Customer Reviews
We always like to dine in because this place is so chill around 3:00 pm nice and quiet, but playing good music..Hmmm not sure if I heard it this time. Ordered the texas beef brisket egg rolls for the first time with some Korean dipping sauce along with $4 rib tips, $5 St. Louis 2 rib bones and fries with comeback sauce 😋 all really good! And for take out ordered the $10 chicken tenders with 2 sides and corn muffin off the lunch menu. Check out their website for happy hour and lunch specials.
Free off street good size parking lot. Well established BBQ joint at this same location for decades. Ordered at counter with friendly staff for late lunch - from lunch special menu list. Fairly large selection of BBQ foods on menu. Food is quickly delivered to one of many tables each accommodate maybe 4 people, comfortably. Food is all good (1 order of brisket only and 1 with 3 different meats). All good. Staff bus/clean tables when you finish dining. Pretty good value.
I ordered delivery through DoorDash and enjoyed my food for dinner. I had some leftovers which I ate the next day for lunch, and as I was about to take my next bite of my broccoli side, I noticed there was something fuzzy on it. At first, I thought it was possibly mold, but that didn't make sense as it had been reheated. After further inspection, I realized it was sort of a chrysalis, likely a cabbage looper. So disgusting and disappointing, especially since their food had been tasting good. I wouldn't take your chances here, as they seem not to wash their vegetables well. It begs the question, what else don't they wash well...
Monday about 1230 wanted Ribs. 1) it was the smallest half rack I have seen in my life. 2) Dry, very chewy, not fall off the bone tender. 3) Beans unfortunately they tasted like over sweetened Campbell’s pork and beans with a little extra meat and love sugar. The fries were the best part of the meal but for $22 that was very expensive fries not the famous Dave I’m used to from the past the last time I made it this place same thing dry chewy ribs. I’m done with this location. The people are very friendly for service so I said five stars for that but food and that’s the main reason you’re there I mean two stars is really generous actually so sad that they have come so far so low without Dave. Oh, I forgot to mention the cornbread ton of sugar there too too sweet to finish I don’t know w
Update: After posting this review, the restaurant reached out and asked for my contact information. I provided it, expecting some form of resolution or explanation regarding the issues I experienced across two separate Uber Eats orders. Unfortunately, the follow-up amounted to a generic “thank you for the feedback” with no acknowledgment of the concerns raised or any indication that the matter was taken seriously. This response felt dismissive and did not match the level of detail or effort put into sharing my experience I ordered the Pick Three Extra Meat for delivery on Tuesday, thinking the food would be secured properly like any competent delivery order. Nope. When it arrived, the bag wasn’t secured at all — literally, one tug and the food could have been tampered with. Seriously? That
