Josh BowdenOctober 12, 2013BYOB. Make sure to get the burnt ends and the pork belly. Brisket is okay.
Patrick HealyNovember 1, 2014If you have not ordered yet, get up and walk out now. This place made me want to become a vegetarian. Everything LOOKS good but the meat here is bland and textureless. You'll thank me for this review.
- Patrick HealyJanuary 10, 2015Tried the four meat platter. Looks good right? It wasn't. In fact, we left almost all of it behind. Didn't even wrap out to go. Who'd eat it? Bland and dry. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Sean SmithOctober 1, 2014Burnt ends were great. Some other things were a bit dry. But the sauce is good and solves that.
Erik CintronJuly 8, 2012Having been to a few BBQ this is not the best but queens doesn't haven't anything even close to it so it will do. The portions were not worth the price but service was great. Best thing is Byob!!!
The pulled pork is to fucking DIE for! They even gave me free apple cake
- Patrick HealyDecember 28, 2014Careful about not liking this place. The owners will personally attack you online. Really classy.
Brianna SavianoSeptember 24, 2015My Filipino boyfriend was disappointed in the "longaniza." My pulled Bork was great, though.
Julienne JanineJuly 4, 2013I'm not a big meat eater so I really liked the BBQ pulled chicken and mac and cheese. Chili nachos are good too. It's a BYOB spot so hit the deli next door for any adult beverages. Try the burnt ends!
Varun JollyApril 4, 2012First time here.. Finally!! Insane pulled pork! Go 50/50! And the diet mexicane cola!- Patrick HealyFebruary 4, 2015Bathrooms at this barbecue place were dirty and the ribs, pulled pork, and burnt ends were without texture or taste. Avoid this place.
KarenMarch 15The food was okay. Not anything spectacular. Had the french toast, but it was dry. Presentation was not the best.
Aleson HoApril 8, 2015Bad system for seating dinner rush. They have "reservations" but not really. Still waited an hour. Don't go during the rush. Food's good, small portions, service sometimes slow, not worth wait.

"Very spacious and the wings are awesome. The California pulled pork is a must if you like pork of course. The Texas size drinks are big, and sweet with just enough liquor."

"Best bet is the platter (ribs, brisket, turkey, pulled pork). For sides, slaw was good and greens exceptional. Corn bread ++"
