    Food was not really good. I got sausage beans and green. I didn’t finish any of it. Server was very nice and helpful. Upstairs area was out of napkins, pepper etc.

    Shante and David is so amazing both just go above and beyond♥️. Highly irritated with the service I received tonight on 3/3/26, I normally don’t have an issue I asked politely, if my food could be made to the order and they made it to go and didn’t bother to correct the mistake so I asked for my money back I will not ever order here again unless I see Shante or David they crew that was here tonight brushed it off like it wasn’t an issues and that’s why I left this review SMH. They caused a bad review because they didn’t listen.

    This is a great option for when we want a quick bite. If you’re really lucky, Christy will be at the register. Always upbeat and never forgets to ask if you want all the standard ingredients on the baked potatoes. I skip the green onions and appreciate not having to pick them off. And it’s always clean inside.

    Had brisket, beans and potato salad. Brisket was pretty good, beans were delicious. Do not eat the potato salad, it's like opening a jar of mayonnaise and spooning it. Shante at the register was a pleasure to deal with, very helpful and nice.

    I got absolutely destroyed by the ordering terminal. The self-service terminal at the entrance wasn’t working, so everything bottlenecked to a single counter terminal. I grabbed a Coke and tried to order food, but the system is a maze of submenus where half the items are sold out. After multiple attempts, I finally managed to order some food… only to realize I still had to add the Coke separately. I asked the lady at the counter—who was pacing back and forth handing out orders—if she could help me add the drink. The response was a snappy “under drinks, select bla bla,” at a point where I was already fully dehumanized by this funky ordering system. All I wanted was BBQ and a little human interaction. Instead, I felt like I was battling a half-working 1990s slot machine disguised as a modern POS. So I bailed and grabbed one of H-E-B’s top-notch rotisserie chickens for $7 instead. As an engineer, I genuinely expect better. One star for an ordering system that turns BBQ into a stress test.
