Description

Showcase BBQ presents a mixed culinary experience, with opinions swinging widely among patrons. While some diners rave about the tender, flavorful ribs and engaging customer service, others express disappointment over poorly prepared dishes and unfriendly service. Issues such as burnt wings, mushy greens, and inconsistencies in meal quality have left a bitter taste for some. However, many appreciate the inviting atmosphere, especially for takeout, and commend the delicious sauces, particularly the “hot as hell” option. A few loyal customers insist on returning for the standout dishes, underscoring the establishment's potential amid the criticism.

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't give this place five stars. Firstly, the meat is always perfectly smoked and never dry. Secondly, you really get your money's worth. I discovered this place by chance after visiting a pricey barbecue restaurant in Bakery Square that was arrogant and served dry food. The ribs are fantastic, but if you're a fan of wings or brisket, make sure to get plenty for a party.

Incredible. My spouse brought home the 12 bone, 12 wing dinner from this restaurant and it was a delightful experience. I have never been a fan of ribs or wings, but I was determined to give them a try here. Everything was perfect. The smoky flavor, the meat texture (I prefer it on the drier side), and the sauce - oh my word, the sauce on the wings! I added my favorite vinegar-based sauce, George's, to the ribs and it was a match made in heaven. I never knew ribs could taste this good. I could have easily devoured a quart of the greens (I even drank up all the delicious juice afterwards) and the green beans were also excellent. Surprisingly, even our picky-eater daughters enjoyed everything. We even had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant. Thank you for preparing such mouthwatering dishes!

The staff did a great job managing the long line at the door, we didn't have to wait long, and the food and service were excellent!

Upon arrival, there was no greeting. The lady behind the counter seemed unapproachable. The green beans appeared to be canned and the mac and cheese was overly seasoned with salt. The service was subpar and the staff was loud while discussing my experience as I left the restaurant. This establishment has clearly declined from its former reputation.
