    Somewhat underwhelming considering all the good reviews. Brisket was extremely salty and inedible. Meats were lukewarm. Chicken wings lukewarm too. Sides were the only good part tonight.

    Not an authentic bbq joint. Not sure if they even smoked their brisket or baked in oven as ther was no smoke ring on the meat :( everything was smothered with a heavy bbq sauce as if they were trying to hide the quality of meat/bbq . On top, the service was invisible

    People, service was very good. While the food was very good, it bordered on cold, and inedible. I understand the restaurant business a little. I know it’s Vegas. We didn’t send it back. If the food had been hotter, probably 4+ stars.

    Good food and service - it wasn’t the greatest but not the worst - I wish as with most restaurants you could see the size of the food before it comes out so you really know how much to order

    Very loud so be ready to yell at your table. Server was nice and let us stay as long as we needed. We went during line dancing night, so it was a bit louder than normal. Sat upstairs and took the elevator. Started with the fries which were good but a small portion for $11. I had the pulled pork sandwich and mac & cheese. Mac & cheese was really good. Pulled pork was decent, wish it had more coleslaw on top.

    Ribs were fatty and over cooked. So over cooked it was hard to bite into. Grits were watered-down. Pulled pork was dry.

    In Las Vegas to catch a show at Cesar’s. We had a taste for ribs and this place was recommended on google, which was great because it was within walking distance from our hotel. Was able to make reservations for that evening at a reasonable time. We were seated immediately and waited on by a very friendly waitress. We ordered ribs and catfish with sides of macaroni and cheese and biscuits. Very good. My only issue was the fried catfish wasn’t seasoned enough but a little hot sauce did the trick. And it was even better for breakfast the next morning. The pecan pie and banana pudding were also very good.

    The service was kind of slow and unenthusiastic. There were four of us at the table - one had the ribs and they were dry and tough. The brisket was fine but the whole plate tasted like it had been sitting for a while - not fresh and hot.

    We (our family of three) were in Vegas for 4 days and this was our favourite food venue. The service (Jay) was very attentive and the food was excellent. All the portions were too much for us to finish, but everything was very well prepared and well presented. The portions were generous, to say the least, (I don’t think any of us cleaned our plates and I barely finished my mug of beer [please don’t tell my beer drinking friends cause they will undoubtedly mock me]). Personally, I always like to try and sample some desert, but there was no way after eating my ‘1/2’ rack of ribs [and I snuck two ribs onto 23-year old son’s plate] there was any chance (first for me … not a huge dude … but I train hard and can typically eat lots of good food) but deserts I saw at tables around us looked awesome too. We [fam] like this place so much, went back for breakie/brunch the next day. (Recommended by my spouse who does not really like smoked food, but my son and I love it)

    The food came out really quickly and was hot and delicious. We had ordered beers and didn’t have time to finish them before the food came. Honestly, if you want a drink before your food, order and drink it before putting in the food order.
