This is my first time here, my dad wanted BBQ for Father's Day so I looked on Google and ordered online. As soon as we pulled up outside, the style of the restaurant was really cool, and parking was good. We walked in and were greeted right away and very friendly. They checked on our online order and mentioned it's almost ready (we came early) and the host gave us a fountain drink while we waited. Super great service! That simple yet kind gesture is enough for us to come back and we haven't even tried the food yet!
The pulled pork sandwich was good. The meat was moist, not overcooked but not much smoke flavor and a good portion. Was not impressed with the sausage link. Beans were good. Very comparable to Phil's BBQ. The peach cobbler was good. Little expensive. Was surprised to see no sides provided with any entrees and cost an additional $5.00. Food : 3/5 | Service : 3/5 | Atmosphere : 3/5 … More
Stopped in here for lunch after church and there was no wait! The staff was friendly and helpful (we were first timers) and the food came out pretty quickly. Delicious tri-tip, perfectly creamy coleslaw (not too heavy on the mayo), & perfect Texas toast! The restaurant features some different BBQ sauces, but they tasted fairly similar and the jalapeno one didn't pack much heat, just FYI. I didn't have room for dessert but all 3 options sounded delicious! The decor is vintage and goes well with the vibe inside. We hope to return soon!
