Good food, the platter is worth it to get a taste of everything. Legit smoking technique, and the Memphis sauce is really good.

Unfortunately we did not have a good expierience there.Its way too cold inside, my Mac and Cheese were icecold after 5min, like coming out of the fridge.They had live music, that was the best thing.Our drinks came minutes after the food arrived, in the mean time we had nothing to drink, a big no go.The smoked babyback ribs did not really tasted like smoked , i just tasted the intense rub.Nice place, too cold, good music, improvable service and food

The BBQ is overall not great. I personally found the ribs to be dry and the mac n cheese was very bland. However, the hot link was tasty. I don't regret trying it out, but I likely won't return. Perhaps other items on the menu that I didn't try may be better

I had never been here. A quick Google search said they were the closest restaurant to me that had rib tips. My usual spot was not open. I did a pick up order here on 5/1/22. Ordering process was pretty easy over the phone. Arrived about 20 min later and my order wasn't ready. We were told they were a little backed up. That was no problem. They called when the order was ready which was awesome!I ordered 2 orders of rib tips. 1 was for someone else. I still haven't gotten their opinion. However, my kids and I enjoyed our order. The rib tips are cut pretty big and they come unsauced. The sauce comes on the side. They were seasoned really well and were tender. You don't get a lot. What you see in the pics are all you get. 1 order can feed 1 adult. I'd suggest getting multiple orders for multiple people or someone won't be full. The price was pretty standard. $13 per order of tips. I'd go back for the tips and to try their other items.

Loved the food and the atmosphere. Our server Laura was very good and responsive. The food was great and the quantity was good. Loved the strip of bacon with the drink as well. We had the platter between 2 of us and it was a lot of good food. Will be returning soon. ?

Omg the BBQ sauces are amazing with all the meats. I got the sampler platter with the ribs, chicken, sausages, brisket sandwich, Cole slaw, beans, and corn muffin and everything was absolutely amazing! ? I really loved the sausages and I'm not big on sausage. Definitely order Honky Tonk BBQ when u want some A1 day1 BBQ!

Good food. I had peach cobbler for dessert that didn't taste like peach cobbler. Candied yams were SUPERB! Pulled pork on garlic bread was AWESOME! Waiters were AWESOME!

awesome food great drinks great service live music and DJs on the weekends...

Food is amazing, service is great!

Ordered the sampler platter via grubhub, which arrived missing almost half the items. We called the restaurant and we're offered a 6$ refund on what ended up being a 45$ meal - that was half of what we expected. Mad at the employees and sad I didn't get my hot links or ribs :(( ALSO the chicken and cornbread were dry as frick and the beans were flavorless. The coleslaw, however, was shockingly delightful.
