Good food, definitely go for the bbq tri tip. Service is not very attentive. And no matter whether they are busy or not, be prepared to wait good and long to get a table, then order drinks, then get you drinks, order, get your food, get the check, get your card back after paying, etc.

I ordered a medium well sirloin. I got a well done sirloin. The evening manager proceeded to tell me that it was cooked medium well but it continued to cook in the Styrofoam box on my way home. I have never heard of a Styrofoam box cooking meat.. I have pictures of the overdone sirloin. I would love for the owner to tell me how a Styrofoam box cooks meat. Anyone in upper management is more than welcome to contact me. I wish it would let me add pictures

UPDATE: Despite my initial middling review of 3 stars for the food, I have eaten here several times since then, primarily because it's one of the few BBQ places where they seat and serve you at a table like civilized people instead of making you stand in a long line of people like Soviet-era peasants waiting for a loaf of bread all ordering from one single meat slicer who's working so hard to keep up with orders he's dripping sweat from his forehead all over the meat.Anyway, every meal since my first has been really good! Therefore, let it be known that I have raised my 3 star rating for the food to a 4 star rating! (insert trumpet fanfare)ORIGINAL REVIEW: Nice, big restaurant with table service vs the more common cafeteria style service you find in many other BBQ restaurants. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Only downside was the BBQ. Overall pretty bland without much smokiness to it at all. I had the double meat plate with turkey and jalapeño sausage with pinto beans and green beans on the side. Here's a breakdown:Turkey - Typically I find that turkey and chicken do a good job of soaking in the smokey flavor of a BBQ but this turkey, while good, did not have much of a BBQ flavor. Simply tasted like an oven roasted turkey.Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage - It's evident there was jalapeno in the sausage because I could clearly see it, however, there was virtually no jalapeno flavor. There was definitely a cheese flavor, but often times the cheese flavor was stronger than the sausage flavor.Pinto Beans & Green Beans - Both were generally bland without much flavor. I don't know for certain, but I wonder if the meat isn't prepared elsewhere and then shipped in for the restaurant to heat up as needed.

Food servings are very small for the chicken dishes we ordered, flavor was just okay. Waitress was nice, but seemed overly busy like they were understaffed for a Friday night. They were out of baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, and only had a small serving of butter potato's...uh...we wanted potatoes besides French fries, that's half your vegetable list. Didn't get a picture of one of the chicken dish cuz of how puny it was. We even ordered the 3 meat bbq plate to go since the puny chicken plate wasn't enough to fill my son up, and it only had like half a sausage link, 2 slices of brisket, and 3 small slices of the tri tip. Was very disappointed. Probably won't be back.

Great food and service. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I had dinner with my family. I had the Chicken Fried Steak with Fries and a Side salad. My daughter had The Grilled Chicken with Swiss Cheese and Mushrooms with Buttered Potatoes! My oldest Grandson had the Grilled Chicken with sautéed Jalapeños and Buttered Potatoes. My middle Grandson had the Chicken Fried Sandwich with Fries! And My youngest Grandson had The BELTON TIGER BURGER with Fries. The food was fresh a hot. The food tasted good. The hardest thing to do here it deciding on what to order. It all tastes really good.
