    Having worked at a barbecue shack when I younger, I have a good taste when it comes to barbecue. Unfortunately they were out of ribs, which is there best meat I am guessing. The brisket was dry but decent, the sausage tasted store bought. Bread needs to be toasted. Pickles were drowned is sugar. If you are looking for an amazing barbecue spot, please try Pineshed.

    We come from BBQ country... happy to find Lawless! The meats are super! There are steps down to the counter to order, but I'm sure they would come up to you ( there are tables up above). Worth your time and money

    Honestly it was pretty great. The frito pie is an overlooked gem. Im from rural Georgia and even though its Kansas City style, it brought me back home for a little bit. Ordered to go, and everything was packed with care. Portion sizes for the price are very reasonable. Smoked turkey sandwich with candied pecans sounded strange from the description, but it worked so well together that I am no longer a skeptic. Will definitely be by again.
