Ordered 2lb ribs yesterday for take out. Today me and my girlfriend started the day making brown gravy on the toilet. The ribs lacked the smokey BBQ flavor that I remember (no bbq smell at all, were they cooked in an oven?). The were soft but not falling off the bone like I remember. Something seems to of really changed since they moved to this truck and it isn't good. What happened to delicious food yall used to serve :(

We ordered food through the QR code out front of the truck. After 30 minutes I find out that it was sent to the other location. I scanned the QR Code there… why would it not be directed to THAT location. The staff was kind and said that they would start working on my order. After another 20 minutes I checked back in and they said they don’t have an order. I was under the impression that the order would be transferred. I had at this time a screaming toddler and it was my husband’s birthday. Fix your QR codes.

This place REALLY went down the drain. I’ve been coming for years, i probably won’t come back after today. The food was meh, but the staff working the food truck couldn’t speak English enough to explain what the special was, and was pretty rude about it. Got home, food looks super dry and doesn’t look up to Texas standards. I get it, times are hard. Pack up, take a break, and start a new brand. I’ve seen yall go down for years after the bowling alley stuff and I’m truly sorry but I can’t sped my money here anymore.

It just wasn’t good. Nachos used canned cheese I’m pretty sure and the brisket was drier than a bone
