This place has the worst BBQ I have ever had.They should be ashamed to call this "BBQ". First of all they use this second grade delivery service that took an hour and a half to get delivered and no one to talk to to check status. The food arrived cold, had to warm it up after adding Sweet baby rays BBQ and my Sons chicken tender kids meal looked like it was half eaten. There were literally 8 fries and 2 tiny pieces of chicken. The brisket was cold and chewy, not to mention the BBQ sauce was bitter and had WAY too much vinegar. The best part of it all was the burger buns in a plastic bag (the same bag it came with) -Talk about presentation! Lastly, Kraft in a box makes a WAAAYY better Mac and cheese than this place. The pasta was soggy, overcooked and the cheese had ZERO taste. I never leave a review but in this case I just had to warn people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. 0 Stars!!

I like BBQ so it is difficult to write a review on it without being overly critical. But, here goes. When you walk in the smell of a wood fire flavors the air just enough to make your mouth water. The atmosphere is casual with a small bar at one end of the dining room. The staff has alway been very friendly and Kourtney was no exception to that today and in fact, she was awesome! She was very attentive and checked often to see if I needed anything. The place is also very clean. Today the dinner was ribs but I could have chosen pulled port or brisket to go with two of the multitude of side items offered. Now there are several keys to good ribs and one of them has to be the sauce. Theirs has a smokey sweetness to it that adds that "must have" flavor to them. There is a choice of hot, mild or sweet sauces- all are good. The ribs were meaty and also had a good smoke flavor as they almost fell off the bones. Other places may get more visitors but that's because their patrons don't know about this place---they should!

I don't know what is worst... me waiting 7 minutes, or them hanging up without speaking to me after 7 minutes

My review is based off of customer service and not the food. I called off and on for a few hours and each time the line was busy. When I finally got an answer, I was asked to hold. I wasn't actually put on hold, but the phone was laid down. I could hear ladies talking. After 7 minutes, someone picked up and without saying anything, hung the phone up. I called back and asked to speak to a manager. Jamie got on the phone and said that she was sorry. Before we moved, we always ordered from ChooChoo BBQ.... we were going to try Sweeney's because it is close to our new house. Needless to say, I just placed the order at ChooChoo. They picked up, put me on hold for less than 20 seconds and pleasantly took my order.

Very nice air conditioned and clean

The pull pork sandwish is pretty basic but fresh and tender is not heavely smoked...the sauce is sweet...bake beans are what you would expect and slaw eas plain not creamy same for mc and cheese...creamy but nothing out of ordinary....white beans were very plain but also satisfying...the beef was tender and lighly smoked...i give it a 4 for thw quality of the food and the price...all in all i would come again...the staff qas evey helpful and friendly...they allow you to taste...the potato salad was mayo based and was quite delish!!! GREAT SERVICE!
