★★★★★ 5.0 Luis “NiceSharky” · Jan 2026

First visit. Tried the BBQ Platter, smoked beans, fries, and green chile stew. The ribs and beans were outstanding. The stew and fries were great too.. the brisket was tender, but not the best I've had. Will definitely visit again for the Ribs ! The service was excellent...super friendly and constantly refilling our drinks...wonderful lady.

The service was great. The food... The pulled pork, brisket were dry. Potato salad is most likely from Sysco- it leaves much to be desired. The mac and cheese tasted like raw flour and was gritty. The sausage was gritty and WAY too hot. I did get a free dessert for my birthday and the fried zucchini and ranch were amazing.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zachary Riley · Feb 2026

The wait staff and people are very nice and friendly. Service is excellent. The meats however would make a Texan go hungry. While presentation, price and portion would make you think you’re in for a treat. You’d better order a large drink, a second round and extra sauce to get it down. Brisket, links, ribs, pork all very very dry and bland. Turn the temp down and some seasoning. Other than that pretty decent experience.

Went with a large group imcluding children. Service was excellent! I had their green chili stew and it was excellent. Thick chunky pieces of tender beef, green chili was hot enough but didnt burn your tongue. Potatoes were soft and tasty. It came with a nice hot tortilla. I ordered a large bowl and I was so full and even had enough to take home.

★★★★★ 5.0 Raven M · May 2024

Don't let the negative reviews sway you. The smoked wings and rib ends were yummy. We liked the rib ends a bit better. The green chili stew was very meaty and so tasty! The staff are all super friendly and nice! We're looking forward to coming back soon. We want to try the Buffalo burger and brisket.
