    Y'all should be ashamed to serve this. My mom mentioned she was craving ribs, so we grab 2 rib plates to go. How is the darn fork bigger than the rib bones, and we asked for center cut, which is the larger cut. Went to Pit Boss first because they are THE Best and they were supposedly open on Sunday now. Unfortunately, the sign said they were but they were closed, so we went to GQ. I'll wait to Monday next time. This is ridiculously tiny for a rib bone. Not to mention the 1/2 bite rib tips. The only pleasant thing was the guy taking our order. My mom is older and talks really soft so a lot of times ppl get frustrated when she's ordering, but he was very polite and attentive.

    I hate to do this, having to wait hours to get an order is ridiculous. Paid advance and knowing we were on the way is not good at all. I’m sure this review won’t hurt business but when excepting big orders, please be better prepared.

    I came across this place online and stopped in on my way into the city for a show. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I had read about the smoked wings and HAD to try them. The staff was super friendly and helpful in getting my order squared away. 5 wings, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and a drink for a little over $14. The guy who took my order recommended the signature bbq which was a mustardy yangy bbq (loved it!). No complaints at all. Everything was seasoned; the Mac and cheese was so damn good. It will definitely be on my list of places to grab food from next time I am back. 🙌🏾
