★★★★☆ 4.0 Don Dude · Sep 2025

Food was good. We got the Southern Sampler from the smokehouse packs section. It was rated 1-2 people, but definitely will feed two people. Ribs were good, and the chicken and pulled pork as well. The Texas hot link sausage was very good The brisket was a bit fatty, so a little disappointing...but just a little. The original sauce was good, but the Chicago fire was better. The southern gal was the least spicy. You DEFINITELY need extra sauces as they give you only two small-ish sauces included. About 4 total was roughly good for that sampler. The max & cheese was good, not amazing, but the muffin top corn breads were moist and soft. Didn't need butter, but it would have been nice (not provided). Our friends got the pork sandwich and they though it was quite good. A great option

We went last night (Friday) and had an amazing experience at this BBQ restaurant! The person who attended us was outstanding super friendly, attentive at all times, and gave us the best suggestions. What impressed us even more was that they spoke both English and Spanish, which made everything so easy and welcoming. The service was incredibly fast, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back

I got take out for the first time and wowza that brisket is out of this world. The chicken was solid but I can't stop thinking about that brisket. So tender, flavorful. Muffin tops were yummy. Mac and cheese and beans were flavorful and yummy. So excited to have you guys in Excelsior!!!

They serve primarily barbecue, as the name suggests. I ordered the party platter, which came with a whole chicken, pulled pork, and 8 ribs. We also ordered rib tips and Texas beef brisket, which are both separate main dishes apart from the party pack. We had sides that came with all the main dishes, such as coleslaw, mashed potatoes, beans, and cornbread, which all tasted good. It was a little more than enough to feed all of us, 3 adults and 4 kids. I think for the price, the food was good enough to say it was worth it. The portions are generous enough, not super big or small. The drink selection is limited. There are some sodas, alcohol, and bottled water to choose from. There is a paid parking lot and a free parking lot. It was somewhat difficult to find parking, but not a big hassle.
