RVANewsJune 28, 2013The brisket sandwich is piled with slices of gloriously smokey meat cut just the right thickness. It's finished off with some onions, jalapeños, and their tangy sauce on a toasted bun.
Julie BrookeJune 7, 2013Best BBQ in Richmond, hands down. The BBQ sauce makes the meal, the brisket is tender and the jalapeño Mac-n-cheese is just as good as everyone says. Eat here and you won't be disappointed.
Mary GlazenerJune 8, 2016I'm from Texas and am very picky when it comes to saying if something is good or not. But, after several friends suggested it, I came. I was really missing TX. I FOUND IT!!! Just like home. MUST TRY!!
A.J. BrahmMarch 9, 2018Texas Caviar, baby! Corn, celery, red onions, and black beans. You kiddin’ me!? The BBQ sauce is sweeter; almost a cherry flavor came through. Excellent with the meats: pork, beef, or chicken!- Laureston HawleyApril 1, 2015This is my favorite restaurant in RVA! The pulled pork is amazing. I always get a pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad and feel right at home.
Christopher JuncosaSeptember 1, 2016Mac n cheese is glorious. Don't be dissuaded by the jalapeño ... Not spicy. Pulled pork and ribs are awesome too. Smoke ring and everything, real deal.- Brittanie HeightNovember 20, 2013Delicious food. Well executed with just enough sauce on the meat. Loved the Mac & Cheese and the cornbread and the sweet tea is perfectly sweetened. Will be back!!
- X YDecember 22, 2013BBQ here is really exceptional - quality only small "stands" with their own slow smokers can rival. PS: Collards are excellent, what a surprise.
Courtney WilliamsApril 6, 2015Everything is good! I had the BBQ Platter [$9.99] with *Pulled Pork, Brisket, potato salad, *jalapeño mac' n cheese and corn bread. *must try!
Kathy ByrdMay 18, 2017This was a great day to eat outside..I had tacos great flavors love this place 👍🏽
- Chris MooreApril 7, 2019I liked the pulled pork over the brisket, but both were good. The mac and cheese was the beat side.
Donnie GladfelterOctober 26, 2014Their brisket is second only to the brisket I experienced in Texas. The jalapeño mac & cheese is delicious.

Kiana BrownSeptember 7, 2018The jalapeno mac and cheese is awesome! I also got the pulled pork sandwich. It was decent.
LBAugust 19, 2011Try the "Texas Style" Brisket Sandwich with a side of the Texas Caviar (Southwest Black Bean & Corn Salad) was an interesting combo but hit the spot.
Akshay AnikhindiAugust 24, 2015The Trainwreck is what you want. Jalapeño macaroni and cheese is the best.- Keta MaysMarch 19, 2016What an awesome selection for vegetarians! Portobello Trainwreck...... Amazing!!

The cuban sandwich is a perfect pairing to the jalapeño mac!
Warren WallaceApril 5, 2012Get the Beef Brisket with jalapeños! Also the jalapēno mac & cheese. One of my #RVA favorites.
Jeremy GreenwoodAugust 8, 2014OMG the yams. Buttery sweet goodness. Beware of the ribs, they are hit or miss.
LinZMay 20, 2011the pulled pork with slaw is delicious! and the trash can has a mustache! what could be better?
