Great service from some staff. Food was hot and fresh. We went there because someone said it was similar to Phil's bbq. Not so. I would order a whole plate with more choices/different choices. The sauce is not the same. At Naked bbq, you can see the food in the steamer pans and select while in line. It's a different setup. Not bad, just different. I would change expectations.

I ordered myself corn and chapped brisket. I enjoyed the corn but was not a huge fan of the brisket, it was unflavored. Overall I would definitely order for here again but add my own seasons.

First time customer did not like the experience picking up my order today. The guy was not welcoming in "What can i do for you, dude?" then got pretty offensive with his final comment being "just don't steal it okay", refferring to the food I already paid for. It took a bit too set in driving home as i kept replaying it in my head because the whole interaction left me feeling some type of way. I dont know if it was racially motivated but I can say you should be careful about profiling an educated black man as a theif. Whether joking or not its inappropriate, immature and I think this store has a liability manning the front desk.The BBQ, mac and potatoes salad were delicious however the coleslaw side cup was only half full and a bit on the dry side. The cornbread too was extremely dry, I don't know what happened to this batch or if its always like that. Oh and one that left me stumped was the banana pudding doesn't have bananas in it...at all yall!Taking in account the experience I had and the food...we probably won't be back here.

Great food! Comfortable atmosphere. Brendon made an effort to make sure we were happy with our meal and visit. We will definitely be returning.

Very impressive bbq. The sides are also amazing: potato salad and beans for sure. Prices are fair and the portions are filling. Bbq sauces are great. Highly recommend if you are a bbq conneseur.

They have very good brisket BBQ. I went once to check them out and have been back about once a week to get my BBQ fix. You have to try the sweet sauce on the brisket sandwich, just damn good.

Great fresh bbq. I tried the 2 item platter. The ribs were sliced off the rack and brisket was sliced in front of me. Mac & cheese , potato salad and cornbread finished my meal. Staff was friendly and let me know sauce options as they serve their meats naked, no sauce. Look forward to coming back.

Brisket was good (need better buns, need sliced brisket sandwich). Pulled pork best I have had in quite a while. Potato salad to dry, lacks flavor (needs salt, potatoe chunks to large so quite crisp and adds to dryness). Beans were excellent. Cole slaw good.

Had the chopped brisket with corn bread and potato salad. The one meat plate runs $12 plus another $2 for a drink. On par with Dickey's. They do offer military discount. ?Loved the corn and jalapenos baked into the corn bread. Everything they had was delicious but they don't offer french fries as a side. That's my go to side with BBQ. Another suggestion would be to warm up the trays the food is served on. Didn't take long to get my food and walk to the table but my food was already getting cold. I would still recommend this place and go back.

The bad and the good ... Pulled pork was about one third large, inedible, flabby, mushy, fatty skin pieces. Gross. If those had been picked out, and the full pound had been edible pieces, I think it would have actually been quite good, as the meat was tender and flavorful. I’m assuming they leave the huge skin pieces in to save money but the irony is they will lose customers so end up costing themselves business in the long run.They don’t offer mashed or baked potatoes (weird!), so I ordered the potato salad. It was made with fresh ingredients but lacked flavor. A little fresh pepper, lemon juice and mustard would go a long way to making it notable.The slaw was decent - fresh and crunchy. However this too was a bit light on flavor. Needed a dash of horseradish or vinegar. Maybe top with some pecans.Overall, not a big fan due to the giant, fatty skin component. Probably won’t go back.
