The food is quite tasty but their pricing is very bad. The pulled pork sandwich is reasonable for what you get, but the BBQ bowl is a major rip off. $18 for a tiny portion and it’s not like there was a lot of brisket in the bowl to justify the high price. It would be helpful for this business to balance their pricing alittle better.

Visited from Omaha for a business trip, and absolutely loved the vibe. Dan was super kind and very helpful with my indecisiveness. Food was amazing!!

OUT N' ABOUT

Update: went in today January 17, 2026 around 2pm... there was only one piece of brisket out, it was dried out, hardly no sides available, and the sausages were burnt. This place needs a serious upgrade on whoever is cooking the food here. My pictures are from the October visit, they definitely didnt have any food out worth taking a picture of today. I wanted to take a picture of the empty hot plates which should have been populated with food, but it was crowded at the restaurant across from here. October 2025: We spent $37 on one meal which was $17 and we asked for a side of brisket...they

This BBQ was straight-up sexy. The pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches were dripping with flavor, messy in the best way, and absolutely irresistible. The pulled chicken bowl? A total tease — smoky, saucy, and hitting all the right spots. The spices had just the right kick, the sauces were bold and seductive, and the sides played their part perfectly. Add in the super friendly staff and you’ve got a place that knows how to satisfy. Honestly, this is the kind of BBQ that makes you want to lick your fingers clean and then go back for more. Naughty, saucy, and oh-so-good.
