    This place is tight! The parking lot is tiny and the bbq place is small ( I believe this was Leon's bbq old spot). The food was good but the long wait was not good. The solicitars outside prior to going in were annoying and after I'd left my place in line and came back because there's a large red lettered sign indicating " No Cash", I saw someone use cash!! When I questioned the cashier, she shrugged her shoulders and replied that the sign was for the other side.

    Got my order and drove all the way home only to find out its gizzards instead of turkey tips had to drive all the way back cause they wouldn't answer the phone to report it. Cashier with the braids who gave me my order has a very bad attitude then they rushed my order with small amount of fries so I asked if I can order a small fry and Cashier told me 4.80 totally unacceptable since I was given wrong order and had to drive all the way back to location.

    This pertains to 82nd Cottage Gr. I was sold oversized chicken legs..they were partially raw. I took the order back and told them to give me wings instead. The manager was cooking .. turns around and said I would have to pay the difference. I requested a refund. I stood there for 10 mins. She told me she was busy. I was outdone!!!!! Long story short…. Chicken bloody/ Ghetto and Unprofessional Management equals (Bad for Business) ….. who trained her she has terrible people skills. Has to be a relative🤷🏽‍♀️!

    This place has FELL OFF BIG TIME.... I use to Love this place. But now I wouldn't recommend them to anyone else. I've been disappointed by the food, the last few times I've been here. I go because it's close to my house. The rib tips are VERY DRY, especially when you go early, I think they're selling food from the previous day that wasn't sold. It was around 12:00 pm, I paid $28.00 for a jumbo tip and link combo. The tips were dry and shredded like pulled pork and the hot links were cold. You can NOT tell me that this wasn't food from the day before, I COOK SO I KNOW ABOUT FOOD... AND THAT FOOD WASN'T FRESHLY PREPARED. For now on I'll travel to another barbecue restaurant before I spend any more money here just because it's close to my home... NO I'M DONE, and I've recommended plenty of my coworkers here, JUST for them to tell me that those ribs wasn't what they were expecting ( that they've had better, and won't take that trip again)
