★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 TejalSade · Feb 2026

Once I called for the 1st time and was hung up on immediately after I spoke in ENGLISH; I should have taken that as a RED FLAG! But I really wanted to taste some BBQ. This was my 1st and last time ordering here!!!! I couldn't chew the steak, beef and pork ribs. Unrecognizable. It was TOUGH. It was burnt. The only thing good was the rice and shrimp. The fries were also burnt. I really wanted some BBQ, so I ordered here for the 1st time. Sadly I will never ever again purchase here. I also asked the manager to put sauce and utensils in the bag. That didn't happen. For $70.00 + Tax, I should have had sauces in the bag; example: ketchup for the fries, BBQ sauce for the ribs, maybe hot sauce but THERE WAS NONE! I wish I could receive a refund because my order was not good. Nothing was eaten be

★★★★★ 5.0 That Guyy · Sep 2024

I really liked this place it was to small to eat in so we took our food to the local park but then realized their wasn't no forks or spoons to eat it so remember to check you bag other then that this place was amazing your nose will lead you to the front door just off of smell you kno going to be good. I had the ribs and red snapper, which didn't disappoint it was my first time eating that fish and It was amazing. This place is definitely worth a visit! Enjoy

I got really sick after I ate the chicken and ribs I was throwing up and had diarrhea I highly don’t recommend this place because usually we don’t have problems with the food but this time I really got badly sick I will never go back there again! Save ur self before ur on the toilet and throwing up all day ♥️I was literally crying for my life so please look at the reviews before buying anything!

Well, I didn’t have a good experience. I waited for like 20 minutes in the chaotic thing I mean like there’s so many people that had a attitude for them taking so long with the order. One gentleman had a problem where they were supposed to deliver the food but then they didn’t come. He was waiting for like a half hour so anyhow I get to the counter at 8:15 and the guy tells me that they’re closing so they don’t have any more food to sell is only that to go order is that already we’re online but you don’t close until nine so what the hell is he talking about? Anyhow I said oh well I’ll head on out.

This place used to be good. Not only the chicken is dry, but they either make your order wrong or take forever to prepare it right. Customer service is non-existent at this place.
