    Very good brisket and burnt ends. Had a very nice woman at the pickup counter grab my order for me. She dealt with a rude belligerent doordasher in front of me in a very professional manner. I would recommend this place for nice staff and good food if you are in the area.

    Absolutely the best BBQ I've had ever, fantastic atmosphere, amazing service and everyone is so friendly. The food is delicious, I'm not usually one to stop for BBQ but I will be back any time I'm in Gainesville! Do yourself a favor and eat here. I got the 2x2 with brisket and pulled pork, along with the 4R BBQ beans and cheesy potatoes. If I could give more stars I would!

    We’ve visited this location several times, and it’s one of our favorite places to eat. Every visit has been great, but my most recent experience really stood out. They were incredibly busy, and I was having a difficult day. I felt overwhelmed and accidentally misread the menu while ordering. I have several protein allergies, and as soon as I mentioned the word “allergy,” the staff immediately shifted their focus to making sure my meal would be safe for me. At checkout, Ariel stepped in to help, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She was patient, understanding, compassionate, and genuinely kind. She never made me feel rushed or like I was inconveniencing anyone. Instead, she made me feel seen, cared for, and completely at ease during a moment when I really needed it. The food was incredible, as always, but the exceptional customer service is what truly made this visit memorable. Ariel’s personality and customer service skills are outstanding, and she’s a wonderful example of how much a little kindness can mean. Thank you to the entire team for consistently providing such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back!!

    Absolutely do not trust this place to get your to go order correctly. I have never had a restaurant worse at putting everything in an order than this location. Not just once either.

    The food quality was incredible and so was the service. The area was extremely welcoming and the staff made sure you wanted to enjoy your meals. The dining manager, Jack, checked up on my table every so often to make sure we were doing good and wanted to confirm the quality was there. 10/10 would recommend.
