Well it started because my mother said that's where she was going but she really meant Jack Stack,yes there is a difference, however the burnt ends were dry which I replaced with the babyback ribs,Mac n cheese was good,service was excellent

Service was terrible and food was cold. Price for 5 was good. But the food needs to be warm-hot to enjoy your bill. Don’t recommend.

Nice place, good customer service. My order (Burnt Ends Platter) was not good. I've had better BBQ/smoked burnt ends in other restaurants.

We stopped here for a late lunch and were so happy with everything. It was Easter Sunday and they were busy but we got right in and got waited on immediately. Dustin, our server was so amazing. He was friendly cheerful and attentive while being busy with other tables. Our drinks appetizer and food came out in a very timely manner. We ordered mushrooms for an appetizer and they were fresh and hot and delicious. I ordered the pork sandwich with pit beans and hubby ordered the combo with baby back and Brisket with cole slaw and fries. We were happy with everything. Also had Dustin bring us some hot BBQ sauce and it was superb.Great experience and will go back. Dustin was a wonderful server and truly a joy with working a holiday and being so busy.

We had excellent baby back ribs. The coleslaw was very good. One baked potato was excellent. The french fries were good. A reasonable cost for a bottle of good wine. The grilled vegetables were the only disappointment, only a few (4-5) slices of squash with one slice of potato and a slice of tomato (I always thought potatoes and tomatoes were not vegetables). Our server was excellent and the setting was excellent. Overall, I would definitely go back.

Delicious. Just really delicious. Wanted to hit up a couple barbecue places in town and glad we stopped here. The food was excellent and so filling. The restaurant itself was very clean and the employees were very professional. We did have kids with us, and they had a kids menu which was a bonus as one of our kids does not like meat.

I would have given them 1 star if it weren’t for our waitress and our corn nuggets. Delanie was very nice and understood the issue. 2:14 on April 4th my mouth was exposed to dirty sin. The brisket looked like octopus legs, my sausage burnt ends were mushy, and the music was upbeat like a college bar. If you think this place is good I believe you regularly eat unseasoned- uncooked food. The icing on the cake was the table being broken. Nothing against anyones customer service.

The food was good. Burnt ends were very good, the ribs were a little tough and chewy. The brisket was a bit fatty and hard to chew and not much flavor. The chicken was good but could've used more flavor. The bbq sauce was fantastic!! It seemed like they were using the sauce to give the meat flavor. Which is great for me but not for my wife. If we're in town we'd probably go again.

Great food. Meat is spot on what you would want. Beans are good. The coleslaw is out of a container. Good ,just not fresh made with any pride. I would have expected more from a place with middle to upper level prices. Still a great place to eat

Great food, good service! clean and friendly atmosphere.
