ. I freely admit, I didn't play hard to get. The following is my honest appraisal of the pork spareribs he handed me. And I'm talking about a legit smoked meat, not a backyard event where hamburgers and hotdogs are considered a BBQ. I could smell the aroma of seasoning, sauce, and smoke, long before I opened the foil packet and gasped. However, what struck me the most, I could smell the meat more than the seasonings applied to it. Let me say, when it comes to BBQ, I don't give a sideways rip what the presentation is. I want flavor more than I want to appreciate the beauty of the meal. Yet, I have to say, I noticed the bark on the edges of the ribs, and how the smoke saturated the meat giving an orangish hue. I was shocked at how appealing the meat appeared. It simply looked delicious! The ribs wore a thin layer of Eddie's homemade sauce. At first, I was slightly disappointed to see that he wasn't very generous with his slathering of sauce. But, when I experienced my first bite, I immediately knew what he had done. His sauce was slightly sweet and slightly tangy, but not one of those profiles dominated the flavor. The sauce was a perfect complement to the smokiness of the meat. The smoke and sauce worked in tandem to create a perfect flavor profile. Talk about synergy! Any more sauce would have overpowered the natural flavor of the meat. And while we're at it, the smoke was just right, as well. The oak wasn't overpowering, nor was it fragile. The smoke was just right to create a trifecta of flavor in full harmony with the sauce and the meat. I've danced around the meat flavor, but let me emphasis to you that the natural flavor was absolutely apparent. The meat should never be drenched in sauce, otherwise I always suspect it was cooked too long, or--gasp--reheated. And let's address the seasoning before I go any farther. From what I understand, Eddie has perfected an amazing blend of three dominate spices, and he applies them in equal portions to the meat. Some Texas BBQ tends to be salty and peppery, but that would never suit the delicate palates along the Canadian border. To them, bold and daring equate to overpowering and unsavory, which results in unpleasant. Way up north, his seasoning is a proper blend that respects his local community and will not offend! So, I've covered just about everything except for the texture. Eddie warned me several times that the meat wasn't as tender as he preferred, but if he cooked it any longer, it would move toward mushy or completely overdone. Well, I grabbed one of the rib bones and it pulled away clean! Could the meat have been more tender? Perhaps. But, in full disclosure, he cooked the meat in his smoker and the outside temperature was roughly 25 degrees that day, and it's hard to keep the temperature dialed in on such a cold day. Can you tell I enjoyed these ribs? And I promise you the brisket is equally enjoyable! In closing, let me tell you just a tiny bit more. Eddie has mastered the BBQ process by investing heavily in learning the history behind the science, and spent three years testing his theories and putting them to the taste test before he would ever attempt to be in business. The final bit of info you might appreciate: Eddie has a long established habit of cooking meals for needy families, which is something of a ministry for him. He's a kind, caring man, and he has a heart of gold. And if you think that's impressive, wait until you meet his even more amazing wife! #todaysdiscovery

Ok, here's the story. I was out-and-about, feeling a little under the weather (no, not the "C"…read moreword) and trying to figure out what to get. Thought about something simple like rice and beans from Joes, but as I was driving by the food court, had read about Shilla for a while and had been wondering ... I decided to support the food truck industry this time. Navigated the icy snow, and rolled up to the truck where there was a menu sans prices. I ask and it's $14 for the Ramen with a $3 charge for container if I haven't brought one with me (ouch I think). Still, a local burger nowadays floats in the same range if not higher (thinking restaurant not fast food) and I was given one gratis as it was my first time - after that I'm on my own! So, I wait in my car a little (made to order and it was freezing outside), picked up the food with a smile from the chef, and drove home. Sit down, pop off the top and OH EM GEE !!!!! Wishing now I had thought ahead to take a pic of the beginning vs the end. Chock full to the top of everything. Stunning broth, very slightly spicy - not a lot - but enough to be there and a mixture of slightly sweet, salty, meaty and just dahm tasty! Perfect Umami. Added in were succulent pieces of perfectly cooked chicken, with thinly shredded carrots and purple cabbage, and crunchy noodles arranged on the top along with a personal fav DAIKON! lol For those who haven't had this yumminess before or it looks a little odd (it is bright yellow after all) it's a radish that is slightly salty, sweet and crunchy and a perfect accompaniment to everything else. I don't know where they get it? Cos you def can't find it here in town. (Insert sad face) I was in heaven. I thought I wasn't very hungry, yeah, well, that was wrong. Couldn't make it all the way through the bowl though because under all of the above was hiding a huge serving of ramen. Not your instant pot noodle kind, nope ...the firm yet soft, full of flavor from the broth real stuff. YUM!!! So, am I happy I stopped, yes. Do I mind the price now I've eaten it and seen how much is there? Nope. Was it totally worth it. Absolutely yes!!! I even was kind enough to share some with my youngest son. Only a small bowl tho, even though he was giving me those eyes, grin. He loved it too and would have been straight down there himself, but they had just closed. End of the story is, don't let the very strange negative reviews floating around put you off. I don't know what universe those folks live in or on, but it was so not my experience. Both with the service (serious but kind - just a professional chef about to "wok" vs fast food front person kinda deal?), the food is definitely authentic, cooked to order (so you are better off calling ahead if you don't want to wait?) OH, and bring own container :) If you want Americanized "Asian" food like stir fry with broccoli and mushrooms - don't go. If you want to expand your tastebuds, get to experience (perhaps) a new cuisine and have something truly VERY good to eat, then go. I'd like to say mention me and receive 10 percent off, but I can't, grin. I can say you will thank me if you listen to this review :) PS I'm also feeling a lot better! It had rejuvenating qualities :)

First time trying this place. The burger was actually pretty good, definitely better than average,…read morealthough I wouldn't quite crown it "best burger in town" despite the optimism printed on the employees' shirts. The fries were another story. They tasted like the fryer oil had been there long enough to earn a pension. The milkshake was perfectly average; nothing offensive, nothing memorable. The prices were a little ambitious for what you get, especially considering we were the only customers in the place and there seemed to be 6-8 employees working, all of whom appeared to be high-school age. For a minute I wondered if I had accidentally walked into fifth-period home economics and that day's lesson was "Running a Burger Joint." There were enough teenagers behind the counter to staff a small cafeteria, yet somehow only one table to serve. Then things took a turn. One of the employees was standing behind the counter with her hand not just down the back of her pants, but visibly inside her underwear. At that point, my concerns about the fryer oil suddenly felt petty. The burger was good enough that I probably would have come back. But once you see a food-service employee conducting what appeared to be a very thorough personal inventory below the waistband, it becomes difficult to concentrate on seasoning, texture, or anything else food-related. Good burger. Mediocre fries. Average shake. High prices. Truly unforgettable sanitation theater. I came in wondering whether they really had the best burgers in town. I left mostly wondering whether fifth-period home ec had gotten to the handwashing chapter yet.
