    First things first - the ribs were my favorite, followed by the brisket. We also had sausage. All tender and flavorful. The mac & cheese and corn were sooo good. It was a nice introduction to Texas BBQ. We ordered to-go. The staff and owner were so accommodating as we waited and my fiancé had a beer. The menu was limited because they had run out of some meats/sides during a holiday week - business must be booming. Again, a nice intro to Texas BBQ. Every experience can be different, especially with BBQ. In our experience, the food was not dry and definitely met our expectations.

    The staff here was absolutely magnificent. We were greeted immediately upon entry. It was not long before the food was ready and the food was delicious. Our daughter highly recommended the dirty rice and my wife confirmed that. In addition to the dirty rice, my wife really enjoyed the beans and spicy sausage. This was a great first visit. We look forward to our next visit. Be Blessed

    The 1st time I ate this barbecue it was too good to be true! This is now my 3rd time which was the charm for me having the pleasure to meet “Mrs. Mary Gatlin” the co-founder of the family owned @gatlinsbarbecue . Mrs. Gatlin is a product of #3rdWard and a #JackYates graduate which we both have in common. When you meet this sweet lady she will make you feel like Family forever.👌🏾🫶🏾🤘🏾
