Sorriest excuse for $13 mac and cheese I have ever seen. Literally half a cup of elbow macaroni, a bit of cheese, and 4 floppy pickle slices. Disgusting and overpriced. Never again.

Didn't have a full experience here, but I tried the slider trio and it was alright. I figured it would come with coleslaw and sauce but it was all very deconstructed and a little dry.

I got burnt ends. I couldn't even chew the meat , it was like leather. I wish I checked the reviews before I spent 25$ on something that i end up throwing away ‍♀️

If you like bland boring food, this is the place! Was not happy with what I ordered...but I was super hungry and Didn't want to waste the money I spent.

Horrible burnt ends! I order these at every bbq joint that offers them, and these were BY FAR the worst I’ve ever been served. I can’t say “the worst I’ve ever eaten”, because I couldn’t eat the food! Hard as a rock meat. Never again, and wish I’d have checked the reviews before picking a place to eat in the food hall.

Run. Worst BBQ I've ever had. The baby back ribs smelt so foul that I wanted to throw up. It was like rotten meat.

I had the tri-tip salad ( it was a small bowl for $16 plus tax and plus tip ).

Notoriously Bad Barbeque. It was underwhelming. We ordered brisket and chicken combo with mashed potato, coleslaw and slices of bread. The brisket was chopped (that was unexpected) and both meats were topped with this sweet bbq sauce that made the whole plate feel like a deconstructed sloppy joe. For $30, we were not pleased nor satisfied. We didn't think to look up this place to see its rating (because we were hungry) - but now I understand the low ratings...
