“ Small BBQ house with typical small town BBQ vibe! Great food, fast friendly service! Looking forward to returning to try other menu items! ”
“ We tried the three meat plate with two sides. Sliced brisket, ribs and pulled pork with cowboy corn and baked beans plus a side of burnt ends. The ribs were our favorite. ”
“ Humongous spilling over the sides meaty tender and super tasty brisket potato!!!! I can't remember a better one I've ever had! It could feed 2 normal people, and stuffed me full as a tick! I had the Sadie baked potato, burnt ends, and tried a bacon wrapped jalapeno. The burnt ends were too tender, I like mine more crispy. I would skip the bacon jalapeno, but that potato was fabulous! I came because of the photos and it was spot on!! Bonus was it tasted as good as it looked! I would definitely return and try the huge sandwich next! The cashier was super friendly and also said the Arlington location is not affiliated with this location, and this location was much preferred by their customers. The simple decor shows off the award winning BBQ and leaves no doubts to their expertise. Well done! ”
“ We went in yesterday to order a loaded potato and a few side items. The service was outstanding. Every staff member was friendly and inviting. Our order was ready SUPER fast and packaged well. My husband and our toddler split the potato, and we still have leftovers. We ordered the bacon wrapped jalapenos. I was too stuffed for them yesterday, but had one with breakfast. Even reheated the next day, it was still top tier. 10/10, we will definitely be back! ”
“ Wow just wow! Love it when i can support small local businesses. This by far the best bbq we have had in these parts. You don't even need sauce it's that juicy and tasty! The price is good for the amounts you get. You could feed a family with the loaded potatoe alone. The pic i took is only half! And the service and people are just so sweet. And all the customers just raved about it when we visited and asked questions. Definitely coming back to try the other half of the menu. Thank you! ”
“ Our first time eating here Saw your restaurant on a barbecue competition on TV. Rachel gave us excellent service and their staff is great I wish there 10 stars instead of 5 will be back very soon! ”
“ I was told to try this place. It did not disappoint. The service is great and the food comes out fast. The amount of food is mind boggling for the price. I can't wait to go back ”
“ Always love coming here! After taking my pup to the vet for shots and check-up , this place Is about 10mins away and pup friendly! Found them on "Bring Fido" app. It's our special treat to come here, and they have a puppy meal they'll have for your furbaby. I usually get some ribs, Brisket and the Sadie. The Sadie is a HUGE baked potato with all sorts of delicious toppings, included Brisket. It's enough for few meals or to share but definitely worth it! Go check it out. ”
