A HacK★★★★The BBQ is everything you could want.Choose sauces to taste from mild to tangy. Top of the line meat quality.Choose fat content to taste. Decor western minimalist. Pricing not inexpensive and well worth it. Service good. Parking on street difficult. AWARDED 2.5 YUMS ON A SCALE OF 3
Hai Truong★★★★★Very friendly staff, specifically Gigi, who gave me great recommendations. The coleslaw surprisingly stood out to me—it was refreshing, crisp, and tangy; kept me coming back. The brisket chili was also great. Flavorful rub for ribs and sliced briskets. My only critique is that the brisket could have been a bit fattier, but the spicy Memphis BBQ sauce (my favorite of the three) completely made up for it. Hard to find a decent BBQ this far north. I would definitely come back.
Latyra Smith★★★I’d give this place about 3 stars overall. The BBQ itself was just okay—nothing terrible, but nothing that really stood out either. Some of the flavors felt a bit underwhelming, and it didn’t quite hit that rich, smoky taste you expect from a solid BBQ spot. Surprisingly, the highlight of the visit was the water. It was cold, clean, and honestly one of the most refreshing drinks I’ve had at a restaurant in a while. That might sound small, but it actually made a difference in the experience.
SlothGalaxy7★★★★★Man oh man I can't recommend the brisket enough. That was like eating pure butter gold. The mac was so cheesy with a great crust. While the brisket chili wasnt bad by any means I just don't think it was my cup of tea /personally/. The sauces were great as well. The ribs were decent but not as tender as I expected I'm not gonna lie. And I'm willing to give them another go on another day. Very clean and very polite staff. Im gonna assume the server at the register (from my receipt) was named Gina and she was so lovely when I told her it was my first time there. Extremely helpful and overall frie
