An older white man was being hostile towards a younger black man in front of customers. It was very unprofessional, and I won't be returning.

Not a franchised BBQ joint. Today I purchased two pulled chicken salads. The salads were not fresh tasting and very bland. I had purchased one for a first time person. They were not impressed at all. The absurd thing is that each salad cost just under seventeen dollars. I understand we are in the COVID Enviroment but I can still do fine dining for a quality salad elsewhere. Unfortunately, I was and am very disappointed.

My favorite order is the brisket sandwich, complemented by beans and potato salad!

Great BBQ, but the BEST hamburger in the city! Order takeout, dine in accommodations are not great. read more Great BBQ, but the BEST hamburger in the city! Order takeout, dine in accommodations are not great.

The service is friendly and the people are nice enough, but BBQ here is mediocre, at best. The portions are pretty small, especially considering the prices they charge. If you do decide to come here, definitely skip the baked beans unless you like your baked beans to have a heavy tomato and vinegar flavor with very few beans.
