The ribs looked baked. As you can see by my picture the ribs had no browning at all. (That was the top, not the bottom of the slab.) They are a “full slab” (looks like it was cut in half lengthwise). I asked for beef but these look like pork. I was not told I wouldn’t be getting beef. The taste was good for both items without even using BBQ sauce at least. However, the texture of the ribs was very tough and almost rubbery in a way. The chicken was more moist and tender.

Everything tasted good. Chicken was a delicious appetizer. Hopefully that chicken had baby chicks to pass on those wonderful genes for us to eat.

Foods good, but service is meh. They removed the option to get 1/3 ribs or half rack, seams like a lazy business practice that just suppose to make it easier on them, instead of giving you the option to mix in a few ribs with your meal.. not really an “express” place to eat.. came in on a Saturday during lunch time and place was a ghost town but surprisingly still took 20 mins to get food. Not offering 1/3 and half rack of ribs is just plain dumb.

Walked in casually on a Saturday afternoon and SO glad we did. Excellent atmosphere, excellent service and food to die for. HIGHLY recommend. The brisket melts in your mouth, the rotisserie chicken is perfection and the mashed potatoes are beyond words. Our new favorite spot!

Editing my review to reaffirm my position on this restaurant. Great quality and surprisingly good portion sizes. Price is good when compared to other rotisserie places. Inside is fairly small and rustic but still nice enough to be comfortable. I usually get the big oak burger, the burger itself is fairly standard but the brisket on top is fantastic and the fries are really solid too.

The ribs smelled and tasted like rancid grease. We we walked in around 7 on a Friday and we were the only ones there, that should have told me about there food. The best way to describe their food, if you ordered bbq in a hospital. The employees were awesome.

Food was so bad, brisket tasted like pot roast, the chicken sandwich tasted old and bland 0 smoke flavor. The slaw was concrete and the potato salad tasted store bought. Didn’t even dare to try and finish this garbage. Also 0 AC in the building.

although they have record timing for delivery, my partner and I were both very disappointed with our meals. the meats are clearly boiled and were very bland. great potato salad and spicy BBQ sauce… however they don’t “smoke” any meat. prices are insane, for a little soggy flavorless meat on a bun , a little meat on a tortilla and a sauce size cup of potato salad for nearly 40 bucks… many improvements could be made in my opinion, there is definitely potentional.
