    Smoked fried chicken is very tasty, full flavored and not too salty; cole slaw is creatively made & very good. Great service.

    As a southerner who was born and raised in the South. This is the closest to the real deal BBQ you will find in SF! Also the carry mustard BBQ sauce! A+++ in my book.

    This BBQ is just as good as some of the best I’ve tried in Kansas City, Memphis, or Texas. Slow service but worth the wait.

    Spicy pulled chicken sandwich was REALLY good. So much flavor. The sauces on the table are also pretty good and not generic.

    The brisket is fantastic at this casual "cue" house. The pulled pork is delicious, as is the killer banana pudding. Read more

    Not to be schizophrenic about it, but there’s a time for laughter, a time for crying, a time for vegetarian food, and a time for Texas beef brisket that’s been smoked for 18 hours. Don't miss out. Read more

    Wednesday is "Pastrami Wednesday" and the pastrami sandwich is terrific. But even better is the pastrami Reuben, incredible. Only on Wednesdays.
