Brisket By The Pound - Absolutely terrific and great if you just want to throw a couple sammies together or add some great meat to a dish!
3 Meat - Great bang for your buck! I went with sliced brisket, ribs, and sausage. The ribs were smothered but you could tell they were patted down with a good dry rub beforehand. The Mac and cheese side is decent, and the fries were seasoned well.
I think I found my new favorite BBQ joint!

I eat a lot of BBQ, and this was some of the worst I’ve had. I ordered a 3-meat plate and only got two meats. Everything was bland, under-seasoned, and tasted like acrid smoke rather than proper hickory or oak. The smoke flavor was harsh and bitter, like a brushfire. Huge disappointment. 3 people ordered, all of us hated it. What a waste of $100.

Amazing! Food was flavorful and ribs huge! So satisfied! Potato salad tastes homemade, collards were soulfully good and the HushpuppiesOMG!! Will mark this one as a favorite.

Portion size was great. The brisket had a good flavor but it had ALOT of fat. We found the wet ribs to be bland and under seasoned. The Macaroni was bland and the baked beans and green beans was bland as well

The food was bland...no seasoning and imo slightly overpriced for the amount that you get pertaining to the meat portions. This was my first time trying them and I was DISAPPOINTED to say the least. The sauce (they had on the side) and jalapeño cheddar sausage was good BUT the chicken, pork and ribs were overly cooked/dry.
