★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nomi Malone · Feb 2026

The service was wonderful. The service is great however, the potato salad taste it very old smoked sausage were very greasy. The turkey appeared not to be cooked all the way in the chicken is the number one thing that I will order when I return if you ask for two different scoops of ice cream, you will be charged for two different prices.

Didn't get pics but brisket nice and moist very good turkey is amazing and the pork ribs very tasty love this place I live a little far but worth the trip ate bar b que for the Superbowl. Will be back again there's a bar b que place by my house 5 minutes away I'd rather drive 25 minutes to eat a better place and will be back again and again. I'll even go by myself they sell quarter pounds not just half's also they have a drive thru very convenient and alsonkids love the chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.0 TheGoatley1 · Feb 2026

We had the jalapeno sausage and the beef sausage. Sadly the potato salad was the highlight of the meal. There was nothing wrong with the sausage It had good texture and it was salted properly. It was just super mild. The beef may as well have just been beef with salt and pepper stuffed in a casing, and the jalapeno cheddar sausage had no flavor other than the jalapenos in the cheddar cheese. I expected a lot more from the sausage in the sausage capital of Texas. We didn't try any of the brisket or other barbecue. When we got there the brisket they were cutting looked awfully dry, but they subsequently brought out one that looked pretty good. I can only speak for the sausage which was disappointing.

Some of the best BBQ I have had! Sean and the team were awesome recommending items and all were great!! We will definitely be back and we highly recommend if you haven’t tried to try.. you won’t be disappointed!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jesse Quinn · Nov 2025

Great! The portion might be a little less than some other places BUT. The meat is excellent! Not smothered in bbq sauce you get to taste the meat itself and Lamb ribs! Never seen lamb at a bbq joint. It was so good. The coleslaw is good too.
