"I went there for the first time after hearing a positive review & they definitely did not disappoint! The beef brisket was so flavorful (to perfection) & tender. The collard greens are some of the best I’ve tasted & the honey butter & cornbread was unlike anything I’ve tasted before. Needless to say I will definitely be returning!"

"This is the best option for BBQ on the Westside. Great ribs and brisket with a nice bark, good rub and just the right amount of smoke. Sides are not an afterthought — collards, mac n cheese and Texas caviar were all delicious."
