WATSONDecember 11, 2015So they have the best French fries ever. Pulled pork is amazing with hints of brown sugar & maple! MMmm!! So delicious! BRISKET is sooo good! Good deals on pitchers & IPAS!
Hector ZermenoNovember 6, 2016The trip tip sandwich was beyond expectations. They have an amazing BBQ sauce. And their mash potatoes were divine. Definitely going back here.
Make your own plate. I highly recommend the brisket and ribs. The collard greens, Brazon Fries, and Texas toast are just delicious.
David KenkelAugust 20, 2011They just opened, so some items are missing from the menu. The staff is amazing, though! Get the house BRAG sauce on the brisket and put extra on everything else!
Robert CloseAugust 21, 2011Smokehouse Burger was great. The wait staff were super nice but a little off. I bet they will quickly work out any kinks.
Brazen serves up REAL BBQ complete with A REAL SMOKER and meats cooked low and slow. Unlike other joints with BBQ in their names who are nothing more than BBQ sauce joints.

Suzanne KingDecember 17, 2011Definitely must have the beef brisket & sweet tea. Everything is delicious!
Kendra LoseeApril 30, 2012The ribs were good, skip the brisket. Will try the chicken next time instead!
Jake PlaskettJuly 9, 2012I was disappointed. Service was wonderful (4/5) but the food was terrible (1.5/5). Not worth the price, especially with such good food surrounding it.
