★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Facts the Dog · Jan 2026

My overall experience with this restaurant was extremely disappointing, from the food quality to how management handled serious concerns. I spent nearly $200 ordering BBQ through Uber Eats, and the food arrived smelling sour and old. The mac and cheese was completely broken down and mushy, with no intact noodles more like baby food than pasta. The pulled pork was also mushy, pasty, and overly shredded, lacking any texture or freshness and emitting a strong unpleasant odor. The ribs were stiff and clearly not fresh. The brisket was especially unacceptable. I paid nearly $40 for what was advertised as one pound, and the portion was significantly smaller. The meat was shredded, burnt, extremely hard and dry, texture, clearly old and improperly handled. The coleslaw smelled like spoiled milk

I really wanted to like this place after hearing good things, but our experience was rough from start to finish. I placed an Uber Eats order for a spicy chicken sandwich, a 1/2 rack of ribs, and chicken wings. The app said the order would be ready at 6:58 PM. I walked in exactly at that time and the app even showed it was ready… but it definitely wasn’t. When I walked in, the guy behind the bar yelled over to me that pickup was “down the hallway.” I went back, there was no bag in the window, just multiple signs telling customers to go back to the lobby if their order wasn’t ready. So I went back to the lobby and stood there until someone finally came out about four minutes later to ask my name. I didn’t leave with my food until 7:10 — twelve minutes past pickup time, and the restaurant wa

Excellent food! The breaded catfish was perfectly cooked — soft and fluffy in the inside with a crispy, golden coating on the outside. The baby back ribs were tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The food was absolutely amazing! The only downside was the slow service, which could use a bit of improvement. Overall, great job, and please keep serving these delicious dishes!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brian Rudisill · Oct 2025

Our 1st time trying Vision BBQ. My wife just got out of the hospital and we were both hungry. She got a free smoked chicken sandwich with $10 purchase were cool with that. I ordered the steak n cheese sub. The meat was very dry. Mac n cheese and coleslaw and my wife homemade fries and baked beans were on point. The waiter was cool 😎. We live like an hour away so it will be awhile. All and all wasn't that bad, just wished meat was way more tender.

I am very sad to not rate this place amazingly. We tried the restaurant week menu. The fish fry starter was amazing! Although, the tofu entree and the desert were barely appetizing. The tofu just didnt have a good flavour and the desert tasted too artificial. Good service and good beer!
