    The reviews seemed promising but this places is way below the average TX BBQ. The brisket chopped sandwich was 6.5/10 but the bun was dry...pulled straight from the back of the store on the bottom shelf. The mac and cheese was decent, potatoe salad NASTY and the banana pudding might have just been...pudding. The pudding was 3/10 because it had a waffer cookie crumble on top and not actually waffer cookies in the pudding. Overall, I know there are way better TX BBQ than this. This was just a quick stop.

    So far the best baked potato I have had from any restaurant. My husband got BBQ in his and it was full of meat, he loved it! Plus the only restaurant you can go to and that don't ask for a tip. Very affordable to eat here.

    Food tastes good, but beware if you order to go, or on a delivery platform as orders are consistently lower quality and not made to specifications (unfortunately). We never get bbq sauce and sandwich came with a low quality bun that looks like a bite was taken out (bag still had “anti-tamper” stickers so it was unlikely to be delivery service. Photo is of sandwich before trying it.
