EXCELLENT Based on 2778 reviews Posted on John CharmleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our service was really good. It’s a cool place, but the food just wasn’t good. The ribs were really dry, baked beans were average nothing special, Mac n cheese was eh. Idk I guess I have high expectations for BBQ. I’d probably go to mission bbq instead of here.Posted on Linda DoucetteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my first time here and the staff are amazing (very attentive) , the atmosphere is very nice and the food is delicious. The portion size is very large. There's a good variety of options for everyone and lots of sauces for dipping.Posted on Melinda NunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very loud inside but worth every minute. I came to town for three nights and ate their food every night. Couldn’t get enough of this food; had leftovers for the third night. What else could I ask for? Chopped pork and brisket are amazing, sides too. The service team is exceptional even with takeout the first night. I will definitely be back the next time I come to Venice. Highly recommend if you like a great barbecue spot!!Posted on Leslye MendozaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
