We wanted bbq that was "mom & pop." We choose this location and gave it a shot based on reviews on both Google and Yelp. The focus of this is on the food: my friends and I purchased the $45 4-6 people platter and it came with a slab of pork ribs, a whole smoked chicken, and two sides: greens and mac-cheese. In addition, we also brought a slab of beef ribs.Let me get right into it:-Pork ribs: inconsistent. Some parts were tender and other parts dried. Taste was okay and we felt the bbq sauce helped.-Chicken: dried and taste was on mild side...seasoning wise. Bbq sauce helped.-Two side: both was okay. Nothing to rave about.-Beef ribs: dried and inconsistent. Definitely not tender. The beef ribs towards the tip were not just dried, but hard and not edible. These are not the full beef ribs but rather the cheaper cuts.Would we go here again? No.

Ordered rib tips and not much meat on them. The sauce was really good.

One of the best tasting BBQ PLACES there is! The sides I could do with out. But the actual meat is DELICIOUS!

Save your time and money! Not worth it.This was my first time here (and my last). One Hispanic guy didn’t even want to help me and started arguing with me. Another young heavy set African American guy came out the back to help me and was great. He found my order, which the other guy said he couldn’t find, and got me out of there in a few minutes. Get rid of the first guy and BBQ King will have a chance. Would’ve been one star, but gave one more for the second guy who helped me.Btw, the first guy also treated the lady before me the same way…she left and was visibly upset.

Their dinner sampler basket gives you a good variety of meats for a good price. I recently got their platter for 8-10... the ribs are well cooked, the tri tip, brisket and links are very good too. The BBQ has a good kick to it, but it isn't overpowering.

Excellent American BBQ place. Loved it. I had a brisket burger and banoffee pudding, but looking forward to trying pretty much everything on the menu.

Worth the wait, happened to arrive (with no booking) when busier than normal, but that double smash burger was great. Seasoning on the chips was exceptional

Food good service super slow

I ordered through door dash the restaurant was not confirming the order so I contacted door dash. After door dash contacted the restaurant they informed door dash they will make the order right away. 1 hour and a half passes the driver gets to the restaurant.... and the restaurant did not even prepare my order. The dasher calls me to tell me that the restaurant never received my order??? Who confirmed it? Why did you tell the dasher you didn't know if I ordered lunch or dinner??? And then a minute later the RESTAURANT CANCELS MY ORDER? If you don't want to sell your food don't open a restaurant.
