    Both the food and the service were good. I have to admit that the concept of a BBQ restaurant taking reservations seemed strange, but because we were on a time schedule, we did reserve and were seated promptly when we arrived. Between the four of us, we had three different items off of the menu: the ribs, brisket, and the Wednesday Special of Smoked brisket baked potato. All enjoyed their food. They bill the BBQ sauce as mild, but it has a little bite but is very flavorful.

    We came in for a birthday experience. What we had of the food was good, but the service was lacking. The birthday man got his salad and food, but his wife got nothing. Literally, not a morsel and no acknowledgement of the situation. It was disappointing to say the least. On top of that, we were charged full price. I’m not one to complain, but this was beyond subpar. The server wrapped up the missing meal and that was that. Had it not been my husband’s birthday, something would have been said. We won’t be back. The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.

    We both had the beef tenderloin salad. Unique and delicious and one of our favorites, although everything is good. We finished and shares the banana pudding, which was amazing, too!

    In town from Texas to see a Thunders game. Stopped by for a 50th birthday dinner for my husband’s. The ambiance inside was fun- country western style. Food was fantastic! Love the pulled pork and burnt ends and the pie and bread pudding were fantastic. My picky eaters enjoyed the burger, Mac and cheese, and pulled pork sandwich. Very accommodating. Everyone who worked there was friendly and our waitress was great with helping to put candles on the dessert for my husband. Good times and food. Would recommend and come back!

    The food was not edible. This is NOT BBQ!!!! Four of us ordered everything different, and we all tried everything that each of us had ordered, and each of us agreed that it was awful. And we all know good BBQ. We all left 90% of everything that we ordered. Mains, and sides alike. Sauce was very ketchup like.. The slaw tasted like there was floor cleaner in it. The meat on the ribs had zero smoke ring just mushy white flavorless dry junk. “Powdery” Although, the drinks were good. The service was good. But yes, 1000%…. the food was very very BAD. Shameful….

    A+ on the value A+ on the service Every dish my wife and I ordered was delicious, and the portions were generous. The cocktails were tasty and poured well. Oftentimes, unless you order something like a martini or old fashioned, you can't tell there's any alcohol in your cocktail. Not here though! I would go back for the drinks alone, but their BBQ is fire af. #1 BBQ joint in okc imo
