Horrible service! Girls working are so preoccupied and don't look past their nose when you pick up food there! Literally waited over 10 mins with the bag I was picking up infront of me that they swore wasn't my order which it was, GET A Clue!!!!

Fair prices. The hamburger was a good size. The pulled pork sandwich was just average. The BBQ sauce didn't have much flavor (didn't try the habenero BBQ sauce) the coleslaw was tasteless. Fun casual atmosphere and really friendly, caring wait staff.

Brisket melts in your mouth. Habanero BBQ sauce is amazing. Love the retro arcades in the back.

The brisket here is unbelievable. I was in the area at lunchtime and stopped by for takeout. This was at noontime on a Sunday. A friendly waitress approached me and offered to take my order. I ordered a 1/2 pound brisket, coleslaw and beans. Took it home, we had it for lunch and dinner that day. Wow that is some tender, smokey, juicy, and delicious meat. Does not need any sauce. The sauce, on the side was very good but too spicy for me. Try the meat first without the sauce. The beans were excellent. The coleslaw was on the mediocre side. If you have not been here, go and enjoy some excellent BBQ.

Texas BBQ diner with a big menu of drinks, happy hour specials, and selection of meat and sides to choose from. The restaurant is very bright, spacious, and well decorated. Service was nice, paid attention to our orders and details. The combo meal was great value: 2 choices of meat (sausage, brisket, chicken, spareribs) and 2 choices of sides (mashed potatoes, coleslaw, potato salad, creamy corn, baked beans, mac and cheese, cowboy caviar, Brussel sprouts, etc.) for $27! The burnt end jalapeño mac and cheese was yummy and great to share. I enjoyed the sides: mashed potatoes, baked beans, and cowboy caviar a lot. The creamy corn was more oily than creamy. For the meats: sausage was very flavorful and yummy. Spareribs tender. The brisket was a bit disappointing given its rather bland flavor and sponge like texture. Chicken wasn't anything special. I would recommend coming here for a good value barbecue and great happy hour spot. Had a good time hanging out with friends over a big meal. Parking lot is small, we parked on the street and walked. There's also an arcade room in the back!
