I'd never been here before, despite having worked just down the road for years. I was excited to try them, and they had a certain reputation and expectations that preceded them for me, that they easily exceeded when I got there. I only wish it was a tad less expensive, so I could eat there more often. But being that my budget issues are not their fault, I didn't hold this against them. What you get for what you pay is more than adequate, and the flavors are BOMB. I got their smoked chicken bacon ranch sandwich, which is HIGHLY recommended! They have a cute covered outdoor seating area with a rad mural to look at, and the owners were extremely friendly and chatted up their customers!
The reason for 4 stars is because we watched the person handling our food with her mask hanging well below her nose and most of her mouth, while doing lots of heavy breathing and talking to other staff as she was hustling to get the orders out. After 2+ years dealing with covid variants, it just astounds me that so many people still refuse to wear their masks the right way, especially when handling other people's food. 😬

I came in today after work, I ordered a half chicken w/ beans and potatoe salad. The service was extremely fast. The sides were of fair portion size and well flavored. The chicken looked and tasted pretty good.
2 issues that tank my review. Not a drop of BBQ sauce in sight. Chicken was not moist enough on its own, so I sorely missed some sauce.
The 2nd comes from a terrible experience customer service wise. The cashier was pushy and very impolite. Showed a Lack of effort/care in general. Perhaps they were just having a really bad day.
It's unfortunate as this was my first time here and the food itself might draw me back but the experience as a whole was sullied.

$20 for this sandwich. Couldn’t even put napkins in the bag? Paid 5 dollars for a small soda cup. The lady who I assume is the owner was being extremely frustrated and rude to her daughter and the other employee. The other employee was trying to help on the cash register while the lady was making sandwiches. She got rude with him when he said he would stay a few minutes and help. She told him “I’ve got the front and I’ve got the back, just walk away”. There’s no excuse for this. There’s “now hiring” signs in the restaurant, too…. I have a feeling that sign will be there for a very long time. Companies call it a labor shortage… I think it’s a positive-leadership shortage. 0/5 stars if there were the option.

Pork Ribs, Pork Cubes and Dragon Wheel side. The pictures can’t do it justice. I understand we still in a pandemic. But the food was like from a zombie apocalypse. Cubes were stone cold & dry. Ribs were old, dry and hard. The potatoes & veggies was 2 wks old. Yes, I guess it was made by a Caveman. Hate to write bad review, but had high expectations for old establishment. Cheers everyone

This is my first time ordering and I ordered $148 worth of food here. Pick up time was 5:14 pm I get there at 5:20 food isn’t ready. They ran around to let me know they were out of pork ribs, I said ok just refund for those, then they said they were out of pork cubes but had a small portion left they were going to give me free charge (they were going to refund me for those too), Then in the midst of getting my order together they found the pork ribs..which they smothered with bbq sauce. I’m thinking great extra sauce for us to enjoy. As I was waiting he offered me chili or some sort of soup which was nice to make up the fact I was waiting a long time. (Total of 30 mins additional wait time) I finally get home, the pictures are the overcooked hard ribs smothered in bbq sauce (to hide the fact it was old), pork cubes that were hard as rocks, salty old potatoes from the dragon wheel, and they forgot my coleslaw. I called for a refund on coleslaw and told me they were “trying to put it in the books for next time pick up” I said no thanks I won’t be coming back ever. The chicken and potato salad was ok. I’m truly disappointed..coming from Oklahoma/ Texas that this would be awesome bbq.

Delightfully messy and delicious. Everything is home made, even the bread for the sandwiches (which is just the right amount of crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside). Meats melt in your mouth and are full of flavor. Just make sure you get enough napkins

This is the second time I’ve eaten here and the food doesn’t disappoint. What does is the service, this three stars. The attitude towards customers, snide remarks towards fellow employees and arguing amongst employees while waiting for your food set for a bad taste before eating your food. While the food has great flavor it isn’t mouth watering and I can’t say this is a place I’d like to frequent or recommend.

So to be honest I don't think I could fairly rate this place based on my first experience.... my co-worker and I had lunch here, (which is obviously not their customer base) but we had sandwiches, not any of the smoked meat, to be fair, the sandwiches were good.... but not 16 bucks a piece good. Then you include a side and soda it was 24 bucks each for lunch. Now don't get me wrong, I love great food. And I'll pay money for great food. But I just don't see it here. If it was a 16-17 dollar meal I could easily say 4 stars. But what I got for the price just did not impress
