Food: 6/10 Service: 10/10 Atmo: 9/10 Brisket was a little dry, especially for the fatty cuts. Some good bites, some really needed sauce. Wouldn't get again. In contrast, the burnt ends were the highlight. Some were a little dry but a lot were nice and most. Would def'ly get these again. Mac & greens were OK. The waffle fries were awesome. I'm not a big fan of fries--they have to be great. My favorite bite was making a little taco of a burnt end & waffle fry. That's worth coming here. Service was excellent: friendly, helpful, and attentive. The place was bright and clean.

Walked in right when they opened. Ordered full rack of ribs, nachos, frito chili pie and waffle fries. Loved the nachos. Service was good. Food was delicious. Great BBQ. Not for big parties. Take out was very popular.

The BBQ here is incredible. My friend and I ordered a massive amount of food between just her and I. My favorites were: the pulled pork nachos, the brisket and the potato salad. My least favorite was the mac and cheese, but the collard greens and baked beans were amazing, too!
