I have visited a number of Texas BBQ spots over the years. This place is the real deal! The most amazing food options, they have it available to you and at the elite and authentic Texas quality. All must go! When you go, it won't be your last visit.

I got take out.I honestly ribs but they were sold out. So I went with the brisket sliced and two sides macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Came to $30 I was not disappointed the food was good I did have to add a lil seasoning to all. The workers behind the counter and ones bring out food were very friendly loved that. There was one guy idk what role he had but he asked couple in front of me questions like how did you hear about this place what's your opinion on it overall. Then just nod to me and went behind me to next person and asked questions. I am a poc the rest were not.

10/10! I’m not from the area and come to visit family! Saw this place featured in a TikTok and stopped by and was not disappointed. Some of the best bbq food I have ever had! Going to visit every time I come down now. Owner was also very very kind and deserves to be recognized!

Went for the first time today and the food was amazing. Taste almost like Texas bbq. The only thing that was missing was Texas hahaha. Definitely will be back again. Only thing with service is everyone there seems a little lost or distracted when ordering. My new favorite bbq place.

Best bbq in the state, and the sides were just as good. The bacon and bleu slaw was so unique and the Mac and cheese were amazing. The sauces were also perfect, complimenting the meats just tuning it out

Really great food. Fast service. If you want more options, make sure you show up early. They're selling out fast, which should be a sign of how good the food is.
