like the retro sodas like Moxie orange cream and the fresh squeezed lemonade. ”

The place is overpriced and the food has never been the same since one of the founders Tex Morgan left. ”

Good smoked meat, hickory and mesquite, Texas style from one who BBQs ”
- “
Though the incredibly huge crowds on weekends tend to make the service a bit slower the food greatly makes up for it. ”
- “
The sides are ok at best, we had the cole slaw which was standard but made well, the mashed taters which were full of garlic and parmesan and very tasty and finally the much tauted blueberry cornbread which was nothing special. ”
- “
Perhaps a rib joint may not be the best place to get a salad? ”

The quality of the meat is consistently great and just falls off the bone. ”

The sauces are excellent as are the side dishes. ”

Well smoked tips, hot fresh cut fries and a real good strawberry shortcake for dessert. ”

Although the Beef ribs have always been good, the chicken is always dry; the babyback and pork ribs can range from grand to bland. ”

The meat is just so damn good. ”

We ordered our meal dry & had all four sauces brought on the side. ”

The BBQ is decent, especially the burgers. ”

liked the baby back ribs with the Memphis Red Vinegar BBQ sauce. ”

Ribtips for appetizers are my favorite, and you can't beat the garbage can lid combo for a meal (or 3-4 meals.) ”

So when we go to dinner we are looing for Quailty food, great service and value. ”
- “
Tasty deep pink smoke rings on everything and the beef has a peppery rub that I taste hours later at home, really good stuff. ”
- “
The sausage link was dry but I have never had a moist juicy sausage link in any restaurant ever so I was not suprised, it was tasty though. ”
- “
The baby backs were fall off the bone tender and the blueberry cornbread was unique and delicious. ”
- “
All the meat was very well smoked and even came with the blue ring which is the sign for authentic BBQ. ”

This place has very good spicy sauce and requires you to use your hands, since forks and knives just won't help you too much. ”

The food was pretty good, the tri tip was overdone, but still flavorful. ”

You can have several choices of sauce, I forgot about that and we were givin the standard house sauce which was pretty damn good. ”

The blueberry cornbread is heavenly, and the meat is so flavorful, even without the sauces (you can order them "dry" and then get the four different sauces on the side for dipping). ”

Looks great, fine meats, fun experience ”

Best picks were the baby back ribs, the huge beef ribs, the blue-cheese pecan cole slaw & the blue berry corn bread. ”

we all had the big beef ribs, and they were awesome! ”

The side dishes like coleslaw are tasteless, and the corn bread/muffins leave little to be desired. ”

For starters the wait to get into this place was ridiculous, and it wasnt because there was a line out the door, we asked for patio seating and it took them 15 minutes to set a table and seat us, and the place wasnt even busy. ”
