We even got to chat with Eddie the Pitmaster for a couple of minutes, he is the real deal. I love BBQ and to me, there is no such thing as bad BBQ. That said, this was super good. I tried their Beef Brisket Platter and part of their The Pig Mac. With Manny the humanoid pig looking on, we dove in. The brisket was flavorful, no sauce needed. There was plenty of fat and plenty of slices. For my two sides I tried their coleslaw, which was fine, and their cucumber salad. I'm a big flavor guy and love cucumber slices soaked in vinegar. After we had ordered our food another customer stopped by our table and praised their The Pig Mac so much, we added it to our order. What a great recommendation. It is a sandwich with a cheesy patty of mac n' cheese, pulled pork on the side. We even got another side and tried their potato salad made with both white and sweet potatoes. I liked the thinking outside the box potato salad. The pulled pork, like the brisket, stood very well on its own without sauce. The pork topping the cheesy patty just worked so well. We will be back.

The house-made chips and dipping sauce were a great addition. I also loved reading the story behind the restaurant. You can tell this is a family-run place where a lot of care and passion goes into the food and the experience. Great food, great story, and a place I'd definitely come back to. Highly recommend the Cuban!

They have a few picnic tables out front and more seating inside. We got a parking spot no problem and went inside. It is an order at the counter place with a dark wood feel. This is not your typical BBQ place, their website describes their restaurant as fast casual + BBQ fusion. Many traditional BBQ items such as ribs and baked beans are not on the menu, yet they offer other items like a Cuban sandwich. I went BBQish and ordered their Double Brisket Burger, and Canadian with a large order of Poutine. I recommend checking out the menu before you go the first time just to make sure you see something you want. My brisket burger was very tender and easy to eat. I liked it even though the caramelized onion added a burnt taste. It was a lot of food. The flavor of the poutine was subtle, and was a lot of fries. High marks on their Cuban sandwich from my dinner companion. I liked the place, liked the people, liked the other customers who we chatted with. We are local but seldom make it out to the beach so nice vacation vibes rubbed off on us as well. We left full and happy.

The ribs fell off the bone by just touching it, amazing. None of the meats were dry or overcooked. The sides were good but not over buttery or greasy. They gave generous amounts of sauce since it was our first time, very kind. The 2 daughters told us it was their parents business, love the family all working together and the girls were so proud of their store. Will be back!

The cornbread and bbq sauces were also super tasty. Also, since it was our first time visiting, T threw in some sodas for free, which was so nice! We are definitely going to spread the word & tell our friends & family in the area to check T&L's out.

Which is large, seems to be able to handle large parties as well! Which is a plus! I had the combo Hot Pot and BBQ, everything on both menus were served I good portions and came out fresh. My server was alittle busy and I waited alittle bit for one of my orders but everything else came out fairly quickly! They have a good buffet of sauces and some off the menu items, everything was clean and up-kept so it was nice. I would definitely come back for another visit!

She was attentive and made sure we had enough to eat. The spicy pork and spicy pork belly was good. The short rib that tried to be galbi was extremely fatty and wasn't Korean style at all. The first two grill we had were clean but the third one was still covered with burnt chars. The rice was also dry. For the money, this place was a poor value for us. If you want to eat a lot of food, then it's a good deal. But for the quality, it fell short for me.

I came with a friend who said they have the best crab cakes. So we each ordered the Maryland Crab Cake meal. Wow I was blown away with how delicious the crab cake is. These crab cakes have an overabundance of crab meat and very little to no filler. The outside had a slight crispiness. The flavor was perfect and left me wishing I had ordered 2 crab cakes. For my sides I had the Deep Fried Corn on the Cob. I foolishly thought it would had been breaded and looking like a corn dog. I was wrong. It was extremely dried out corn. After about 2 bites, I gave up on it. My meal came with 2 Corn Fritters. Their appearance look fabulous, but they were a huge disappointment. The Corn Fritters tasted like a loaf of white bread with no corn flavor. I also had the Spinach Soufflé. I truly enjoyed this. My meal also came with a side of good tasting coleslaw I will be back for the Maryland Crab Cakes and will try some other items from the menu.

I wasn't sure what to expect when seeing the storefront because it's in a strip mall. We sat down in the booth-type seats to the left and found that they were sticky which kind of put me off a little, but I decided to still try it after reading all these reviews. All of the tables were clean and the actual restaurant was clean too. We ordered a single patty burger (for my 4 year old), 2 original Betty sandwiches with sweet potato fries, garlic Parmesan fries, and the bacon cheeseburger. The sweet potato fries were the best. I was wishing for some maple dipping sauce other than what we got. The bread on the chicken sandwich was a bit stale and the ratio of bread to chicken was off for me, however the chicken was delicious.. I was really wishing for a different bun. Same thing with all of our sandwiches... we felt like the bread overpowered the rest of it. I asked for no sauce and ended up getting the sauce... which was fine but I really just wanted to taste the chicken. I will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu! Give it a try if you're in the area!
