The bbq brisket was PURE salt. I could not even finish my sandwich because I had to take bites of cornbread dipped in sweet BBQ sauce just to get rid of the extreme salt taste in my mouth.

Yummm!!! Never know what kind you deal you get but the team at the VH location hooked us up with a full slab for the price of half! Woot!

Had the scorpion burger and was not impressed. It was not spicy at all and a bit too sweet. The bun felt like it just came out of the refrigerator? Why not warm it up or something. The service is always good here and they do have the best fried pickles in the area.

I came here for a take-out salad with BBQ meat on top and was pleasantly surprised by the overall presentation and cost. I paid under $10 for my lunch and it was great. There’s another BBQ place nearby that charges over $14 for a lunchtime salad so, I was happy to see I can get a reasonably priced good BBQ salad in the area. My only complaint with the place was they gave me pre-packaged containers of their signature BBQ sauces and both were loaded with high fructose corn syrup which is bad for you and an ingredient I avoid. I would hope the sauces offered at the restaurant are better but I suspect come from the same place. My salad was a good portion along with the pulled pork I had for my meat.

Best thing on the menu is the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on Texas toast. Nashville spy chicken sandwich is not bad. Brisket is very dry at this location and the Northbrook location.

Great food and even better service! My family and I visited for the first time a few weeks ago. When the cashier found out it was our first time there he offered my son a free cookie. While eating dinner a woman stopped by and gave us peach cobbler for dessert – It was amazing! I’m 8 months pregnant and have been craving it ever since.

Everything was delicious. I got the smokehouse salad which had a health portion of chicken. I also got two sides the green beans and the baked beans.

Ordered carryout, curbside delivery. Judges Sampler with Sausage link added. Sausage completely burned. Ribs very dry and overcooked. Chicken was ok. Overall, some of the worst BBQ we have ever had.
