Boxer Barbeque

Nice place, simple menu, wish I would have come on Wednesday for burnt ends! The brisket was tender and moist, thick cuts. I was not a impressed with the ribs, a little dry and flavorless on my visit. Waitress was very polite. And I love any reuse of old "downtown" brick buildings, so great atmosphere.

First time in and we were very impressed with the quality of the food and the amazing service we received. Our food was fast and excellent. The barbecue sauces were all different and so good. I think my favorite thing was the elote salad. Nachos could have leveled up, in our opinion, with cheese instead of cheese sauce but the beans were a great saucy addition. Definitely will be back!

We decided to try Boxer again last Friday and it was very disappointing. It was take out and all of us ordered a pulled pork sandwich. The meat was lukewarm at best and we live fairly close to the restaurant. There was not a great deal of meat on any of the sandwiches and some were quite fatty and some had large burnt chunks as seen in the picture. The flavor was not great and overall just not very good pulled pork. Two were combos and with one of the sandwiches, we ordered a side order of fries, which were good, but maybe 15 fries for $5 is a bit extreme. The cheesy hashbrowns were also pretty good The coleslaw was fine, basic, and tasted like it came from Hy Vee. Boxer used to have pretty solid BBQ, but things have changed over time and they are not what they used to be. BBQ Brothers

BBQ was incredible! Brisket was juicy and flavored, ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the jalapeno sausage was delicious. Corn bread was a great choice in the side. The coleslaw was a bit disappointing but still decent. The bread pudding?... Wow... I entered hopefully and left incredibly satisfied.

This may be the best BBQ you can get in town. I was greeted by Daisy and sat in a booth since it wasn't too busy. Tasha was my server and was as sweet as can be. Everything was great. The brisket was excellent. And there were three sauces to choose from that were so good. The catfish was amazing. I particularly enjoyed the south seasoning used. And my 2 sides (red skin potato salad and cornbread) were dead on. Why anyone would eat this food to go is beyond me. In fact, they have a community table right in the middle of the restaurant where it is encouraged to get off the phone and start a conversation with the people around you. I love this. If you're going with a group or just by yourself...try that table. You might see me there with no phone in hand when you do.
