I went out for BBQ with my boys to celebrate the older one's birthday. He wanted to try this place out.
Sadly, we were very disappointed. He and I ordered the "Two by Two"- two types of meat and two sides .
We both had brisket and pulled pork for the meats, he had two different mac and cheese for sides and I had beans and deviled egg potato salad.
The meals were served relatively cool, with his Mac and cheese being cold.
The meats were very dry. Everything looked as if it had been sitting out for a while even though it was served rather quickly.
The deviled egg potato salad was good, as well as my younger son's burger.
I travel for a living and I have had BBQ around the country and this definitely lands near the bottom of my list.
We won't be coming back. Sorry.

I never had their burgers but had other items a they don’t disappoint. This time around I ordered a Tavern Original and it was great, probably one of the better ones I’ve had around this area!

Decided to Order takeout 40 minutes ahead & was told the food was not ready when I arrived. The employees were all perfect & had great customer service, but had to wait 30 minutes for takeout & the 3 burgers I ordered tasted like Sloppy Joes… the total was $80 for three sloppy Joes. Would not recommend unless this is your last resort

Update as of 1-31-26: I see the restaurant replied to my review however they never emailed me proof that the refund was done. I checked my bank account again and nothing has been refunded as of today. There was no trouble with the payment going through on January 10th yet the restaurant claims below in their note they apologize for the bank and they did this refund.
They completely got my online order wrong. Had ordered a 2x2 platter with smoked sausage and sliced brisket. I picked it up and saw when I got home they'd given me pulled pork and chopped brisket instead. Called and Jillian told me the manager Laura would refund my money since I couldn't make it back that day. After also noticed they'd left the brisket I paid extra for off a burger id ordered. Sent an email to confirm they'd refund the extra charge for that as well. Never heard back. Followed up via email and checked my bank account, never received a refund for anything. Will never go back due to all of the mistakes and the extremely poor service with management never following through.
