    Great service and sauces, decent vibe — brisket execution holds the food back. First time here, so I’m looking forward to having my mind changed. Quick service, and reasonable prices for what we got. The combo sand, which had their slaw, house pickles, brisket and pulled pork. A heart stopping combo, but one I’m willing to take the risk on again. Their chipotle mustard and habanero vinegar go hard as well. My wife got the beef brisket which also came out fast which if the sign that says “Good BBQ takes time” that statement is very true. The brisket was alright, but she says was “underwhelming” as some of the fat hadn’t rendered enough, and it came out at a temperature that was less than ideal, sort of a lukewarm, heat lamp temperature. I want to be proven wrong, and I’d be happy to give this spot another shot.

    Blue ribbon what????? Definitely NOT BBQ. As a traveler, I had spectacular BBQ! Everything on this plate was dry, tasteless, and definitely not worth the price (no matter how much food they put on this plate). Here’s a few tips: Coleslaw needs more than mayonnaise. Stop the cooking process of the meat when it’s done and let cool until ready to serve (which will only need to be heated quickly to prevent the dryness. Stop scorching the dang beans!!! They are very dry and you can taste how they stuck to the bottom of the pot! Spend your money here if you like to be disappointed!
