Tried the brisket and the sausages bcos it is my first time and they were pretty good. The brisket was cut and then mashed before serving. I didn't know if it was a good or bad thing, but I liked it.

Roberto Bruder Aguiar

The line is so big that when you finally sit to eat, the beer is warm and the brisket is cold. It's still good, but not excellent. The best here is their jalapeño cream corn . The brisket was good too!

Justin Locke

Cornbread Salad , Brisket , Chicken , and Roasted Corn . Brisket was great, Chicken was pretty dry but atmosphere is amazing

Rick Anderssen

I had a quarter pound brisket , one rib , and sausages . All the meats were very good. The brisket was awesome. Very succulent. I'll be back soon.

Brett Elliott

Some of the best BBQ I’ve had. I got brisket , jalapeño sausage and shrimp poppers . It was all good but the shrimp poppers were the best. It’s comparable to Hutchins but cost a bit less.

Karen Brittain

Some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten. We tried a little bit of it all and loved it. Be prepared to stand in line if you don't get there early. But it is worth the wait.

Luke Phillips

You can smell this BBQ from the highway, seriously! Authentic Texas BBQ cooked right in front of you, you actually walk past the smokers while ordering. Be sure you don't skimp on the side dishes!

Megan

I tried the one in Roanoke about a year ago and wasn't impressed.. must've been the end of the shift and meat was a little dry. This new Hard 8 was perfect! Loved it!

I hate to burst all the little Texan hearts, but NYC has far better BBQ places . Try the beef brisket , ribs , and Mac n’ Cheese at Mighty Quinn’s if you ever go on a trip to NYC.

Rib eye , Turkey , chicken and shrimp poppers are all good. Brisket is hit or miss. Ribs are a bit dry. The jalapeno cream corn is to die for.

Winnie Khoo

Fave: sausage , ribs , fatty brisket , fried okra ; Skip: roasted corn , onion rings

Alvin James

Brisket , sausage and ribs was good, shrimp poppers not so much. Very smoky environment. Cool to have beverages available soon as you get in line .

Chiq

Can't recommend enough! From the brisket and ribs , to the sirloin and sides. Free all-you-can-eat beans!

Maximum Burger

Came from CO and we don’t have BBQ like this. Super cool cook setup. Great sausage and poppers

Jocelyn Cooper

Loaded Brisket Potato was Amazing! Cool bar inside and staff is super friendly ! Side note-No public wifi .

Dave Tracey

Brisket is among the best and they have plenty of options for other stuff. Great atmosphere too.

Jason Bennett

I ate around 2 pounds of food when it was all said and done. Food is excellent but be sure not to overeat like I did????

Heather Breidenstein

This location is better than the others. Brisket is alway perfect and the jalapeño cream corn is amazing.

Luis Gonzalez

Everything looks great, i tasted brisket and jalapeno sausage , both were awesome

Randy Sisto

Great BBQ . Order smoked meat by the pound, served up on trays, buffet style serving.

Mike D

Meant to leave a tip earlier, but I just came out a meat coma! I think the bologna juice I.V. did the trick - no tellin' what's in that stuff but it ain't meat

Sirus Orndoff

They have a full service bar available and several walk up bars open on busy nights.

Mya Howe

Very smokey atmosphere. Great meat. Good pork . They charge meat by the pound. Live Music . Average sides.

Mike D

I'm gonna grab somethin with my fork and take off running like someone slapped my Nikes and called me Smokey!!!

Robert Freeman

The waitresses will take your cocktail order once you sit at your table.

Dfw Dean

Average Brisket : on the dry side, needed a dip in sauce.Ribs were better: I just wasn’t a fan of the herb-y rub I tasted.Bacon wrapped shrimp : not bad.

Ryan&Karen

Brisket was the good, steak was not bad but not best I have had, very pricey , for money I could have gone to nice steakhouse and been served!

Ryan&Karen

chaotic & confusing & uncomfortable for the money the accommodations (tables, ease of getting food, process picking sides) were a pain in the butt! loud , cafeteria style , at a table with other people

Lisa Angulo

Rib eye steak and brisket mouthwatering deliciousness.

Food is decent, but Spring Creek BBQ is better, and the wait is much shorter.

Ben Hazelkorn

Smoked meat is very good, but I am not a fan of their BBQ sauce . I like Spring Creek better.
