★★★★★ 5.0 Darcy Welsh · Dec 2025

Drive thru only, so prepare ahead. Staff is friendly and service fast. I ordered the family pack and upgraded to brisket. Upcharge was only a few dollars more. My sides were potato salad, beans, and Mac n cheese. It comes with a large container of BBQ sauce and 4 large buns. Everything was great, the brisket tender, tasty, and moist. The beans were sweet and contained ample amounts of BBQ pork, the Mac n cheese was creamy with a rich cheese flavor, and the potato salad must be a secret family recipe, it reminded me of egg salad with potatoes, very yummy. It's a great deal and I will be returning soon.

I wasn't going to say anything negative about my food and missing sauces until I got to the bread pudding. I normally love the bread pudding but the last time it was very dry and this time its burnt. I'm not sure what has changed there but I hope things get back to normal soon. The actual BBQ was good.

I don't see how they're still open. They were out of chicken, and buns. I got one ounce of baked beans. There was more BBQ sauce then beans. The sauce just tasted like store bought with a little bit of vinegar in it. Never going back again.

Decided to try them after reading an article. I’m always skeptical about BBQ because everyone always claims to be the best, but this place really is THE BEST! The meat is quality, not fatty, cooked/smoked to perfection! Very helpful when ordering for the first time as well. It’s a one lane drive thru, so I expected to wait forever, but they were very fast considering the line they had to accommodate. They ever gave me pup cups for my boys, and they were HUGE! And not scrap pieces. They were the same food I was provided.

The food I did receive was fine, not great, just fine, it was however cold. I was missing a whole platter, I ordered door dash and when it was ordered I got two platters. I only received one. When I called they tried to tell me that maybe my door dasher gave it to someone else, but when I asked if they use separate bags they said no and I received one sealed bag which means they forgot it. My receipt calls for two platters, I didn’t get 2 I got one. And all I could get was a crappy $13 dollars for an almost 40 dollar order.
