J ZhangJuly 26, 2011Taste was better than Slow's. Ribs were extremely tender. Sauces were full of pleasant surprises. Brisket was dry, schade.
Joy SantiagoFebruary 15, 2011Brisket is good. Go with basic sides like fries or baked beans. The rest of the sides are so-so.
DCI DCIAugust 18, 20151st time, Rib was not good not worth the price, burnt ends were ok but not for $13.00, service was not great. OVERRATED and won't be going back.
Amanda PriceJune 6, 2013The service is really slow. Waited 30 (after being seated) for the drinks to arrive. And waited close to an hour for the food. Staff is less than friendly.
service kinda crappy, but they have an amazing beer selection. never been disapointed as far as food goes
Amis ✩September 5, 2011Very limited healthier options. :-/ But I hear the food is good otherwise. :-)
If you get Bridget as your server, just change sections. Service was horrible. Took 20 minutes for her to come to the table and that was the least of our problems.
Nikki CarterSeptember 19, 2010Unfortunately, the service here was sub-par. We had to flag our waitress down too many times for re-fills, our billing was wrong and she slammed our cc bill jackets after we filed a complaint.
Gerald StewartFebruary 27, 2012The food was fucking terrible... I love slows but this place was busted!!!!
Marty BMarch 11, 2012Inconsistent with food. Service consistently bad. Awful place, I avoid it as much as possible.
