Went Friday early afternoon, pretty busy, but much of a wait to order. Long line, however it moved. The bands were good and had great experience. Free refills for soda is great. But NO lids. My little ones handle the cups without a lids. Poor planning. Bring your own sipping cups.

OMG -- This was probably the best pulled pork and BBQ chicken I've ever had! And the brisket & cheese curds were also delicious. Looking forward to coming back in summer for the beer wall.

Before we even get to the food, be prepared to wait, and wait, and wait some more. Regardless how you feel about the food, the wait time to eat the food is ridiculous. I ordered food online at 605 and was given a 650 pickup time. Got there and had to wait almost another hour for the food. With this type of wait, you’d think the food would be on another level. But it’s not. Absolute waste of $60. I’d you like good BBQ, you won’t find it here. Not sure any “award winning” bbq lives here, but you will find burnt ends swimming in sauce (masking and of the flavor of the burnt end!), soggy bun on the Ruben. Fries terrible.

I recently went to eat at primal eats with my wife and in-laws. Overall, the environment was very nice. There was a band playing and great outdoor seating. There is also a nice playground for kids to stay busy. However, the line to order food was about 45 minutes long since the self-order station ran out of food buzzers. My wife ordered the brisket plate, I got the burnt ends and my mother in law ordered the brisket Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was delicious and so were the burnt ends. The brisket was a little fatty, but had great flavor. The cowboy potatoes were great, but a little too sweet for my liking and the baked beans were very bbq tasting. The bbq sauce options, in my opinion felt limited- original BBQ, mango habanero, sweet Tennessee, and spicy. I was not overly impressed w
