    I got the BBQ brisket sandwich, it was so good! The meal was so moist and tender. The mac n cheese was yummy as well. I thought the small boy would be enough but it was the perfect size. Great staff!

    This is the only BBQ in San Diego that deserves to even use the name BBQ.

    This place is a bit overhyped. Rib tips are quite tasty though.

    Very disappointing being they from TX. I’m from TX and this ain’t good BBQ. Brisket was plain and flavorless. Not going back and rather go to Phil’s when I’m in da 6-1-9 son 👎🏽

    The food is ok. I ordered online and when I arrived to pick up the restaurant knotted the take out bags. I couldn't check my order w/o ripping open the bags. And my order was done incorrectly.
