Christopher IslaApril 16, 2013WHO EVER IS DJING THE MUSIC IS A PHENOM!!! ALSO THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE.!!
PaulaAugust 12, 2011Get here before happy hour is over and order their daily special cocktail and beer half off
Danielle TropsaJanuary 6, 2018When ordering delivery the restaurant was VERY disrespectful and did not care about an order we placed but did not receive. They blamed a 3rd party for their mistake. We will not be eating here again.
Zii HammadJune 26, 2014Forget about ordering ribs. Mine were 90% fat, and I think their scale may be off quite a bit. Also, service leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not the staff's fault. Blame the management.
Coble GirlsJune 17, 2013The hot dog is good with the chicken on top. The beef topping is kind of dry and I haven't had the pork topping. Service sucks plain and simple. Food is okay, not great and not horrible. Get take out.
Danny RodriguezNovember 17, 2013Slow seating & waiter service, even when the place is not full. Food is great. Skimpy on the napkins so ask for more, you'll need them.
So delicious! But... when getting take out, always check that you have BBQ sauce!
The Smoke Joint GroupAugust 18, 2011Meat on Meat Mayhem: a black angus hot dog topped with either chicken, beef, or pork.
Nicholas DoyleAugust 24, 2013They have Brisket, but it's not on the menu. Given that it's dry and nearly flavorless, I can understand why.
Tameka GJuly 16, 2016Food was good. Just know, they put sugar on everything. Service is so so slow. Bring cash for a speedy exit.
W Y CNovember 4, 2011Best deal to stuff your face on a budget is the smoked chicken. $4 for a turkey sized leg.
Desiree GMay 29, 2010Bed-stuy potato salad, Mac n cheese, crispy catfish sandwich and their smoky greens are GREAT!!
Cannot get enough of the BBQ aioli they use for the corn on the cob!!
Mina VaneAugust 19, 2013Dry rubbed French Fries tasted like Wise bbq potato chips, pulled pork was dry, pickles were mutated, cole slaw was pre packaged not freshly made and the bbq sauces offered on table is watered down:(
- Get the hot dog with pulled pork and a side of mac & cheese. Combine and enjoy.
geeApril 11, 2016Food is great! But the service? Not so much! The girl who sat us and served us was awful. No personality. Barley spoke to us. I don't think I'd return based on the service alone.
- daniel harveyAugust 16, 2011If you ask them nicely (and tip enough) they'll deliver just outside their radius.
Mat CollisNovember 14, 2017Came here after seeing it on TV. Brisket was really really dry and not very tasty
Ben PorterJune 25, 2012Decent non-regional BBQ but totally marred by inept (frankly rude) service: no greeting, no menu, no water, no "how's everything", and out of 80% of their advertised beer with only BudLight on tap.
Dontré ConerlyMarch 22, 2014Worst. Service. Ever! The waiter was rude and little attention was paid to our table. THEN, waiter had the nerve to DOUBLE-CHARGE my credit card, adding insult to injury. I'll never eat here again!
