My family of 6 came to dine and the host was very friendly. Our server gave us excellent recommendations and thoroughly explained everything, she was so great! Wish I caught her name so I could give her recognition on my review. She recommended the platter and ribs for our family and food was 10/10. Service was above and beyond, thank you to the Offset kitchen and staff for serving us and being so welcoming. Would definitely visit again next time we’re in town.

Hands down have the best wings I’ve had in the city. Got them plain so I could try their three sauces, each of which are unique in their own (good) way. Cheesy cauliflower and waffle fries were good as well, as was the espresso martini. The oreo crust and real banana ice cream sandwich was beyond good. Staff was wonderful, cute ambiance. Definitely will be back.

Great food, drinks, and service. Maria was our server who was friendly, knowledgeable, and bubbling with personality. We had drinks, wings, a variety of meats, and cheesy cauliflower. All the sauces were amazing and made in-house. The owner checked on us a few times. My only regret is not visiting sooner. A legit hidden gem.

Amazing BBQ! Wife and I had the Meet our Meets in order to try it all out and it was all phenomenal! The chicken was tasty and juicy, the pulled pork was so good and tender. We also ordered a slab of ribs and boy were we glad we did! Super smokey delicious flavor, fall off the bone. The sides! Ordered the Elote which was awesome, the green beans which the wife loved. I don’t regularly like green beans that much but I sure as heck ate some of those! Overall an awesome experience and will be back for more!

Coming here to offset BBQ was an amazing experience. I’m so glad I came here for lunch. Carlo and Dani were very helpful with my first time being here, to make sure I got what I wanted. The BBBLT and pulled pork was so good, that I regret not going for seconds. The meat was seasoned very good, it has the smoked flavor with a hint of spice but not spicy at all. The cornbread is Boston market cornbread lite, and the sweet potato wasn’t shabby. The horchata….well it’s ok, but I wouldn’t consider it top of the line. I’m glad I came here for lunch, so now i will definitely come back for more.

Now, I will note that I went here with a buddy of mine that goes here often, so they took care of us, but Offset BBQ is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to, full-stop.

We had their double cheeseburger that was very Delicious, we also had the barbecue ribs it was a little dry and over cooked other wise it wasn’t too bad at all They were willing to give us a fresh batch of Barbecue ribs. I recommend that you come by and give him a try for yourself. Service atmosphere was outstanding I’m definitely coming back.

I’m not a big BBQ guy in general so don’t take my review seriously in that sense. The food was good, we liked the sides a lot:cornbread and cauliflower mac n cheese. The meats were tender but better with the sauces. Maybe it is all about the sauce. I would open the place up and get some live music I there, get it popping. The service was impeccable and was very nice. Just for that we will come back, or order catering for the next time we have family or friends over. Well done friends.

First time visiting and everything was excellent. Got a platter with brisket and sausage. Both meats were very good and the different sauces were good. The platter comes with two sides and I got a smoked sweet potato which was so delicious. I also got coleslaw. Generous portion of slaw which was very tasty. They offer different items than just a normal bbq place and look forward to trying the ribs and other items. The owner was there and was very friendly and helpful. If you are in the area please try and of you are not in the area you should be.
