This is a world class Mexico dumpster dive. When there's more protein flying all around your food then there's on your plate you try not to think of where the flies landed before puking and shutting all over the food back in the kitchen.ðŸ¤¢ðŸ¤® What health department? If you like fli shit and puke filth go ahead and contribute to a business that apparently doesn't care about any kind of public health standard. ( F ) Score!--- in response to my opinion and my money. There are many restraints that have basically no flying insects that the public has to fight off and at y'all's prices there should be door entry blowers to discharge flies. But hey, make excuses and let the public beware of flies on their food and the fight they'll have as they eat average fli-ridden food.

Stopped by to get some food to go. Got brisket, ribs, sausage, beans, and potato salad. First of all service was excellent and quick. Ribs were OUTSTANDING, some of the best I've had. Sausage was very good. Beans and potato salad were very good. But now the brisket. I asked for and paid extra for Lean brisket. Either the cutter didn't get the word that I wanted lean, or their definition of lean and my definition of lean is different. Entirely too much fat and griddle in this brisket. At least half the weight of this brisket was fat and griddle. Lots of room for improvement on that. But I will be coming back for the ribs.

I actually left this place extremely disgusted. First, charging patrobs 50c for a water cup - then not caring enough to give it to the customer upon ordering... It's obnoxious. Just stop this! I was afraid to walk into the bathroom, they might be charging for toilet paper. Or better, yet they could charge people for the air, they breathe when they dineing in. You really don't want people to walk away feeling this way, do you?Sausage is chapel hill... it is slow cooked, but the outside casing is so raw you can't chew it. Had to spit it out. Put a little smoke and char on it, then it would be just fine. QC tip, if you can't chew it, don't serve it. Please, don't do it the way you've been doing it, it's nasty...Ribs were sold out at it noon. I got the last three. They looked great but lacking in flavor. Maybe they forgot the rub, regardless it was mush, way overcooked.I smoked a lot of meat, and I have been to a lot of bbq places in TX. I was excited about their championship claims. Sadly, this was easy to say, beyond a doubt, this was one of the worst I have been to.I hope your experience is better than mine. I could never go back!

Amazing food, nice people. I enjoyed the experience & as a baked potato connoisseur.... I must say it was definitely one of the best I ever had. I would recommend calling first because some items tend to be sold out when it gets later in the day, especially the potatoes and green beans.

Great place for BBQ. We got our food fast. The service was very courteous and friendly. The sliced brisket was the most tender and moist brisket I've ever had. It is obvious why they have won so many awards for their BBQ. I liked the green beans and the baked beans the best from the sides we tried (potato salad and corn were the others). They had run out of the Mac and cheese by the time we arrived, which was close to closing. We got the two meat plates. Ask for bread on the side. Chicken was dry, but good. Especially when you slather on the BBQ sauce. Definitely a good stop for BBQ.
