get the "moist brisket" and prepare to be stuffed. 1/4 lb = ~4 thick cut slices. the beans were out of this world!
Rudest service I can remember having anywhere. Server tried to prevent me from ordering at bar. Later when our party needed a table, bartender said to people at the bar: you need to sit your ass down
Derek DouglasAugust 7, 2012Come on Tuesdays when they do smoked wings. With their rub Huge and meaty!
Anna KelmaAugust 31, 2013If a friend sends you here on a Friday night... go downstairs. It makes more sense.
So far I have been here over a hour a I can't get a table even though I have seen a good dozen tables open since I have been here
Amy JacksMay 24, 2012I know this is a BBQ place, but they have a really good Sauvignon Blanc here :)
- Nivine ZakhariDecember 2, 2011Moist brisket and jalapeno & cheese sausage really hit the spot. God bless Texas!
Boxfire PressJuly 24, 2011A little piece of Texas here in DC? You can pretend, anyway. Don't forget to try a bottle of Shiner.
David HessJune 27, 2011Pitchers of Shiner for $20 all the time. Mac&Chez is good, chili mac is better; chili has a nice spice to it.
Robert BoleMay 2, 2011The pork spare ribs are overspiced (salt dominant), but brisket is pretty good. Thick crust. Yum
CJ DavisNovember 12, 2012The brisket was scrumptious even after the twenty minute walk back to my apartment. Christly- David HessJune 27, 2011Pitchers of Shiner for $20 all the time. Mac&Chez is good, chili mac is better; chilu has a nice spice to it.
Daniel RothschildMay 27, 2011Sherri was a waitress at the only joint in town / She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around // If this means anything to you, you'll love this place.
Michael SaffleApril 1, 2011Art is the best! He's the barkeeper downstairs. Very cool. Unlike the folks upstairs.
Blue bell vanilla ice cream is a good way to settle the food baby
Omar RodriguezJuly 13, 2015Really expensive. Specially if you buy individually. Ribs were ok.... Beer was really good.
Tina P.July 13, 2011Tuesday is buy one cocktail get one free + a live band. Wednesday karaoke gets packed.
AnnieMarch 18, 2013Enjoyed the food. Wasn't too impressed with the wait staff. Weren't very attentive and acted a bit unprofessional. The cooks (who prepare the meat) were personable and friendly, however.
Heather MartinOctober 9, 2011We were just asked to leave our table, before we were done, because they have another reservation. Talk about barbe-suckyservice!
