A great choice to get your BBQ fix of brisket and ribs all made in house with great quality of meats and excellent sides. One can choose from more or less fatty ribs your brisket sandwitche can be made and topped to order. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The place was casual with emphasis on the meat as it should be, it was missing some background music tunes to set up the experience and more drink selection.
My new favorite brisket place. Their pulled brisket is TEN OUT OF TEN 🔟/🔟 Be prepared to dig in as it is going to be fatty and juicy. (take your plastic gloves) 😂 They Also have American/ Russian/ and Australian brisket. Any you take, you can go wrong. Friendly staff and also they gave us 2x Coke and 2x Water with our food for free + we got additional 2 coffees from nearby Coffee Shop SORS. See you next week again.. and week after.. and after.. SMOKEY BEARDS please keep those ovens warm 🔥 However, mac and cheese is plain, need some salt or some seasoning. I would rate than one 3/10.
Better than most places back home in Texas I never though I will ever try better bbq outside TX Only thing missing are pinto beans All other sides were great A must try
We are visitors from Australia who really enjoyed our time at the restaurant. The food was terrific, unlike any BBQ we’ve had in Australia and the theme and decor of the restaurant is on point. The staff were friendly and welcoming and it was a pleasant experience overall, would recommend.
