Garbage. Paid nearly $30 for a 5 meat plate and a large coke. The lady taking our order did not know how to operate the headset and asked us to pull forward. When she finally came to the window we were informed they are out of two of the meats we selected, ribs and turkey. We said we did not need a receipt which she handed to us anyways in lieu of keeping our debit card. 10 minutes later as people are coming and going she comes out and states they are out of another one of our selected meats; chicken, after we already paid. When I asked for a refund she ignores me and said they are already almost done building our plate. So we opted for double sausage. In the end out of the 6 to 7 meats they offer, 3 were available so we had to double up. Another ten minutes go buy as people come and go and they bring us our food. When I called them to address the issues there was nothing but disdain on the other line and was told that the chicken that we ordered was taken by another customer after we had already placed our order. Not sure how that works. When we got home and checked the food there were very small portions of the three meats they had available, which is why we specifically attempt a variety because they skimp you on so called doubles of a specific meat on one plate, while offering more for the same price with if they are different selections. All in all brisket was dry, gristly and tough, incompetent and rude employees, skimpy servings for the price so I guess they are pretty proud of their stuff, out of multiple menu items regularly. Done with Sharon's.

This place is fantastic. The food is great and you don't get any of the staff bothering you every 5 minutes like some other BBQ Cafés that I've been too. Highly recommended ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

That might have been the best peach cobbler I've ever had. The smoked brisket was pretty good too. Their potato salad was a bit too sweet and more like mashed potatoes than I like but it was ok. Good iced tea and great service. Did I mention the peach cobbler. Man it was great.

We arrived an hour before closing and a lot of the meat was gone due to a higher than average day. We wanted brisket and thankfully they had enough for two plates. The meat and sides were delicious and the staff was warm and friendly!

We really enjoyed our lunch here! We got a large combo plate with sausage, turkey, and brisket and all three were so delicious. The meat was very tender and flavourful, and I loved their barbecue sauce. I also really liked the fact you could get as many different sides as you want (whatever you can fit on your plate). The corn and macaroni are especially good. They also serve homemade white bread and cornbread, which were very tasty. All in all, a very good value for the price!
