What to Order
Smoked Brisket
This brisket is a standout, known for its incredible tenderness, perfect smoke ring, and rich flavor, often featuring delicious burnt ends and a proper bark.
"The smoked brisket was incredibly tender with a perfect smoke ring, and the ribs were juicy and full of flavor. You can tell the meats are slow-smoked properly the way real Texas barbecue should be."
Joshua Jet
Ribs (Baby Back or Riblets)
Whether baby back or riblets, the ribs are consistently praised for being juicy, tender, and falling off the bone, packed with flavor.
"The ribs, brisket and chicken were all perfectly prepared and flavourful."
Aaron G
Brisket Beans
These baked beans are a highly recommended side, noted for their exceptional flavor and often containing BBQ meat.
"The Mac and cheese was good, and the brisket beans were exceptional. I will be back."
Anthony
Mac and Cheese
A popular and well-loved side dish, the mac and cheese is consistently described as good and impressive.
"The sides are just as impressive (especially the mac and cheese and cornbread), and the portions are generous."
Taylor Ryanne
Cornbread
Despite some comments on size, the cornbread is frequently mentioned as a delicious and excellent accompaniment to the BBQ meats.
"Goes very well with their excellent corn bread."

Inside Scoop
- Consider the taster platters or sampler sets for sharing and trying a variety of meats and sides.
- Reservations are recommended, especially on busy weekend evenings, as seating can be limited.
- The service style is counter-service, where you order at the counter and food is brought to your table.
- Be aware that side portions, particularly the cornbread, can be quite small.
- The location is a bit isolated, so plan for transportation, but it's worth the trip for the BBQ.
