Customer Reviews
It's a skyway restaurant, so you don't really come here for the atmosphere, right? Service was excellent. Both the q and the sides were good. You can nit pick here and there, but overall it's good and way better than fast food.
I pass by this place during my daily walks in the Skywalk. I grabbed lunch here and ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and two sides: Mac and Cheese with Potato Salad. The only thing I ate was the buns and Mac and cheese. The Sassy BBQ sauce was really good. I'm giving only 1 star because the potato salad completely ruined my experience. It tasted like a chemical taste. It was hard too explain the taste but I took another bite and it tastes and smells like a sharpie. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch or if it just tastes like this but I don't think potato salad is supposed to taste like a strong chemical. As I'm writing this I'm getting bad acid reflex from it.
Their pulled pork was old and tasted bad with a funk in it. This place is dishing out bad meat to their customers. That’s disgusting. The portions were very small as well. Don’t waste your money on this place unless you want to get sick. 🤢🤮
It’s located on 2nd floor inside the building, so if you are not from here like me, that’s where it is. The ladies working today were super nice and helpful. I got the platter 2 meats, pork and briskets. The flavor was great but the brisket was dry (that’s why the 4 stars). The sassy bbq sauce is great. Buying a bottle to take home with me. The sides were delicious as well. I do recommend this place. Will come again when in town but won’t be getting the brisket.
Staff helped us decide what to get and how to get it cheapest. The food was super tasty and I wish I ordered more than I did (I never eat as much as I think I will, but in this case I did). It's a simple fast food-like ordering and I'll definitely come again.
