This restaurant has garnered a variety of responses, painting a picture of a cozy yet inconsistent BBQ spot. Many patrons rave about friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, with some highlighting the tender brisket and flavorful BBQ sauce. Conversely, others critique the food quality, noting dry brisket and lackluster sides. While the ribs received mixed reviews, the mac and cheese drew particular mention for its peculiar taste. Overall, this establishment provides a homey experience, but diners may want to approach menu choices with caution as they navigate the culinary highs and lows on offer.

This restaurant in the Metroplex has a touch of East Texas. It was a pleasant surprise and the staff were all friendly. The food was delicious.
