Customer Reviews
This was the worst bbq I ever had. Where do I start. The rib tips were tough and lacked seasoning. I tasted smoke and lighter fluid. The hot link was barely cooked. The fish was greasy and underwhelming. The best thing was the baked beans. The kool-aid will put you in a diabetic coma. I wasted $75 dollars and would not recommend this place to anyone. They need better customer service as well. If you think this place is good, you must not know good bbq. Highly disappointed ☹️
The atmosphere here is not merely casual, but community-centered. The service shows this, too, and it’s a wonderful and relaxed place to enjoy a meal. They played Oldies and 90s R&B while we ate outside under an umbrella with a nice breeze. Everything we tried was delicious: brisket (under the ribs), beef hot links, ribs, baked beans, collard greens, cornbread, and lemon cake. (We had Coke and root beer to drink.) This is East Texas style BBQ, and it was my first time having it. I will happily come back for more and if I am travelling I will happily try more Texas BBQ.
Great food. Great vibe! The whole staff was friendly and felt like family I hadn’t seen in a while. There’s plenty of reviews about the meat, but let me tell you about the COLESLAW. That’s my secret litmus test for a bbq place. Most people don’t care about it, it’s overlooked, or even left untouched on a plate. And a lot of places cut corners with it, because nobody will notice. SO if the coleslaw is good, if they put their effort and love into THAT, then I know everything else will be BOMB. ….This coleslaw about made me CRY it was so good! (And so did everything that followed!) I told the guy at the pit and he said “That’s my grandmas!” Well tell your grandma I love her, and that her coleslaw brought a farmboy from Iowa to tears. 🥹 There’s SO much else on the menu I can’t wait to go back
A Blk Review 👀: I got the brisket sandwich. The sandwich on its own it was great I like the brisket needed a bit more sauce so make sure you get extra. Now the sides, the mac and cheese was so disappointing like I had a taste for some mac and cheese and some baked beans on the side and I wanted to let them touch. Definitely a let down! Nasty, taste like too much chicken bouillon or I'm not sure I didn't like it though and the color was a little off too Orange. The baked beans were okay, sweet, it almost hit but kind of tasted like bushes from the can with no added seasoning. It was my first time I was a little disappointed because it smells great from the outside. Now the service everyone spoke everyone smiled auntie was going off at the cash register felt like home. The entrance has like
Oh my gosh, this barbecue place was incredible—easily one of the best I’ve ever been to! Deanna at the front was super friendly and helpful. I definitely ordered way too much food, but no regrets… leftovers for days! Everything was amazing: the tri-tip, brisket, ribs, mac & cheese, candied yams, and even the catfish—all perfection. I’ll definitely be back!
