    Great BBQ! I had the beef ribs, it’s a great value with a lot of meat. The ribs were perfectly cooked and flavorful, especially when paired with the spicy BBQ sauce. I also liked the sides, they have many options to choose from.

    I am levitating right now. The tri-tip dipped in the half and half BBQ sauce has cured my soul. Ribs and baked beans also were amazing. I would skip the Mac Salad and do something else though.

    Not real bbq. This is what I call sauce bbq. Throw a poorly seasoned on a grill, serve it to the customer with sauce to make it "bbq". If you are looking for real, smoked bbq, this is not the place. I made tri-tip for the first time ever recently and it was miles better than theirs. The beef ribs were just as disappointing. And it took a long time to cut up meat and throw it in a box

    The tri tip sandwiches are very good. Sometimes restaurants will decrease the portion size for happy hour items- not here! Only thing I would recommend is for them to add salsa.
