Good brisket sandwich! Light and fluffy cornbread was really good! Collard greens were excellent, I didn’t get any bacon or pork flavor, just the natural taste of the greens with a touch of vinegar. The Mac and cheese had excellent texture, but a little shy on flavor, but nothing a pinch of salt and pepper wouldn’t fix. Overall very good!

Great dog friendly place to eat! Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. Atmosphere was very hipster chic, but cutely done. Be aware all seating is outdoor. Unlike many who boast "Texas BBQ" this place actually delivers. The brisket was juicy, and the sausage was amazing. For the sides: Mac n cheese is great, it has a subtle heat from the jalapeno. Collard greens are a good way to add some veggies. Nothing amazing, but I never think they are. So I'm a bad judge. The candied yams are also amazing.

They say this is Texas BBQ. I am from Houston and I can tell you this is not Texas BBQ. The meat was passable. The sauce was thin and just as sweet as it was trying to be spicy, but it did neither well. The mac and cheese was overcooked and still, somehow, had a texture to the cheese like a thickener hadn't completely blended. And they didn't allow exceptions, so if you wanted something left off, which is saving them money, it was refused.
