The waiter was also acting as the host, chef, and busboy. Unfortunately, the first five items we attempted to order were unavailable. Ultimately, I settled on my sixth choice, chili spaghetti, which turned out to be inedible. There was no warning from the waiter or indication on the menu that it would be spicy. After taking just two bites, I discovered it was far too hot for my liking. The waiter later admitted he should have advised us, as the dish contained four different types of hot peppers. He expressed regret, especially since he had removed the charge for the spaghetti and offered an additional 15% discount due to the lack of available items. While the coleslaw was good and the chocolate bundt cake was enjoyable, the overall experience left much to be desired. This place really needs improvement before Guy Fieri features it again. Save your time and money; visit the RibShack or Firehouse in Fallbrook for better service and BBQ.

I noticed that brisket wasn’t on the menu, and the staff member informed me they had removed it because they couldn’t keep it moist. Not a great sign for a BBQ restaurant. When my food arrived, they brought me ribs instead of the burnt ends, so I had to wait even longer. Apparently, the original owner sold the restaurant a few months ago, and the new owners plan to add “Cantina” to the name while keeping most of the menu. Best of luck to them.

I ordered the famous sandwich that Guy tried, but I have to say I wasn't particularly impressed. On the other hand, the sweet potato fries were fantastic, and our waitress was a joy.
