I went to this location on Zona Rio, Sanchez Taboada, this past Sunday, March 15, 2026. I was very…read moredisappointed with the food and service. I ordered a fish & chips which they were way too salty and when they delivered them, I hardly saw the server. It was 12:20 noon time, very slow, I was the only table (there was another table but was already attended too). I mentioned to the server once I paid and all she said was, "I'll mentioned to the cook". Typical answer. Also, on the fries, I got a lot of little pieces, like from the end of the bag!

The place is small, the food just okay and the prices are great. Had the rib plate; corn was over…read moreboiled, bread has zero flavor, ribs were tender and fell of bone and the sauce was decent. Onion rings were grease bombs! Fries were not crisp and grease too. Skip the draft beer! First they poured one that was flat and warm. A guy in the kitchen adjusted something and I got a different style with carbonation but still warm. CONCLUSION: I'd try another place first for BBQ in TJ. For $22 it was inexpensive but not something I can reccomend you have to try.

Mac and his crew showed up right on time, were incredibly professional, and came fully prepared with everything needed for catering.

More people showed up than we had originally anticipated, and while I was getting nervous, Mac handled everything with total grace. He was prepared and made sure we were still able to feed everyone without any issues. I would highly recommend Hefty Boy BBQ Catering to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious caterer.

And with a kid with celiac, who can get sick for days if a crumb of bread is digested, options are even more limited. We were stoked when the woman at the register pointed out that the bbq and salads were mostly GF (without croutons). And while she did mention there's a chance of cross-contamination with the gluten free pizza, as they make pizzas and there's flour around, she mentioned they change gloves and use clean utensils and have had many celiac folks eat there without issue. Bit we went instead for the most basic and least risky options. Half smoked chicken and a wedge salad. Then I saw the house made pickles. My kid loves pickles. I asked if they were GF. Any seasoning or anything that might contain gluten? She asked the cook and he said no. Gluten free. Which makes sense. They're pickles. Took the order back to the house and the kid went straight for the pickles. I don't have the time to explain how awesome it is when this kid, who's whole outlook on food has been shattered because of the celiac, can have some pickles and not have to think about getting sick. But here we are. From pure joy to anxiety and sadness in two seconds flat. I'm posting this not to bag on this establishment or the people that work there. We know it's a kitchen that serves food and drinks containing gluten. But when I've asked about protocols and tried to do my best to get the info, as well as making it clear that we are trying to be very careful about gluten as it's an allergy, not a preference, and then being reassured that the pickles and the bbq is as safe as they can make it, I was pretty bummed to find a whole freakin crouton in the middle of the container of pickles. Half of which the kid had already happily devoured. We The restaurant industry is not set up for people with food allergies. We know this. We try our best to navigate it by asking questions and getting as much info as possible. There are places that don't even know what celiac is. So we leave. There are places that are extremely knowledgeable about it from front of house to the chef. Those places we can put more trust in. It's never 100%. But fortunately we've had more good experiences than bad with restaurants that take it seriously. I'm sure this was a mistake. Not intentional. Pickles too close to the croutons. I can see how it can happen. All I'm asking is to be better about it. Be aware. Especially when I've asked repeatedly if it's all good and the answer given is yes. Or just tell me it's not safe to eat there for people with celiac and we can be on our way. A lot of restaurants are becoming more aware and offering more GF options. This is great. Lots of people eat gluten free to avoid carbs or because of gluten sensitivity. Celiac is another level. And a painful one at that. We appreciate and love going to eat food at places that take it seriously. Hoping for more of those places in the future. Julian Beer Co. we love you, but take note. Croutons don't belong in your pickles.
