    Good BBQ.. pulled pork quite good. Long wait for food to arrive,but worth the wait. Update a year later... Ordered family style rib dinner...very fatty, tough meat, slightly dried out.. flavor ok, but if this would not be a good first impression...maybe better to stick with pulled pork. Dropping a star

    Bbq was delicious and the service was just as outstanding. Wish I got the guy’s name who helped us but between him and those amazing fries, we’re definitely going back. Thank you! (Visited 6/10/19 @ 5:30pm)

    Super good pulled pork sandwich and tri tip sandwich. Would get potato salad or coleslaw instead of mac salad. French fries were delicious

    I was just here on 4th of july with my bf passing through headed to santa cruz and decided to stop here. We made our order payed and sat down to wait for our food. As we waited a a lot of people came and they all started to get their food before us. We wondered why our order was taking forever. My bf went to ask and apparently they forgot our order. I usually wouldn't mind but we waited like idiots. We felt racially profiled because we were the only Mexicans out of all white people that got there food and of course they just happend to forgot to make ours even though the cashier wrote down our orders. They didnt say sorry we just asked for our money back and left never will I ever go here again or recommend this place for my Hispanic friends. We headed up north Portola drive and 18th drive to Aloha Island Grille instead and I %100 recommend the food was good the service was great very polite and friendly people there. Not like coles bar-b-q.

    The fixings are wonderful coleslaw is superb. The pork and beans I wonderful also. The beef ribs are very tasty but all I see about that one the pork ribs are really good if you buy some buy extra slab take them home put them in the oven put them on the grill but I'm somewhere and let him cook a while longer this will make them even better than they are in this store
