Customer Reviews
When you first walk in, the smell of delicious BBQ just hits you, and you immediately start salivating. I splurged and ordered the 2 meat combo - pulled pork and chicken salad, with a side of cole slaw and corn bread. I added a side of sweet potato fries and supported the youths at SDSU, and bought some ice cream as well. Pulled pork was phenomenal, with and without the BBQ sauce. Chicken salad was pretty stellar, I personally, like smaller pieces of chicken, but nonetheless, it was still delicious. Coleslaw was perfectly tangy. The cornbread was a little dry, but the butter and honey they provided made up for that. The sweet potato fries were a hit, too. Perfectly fried and seasoned nicely. The ice cream was nice and creamy and the best way to end this feast.
Average mid tier bbq, very dry ribs. If I coulda had beer with my lunch I could have looked past the dryness. Pretty expensive and small portions, got beans as both sides and still wasn’t enough. Prolly a Kamala voter with these portions. Lots of Prius’ in parking lot not enough truck.
Payton did an excellent job taking care of us. I had the brisket without the bun, out was great. The fresh cut fries were really good as well. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich with BBQ spaghetti which was a first for us. The mix of marinara and BBQ sauce along with the pulled pork was a great flavor together.
This place was decent. Think of it as very “mid-tier” barbecue food. If you are in a hurry and need something quick, it’s an okay place to go. Otherwise, I would save the money and go somewhere else.
Average BBQ place. Served as sandwiches, not just meats, which is in small text, so be warned. I just wanted meat and sides. Maybe a better clarification on the menu would be useful. Small portions for the cost, both sides and meat. Meat was ok but all shredded for sandwich. Couldn't get a beer either as servers couldn't serve one. Tortilla soup was good but see picture, not even half way full bowl, apparently to get a full bowl it counts as 2 sides. Hear something new every day. Loved the mustard bbq sauce though. Definitely try if you come here, Smell inside was great.
