Yes, you should go here. They have patio seating and allow dogs. They accommodate gluten free, including those (like me) with allergy or severe aversion. Just ask inside and they’ll explain what’s what. I got the half rack of ribs with coleslaw and BBQ baked beans. Delicious. Boyfriend said the cornbread muffin was the best he ever tasted I’m really glad we stopped in; we will be back.

This BBQ restaurant was excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant and the customer service was outstanding. The owner, Brett, was there and helped us make our selections. The most important thing is the ribs. The baby back ribs and chicken were made to perfection. They were tender, tasty and the sauce was excellent. The service was quick but, this is not fast food. Brett told us that it takes hours to smoke the ribs and chicken. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Wonderful eating experience. They made us feel right at home. Speedy service and delicious food. All of our dishes were perfectly prepared. I especially enjoyed the beef ribs and their chicken. The meat fell off the bone, was moist, and delicious! I highly recommend this BBQ joint…

Nice size portions. Clean establishment, good and friendly staff. Food is good, but not great. Fries and coleslaw were excellent. Chicken was a little dry and I prefer a sweeter BBQ suace (personal preference). But over all a good dinner experience

Brett’s BBQ in my first stop when I have a barbecue craving. They have a great menu and I’m still trying new dishes. I really like the Pit Master salad with either beef brisket or pulled pork and the dressing is great. Sandwiches are great, they even have smoked turkey. They have all the traditional sides like beans, slaw, mac and cheese, and hush puppies. They do serve beer which always goes well with bbq.

I’ve never been to this place myself, but I ordered delivery from them several times. Their chicken and baby ribs are delicious, smokey enough, but not over smoked. Salads on the side (coleslaw and potato) are very good, too. Size of the portions is large enough to feed 3-4 people.

Good but not great. Order cafeteria style. Plain tables. I had a pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries for $11.85. The pork serving was generous sized and pretty good. The sandwich bun was your typical cheap hamburger buns.

Good, but overpriced. Only one type of BBQ sauce on the tables.

Saw good reviews and was craving BBQ. Place was empty at 4pm, normal for restaurants on a weekday. Ordered the beef ribs, with two sides. The ribs were a little tuff to get off the bone and were oilly. Ordered mac & cheese and corn pudding for sides. Both were mushy and it seemed that they were microwaved? Not sure. The pudding even tho its supposed to be pudding, it lacked some kind of texture. The taste overall was good, but not great. Service was good, person at counter had a smile and a smile goes a long way. I thinks why I am giving 4 stars and not 3.

Delicious. You have great options to select from. Last time we went I got the baked potato with chicken and it was delicious. They have large platters if you’re very hungry and average size meals if you are not. The staff is very friendly. Good parking also
