Came in on a Friday night at just before 10pm gentleman greeted us wonderfully. We sat down to order and placed a rather large appetizer order. He got us drinks and while deciding what to order for dinner, the gentleman come over and tells us that the cook had shut down the kitchen already. I asked what does that mean to clarify what he was letting us know and he straight forward told us that the cook turned everything down and the kitchen was closed to include that he had just left without telling him. He promptly apologized several times and we left with no problem letting him know that we would be back the next night. Saturday night 730 came in and another gentleman greeted us. We let him know that we were a party of 4 and he immediately asked if we had tickets. We asked for what and he stated for the comedy show that they were not taking anyone else for dinner. I then explained to him what had happened the night before and it didn't phase him. Two times came in for barbecue and could not be served. Could not try the food to tell how good or bad it is because we weren't taken care of either time to try it. Just wish this place just a little better...

Great BBQ, great prices, great service! What more can you ask for?

It's been several years since I added this shop to Google and I have stopped here every time I come to the keys. Food and service has been consistently great - until this time. The pork is still great but their "smoked" wings are deep fried and burned to a crisp. They tell you it's normal to be black as coal. The guy working is clearly unsuitable as it took him 10 minutes to type the order into his keypad. I thought maybe it was his first day, but I stopped here again 3 days later and he was even worse. He couldn't understand that I wanted 3 lbs of pulled pork, no matter how many times I explained it. He keeps saying it's by the pound, not by the 3 pound. (Really?...
