    You wouldn't think some of the best BBQ you'll ever eat would be in a grocery store, but here we are. Absolutely perfection on taste and texture, large portions, great value and incredibly friendly service. I've spent 10x this on BBQ in Nice restaurants and didn't get half what I did here. Craziest thing ever but it works. Kudos to Kimberly, the manager. She runs an excellent show 👍

    The portion was way to small, and dry for the price. The coleslaw was bitter probably expired. The server coughed near the food prep without covering or washing. Very unhappy with the service and food

    Carla was fantastic, I got the wrong type of meat (I mistakenly ordered the wrong thing no fault of Carla’s) and she was kind and patent. The whole team working that day provided top tier customer service! Will be returning.
