Read moreFamily enjoyed it but didn't care for BBQ sauce at all has this weird after taste. brisket was decent just not super flavorful. Beef ribs was crazy tender and juicy. Pork ribs were slight above average. Service wise they just don't acknowledge you or anything, no interaction at all just take ur order and then pay and asks for tip, and not that they were rude but it almost felt like they were since it felt like they gave everyone the cold shoulder. Just a couple of kids doing their work and no one trained them on how to interact...
