    OpenTable allowed us to book a reservation for this location, however they weren’t open on the day we booked which was very unfortunate (Tuesday 9/24). Restaurant and open table need to work together to confirm actual available times based on open days of operation.

    Well spiced food and sides. Bathrooms need repair and tables are sticky

    Very run down place, though they may have intended it to be that way. BBQ counter you would find in any backwoods off the freeway part of Texas. For starters, the brisket doesn't have any smoke enhanced flavor to the meat at all. Which makes me think it was simply over seared, charred and oven baked. Brisket isn't trimmed - so you have a deep layer of fat. Sausage is passable in flavor but dry overall - could use some fat blend to keep some moisture in it. Ribs were ok, again no smoke flavor to it. BBQ sauce is on the tangy side - overall definitely what I wouldn't expect restaurant or even side of the road quality. I'd say even Buc-ee's is better than this place.

    Food is delicious. Outside area looks fun, but it was hot so we ate in doors. Nice bar outside too. Pretty old looking in-doors, not the fanciest. But very good bbq, great service.

    The food was great. The pictures of the Ferris wheel, however were incorrect! Ferris wheel wasn’t even as big as a carnival Ferris wheel.

    This place is great! We ordered the Full Ride which was a ton of food. The ribs were so tender they were falling off the bone. Brisket was tender and moist, as were the pulled pork and turkey. We also tried most of the sides which were also delish. The prices were the most reasonable in the city! If you haven't been, you're missing out. this will be our go to!
