I ordered the brisket sandwich. I've eaten a lot of brisket at a lot of places but I've never had it charred over fire. It shockingly good. I would say maybe the best brisket I've ever had. The meat itself was super tender but still moist, then the char brought out all the flavor. I tried the sauces, all of which were good but the meat was the star of the show. I honestly didn't care for the mustard potato salad but didn't mind because there was so much meat on the plate. I'll stop here every time I'm in the area. 10/10

The cook was nice and friendly with help with bbq sauces and what to get. There were a lot of options and sauces available in the fridge. I got the pulled pork sandwich with Mac and cheese.

No. Too expensive I guess Pulled pork has no flavor at all. Ribs were just ok. They want 32 bucks per pound for brisket - don't offer it till 3. If you want a smaller portion the price per pound is more. Why?,?,,, pretty sure I am glad I arrived too early for brisket. I smoke foods at home. With pride. The guests suggested next time we just eat at my house. Fries were ok. Get bottled beer not draft. Lines are not clean. Service was very nice.

I got Baked Beans and asparagus with it, both premium sides so extra. The Sirloin tips were good, however the Bourbon sauce was unlike any Bourbon sauce I've had before. In this case that's not a good thing. It was saved though by the tables Slo's bbq sauce. The Baked Beans were excellent and slightly spicy. The asparagus was a big pass. I would have expected a bbq twist on it, however they were very plain. When you're seated they bring a generous slice of cornbread. It was excellent. They serve honey butter with it, I'd add cinnamon for a nice addition! The service was good. Friendly and helpful. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes, but I'd get a different dish. I was surprised it wasn't busier for a Memorial Sunday lunch.

Food took 16 min after I ordered which is fine for a restaurant but not for tacos. I got the chicken apple taco and the pulled pork taco. The chicken apple taco was fine, I wish the apples brought more flavor instead of just the texture. Now the pulled pork bbq taco I was looking forward to since I really like bbq pulled pork. The pulled pork taco didn't have much pulled pork and was mostly sauce, the avocado cream was way overpowering and abundant where sometimes you would just get a bite of avocado, and the bbq sauce was barely there, wish there was more I could add myself on the table. Overall I was disappointed but I guess I didn't try all the options.

So they slathered some sauce on the top and called it good. Cornbread was good. Everyone complained about the over done meat...and in fine print, beware, if you order the St. Louis style ribs, they will add on a 8.95 cent up charge. For what???? Extra time on the "Barbie?" To top it off, they added a 20% tip to the bill AND they added a 3% surcharge to use our bank card.

After I wanted to go inside to use the bathroom and more importantly wash my hands after eating sticky sauced tacos. I went back inside and asked a lady working the meat counter where their bathroom was. She told me they don't have a public restroom and that there's port a potties outside. And I was like really? What do you guys do in the winter and she said customers had to use the port a potties. That's a bull crap move? So they got bumped off a star and I won't be back until summer. I went inside the one port a potties outside and it had flies in it and poop on the seat. Let's just say we stopped at the first McDonalds we passed on the way home...

The food is amazing! 2 It's very clean. 3. One waitress in particular (Kristen) is the best waitress there. 4 The glasses come super iced over, so it keeps drinks cold longer. 5. I love that they have outdoor seating. 6. Dave the owner is super friendly and has treated us very well. Cons: 1. UNless you have beer in a mug, it's warm. 2. The BBQ sauce bottles don't get cleaned often enough. A lot of times there is dried up sauce all over the bottles. 3. One waitress is a liar (and caused another waitress to yell at us), 4. Another waitress makes it obvious when she doesn't like someone (one waitress is Sarah and I don't remember the other girls name...possibly Katie, but not positive), I saw how the long dark brown haired girl treated a guy that was being nice. I could tell she didn't like him. 5. Red, which is one of the owners is rude to almost everyone i see her talk to (customer and staff), 6. They charge $0.50 more than what the beers are posted as, even after telling multiple waitresses about it, a Michelob Ultra draft is suppose to be $4.50, but they continue to charge $5 7. The wait is so unbelievably slow. I see the waitresses making drinks, putting stuff on the plates, answering to-go orders, ringing people up, so they don't have enough time to wait on customers that are sitting at tables. It should NEVER take 40 mins to get a beverage after ordering it. I've seen multiple complaints on the slowness. We no longer eat here because of all the cons. If you don't treat your customers better, we would come back. I hate leaving a low star rating.

They were pretty busy, but still only took about 20-25 minutesto get out order out. Both sandwiches came and were huge, with slaw, the BBQ choice and had tomatoes on top (which I was a bit skeptical of), but all doubts faded with a few bites. There's definitely an underlying spiciness to it, probably from a good pre-cook pice rub, and the blueberry and bourbon sauce risk turned out better than I could have hoped. Cajun fries were delicious. Good local soda choices, and, even though it seems set up like a grab-n-go place, they have plenty of table space and aren't rushing you out the door if you want to stay. It was a good date.
