4505 Burgers & BBQ

The food tasted very good for the most part. The roll was a little stiff and I didn't expect to get one small extra roll for $3.30. I added 1/3 rack of rib and I received one rib. I added a cup of baked beans, although the meal came with baked beans and only received one cup. I chose two sets of napkins and utensils but only received one. Definitely too expensive for what I received, cost of $55 plus tax for what you see in the photos.

We ordered the beef brisket plate with spicy fries and beans. The beans were the surprise standout—rich and delicious. The fries had a nice kick, but the brisket itself was just okay—chewy and a bit tough, not something I’d rush back for. The outdoor seating with wooden benches is dog-friendly, though it can get noisy with kids running around and dogs barking. I did appreciate the convenience of having a QR code with the table number to order anything extra once seated. On the bright side, the service was friendly and attentive.

So I’ve been here before and always loved the brisket, but today was the first time I tried the lunch taco happy hour, and WOW it blew my mind. The brisket tacos are so flavorful, the salsa so fresh, and the corn tortillas delicious. This place is a little pricey, and the tacos are definitely small for the cost, but they make up for it in flavor and quality!

Visited with a friend on a weekday. They definitely delivered on the meat with volume. But surprised that most of the meat options were not plates/meals by default. You have to order sides separately. This gets expensive, fast. Felt like I was being nickel-and-dimed. Pricing is high. Full rack of ribs was like $55. Half brisket, $20, no sides included. Staff were attentive, friendly. Most of the meat lacks a lot of flavor, so you’re expected to add sauces while eating as necessary. But I feel this should be a better experience. There are no wet towels at the table, so after you eat your ribs, your fingers are all sticky. Nothing but regular napkins to wipe off with. Would have appreciated some wet towels.

4505 has decent bbq, it’s just so expensive for what it is, the value is off in my opinion. I’ve been here many times and the portion of meats you get in a platter do not justify the cost. I always leave feeling a bit ripped off. If you increased the portion of meat you served I’d come more often and recommend to people. On a positive note, the size of the sides do feel justified and generous
