Reviews Chive Cafe

Had no idea it existed, until this morning. So glad we stopped in! I had the brisket sandwich, my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Cowboy beans and corn bread as sides. Holy moly, absolutely fantastic up and down! Moist, fall-apart meat with their sauce having a sweet-smokey tang with a touch of heat. The corn bread was sweet and flavorful, not dry. The cowboy beans have shredded brisket in them.. Absolutely Tremendous. Great smoke-to-sweet-to-salt ratio on everything. Corn bread crumbled over the beans is where it's at!. My only hope is that they partner with a local bakery or something for their rolls. That was the only tarnish on an otherwise FLAWLESS MEAL. Highly recommend! Best BBQ for miles! We will be going back and I plan on telling everyone I know about this place.

I cannot speak highly enough of the food at this establishment! Everything is delicious. From the creamy mac and cheese to the savory brisquet cheesesteak, it's all top notch! The owner Tom is also arguably the kindest and most welcoming person I have ever met!

Holy Que is a local gem putting out top-tier Central TX BBQ in Bucks County. Brisket is king and they execute theirs well. They are clearly using high-quality briskets to start, and do a great job balancing bark, smoke flavor, and fat render to achieve something truly special. Ribs and sausage were also very good and don’t sleep on those Saturday beef ribs! Haven’t had all the sides yet, because we always fill up on the Mac n’ cheese and cornbread which are both killer! The place itself has a solid vibe - yes it is small, but there is ample seating (inside and out) and a great place to take the kiddos if you have little ones. The staff has always been A+ from front to back. We’re thankful to have them close, but if you’re looking for some of the best BBQ around, run don’t walk!

Pulled pork and brisket were good! The beans were some of the best beans we’ve ever had. I really didn’t like the Mac and cheese because it tastes like it has goat cheese in it and I’m not a fan of goat cheese 🥲 but it was very creamy!

We enjoyed a bit of everything: ribs, pulled pork, brisket, mac n cheese and corn bread. I loved the basic salt and pepper rub, adding their sauce as desired. (Their sauce is good with a nice little bite.) Enjoyed all the meats - ribs were a little fatty. Mac was good but sauce thin. Staff was terrific! Recommended.

I heard about this place when it was opening and then totally forgot about it. I remembered the name and I'm so HAPPY it's just 20 or so minutes away! And for a restaurant to be able to open and survive though the pandemic is saying a lot about what lies within! I was very excited about all of the reviews I had read that I couldn't wait to taste it. The reviews and photos can't give you any sense of the atmosphere, (even though I did take out) of the music you hear walking to the door, and the incredible smell! I had a hard time on my drive home because I couldn't wait to dig in! I got a 3 meat plate with cider slaw - ribs, pulled pork and turkey. (My husband got turkey and brisket with beans and slaw.)I didn't even touch the sauce! The slaw was perfect, light and not too sweet. I always read reviews, but don't take the time much to write them myself, so I'm always very grateful for those what do. I called first, got all of my questions answered and ordered online. I have health issues, so I was very happy that the very upbeat employee said that they don't wear masks. I have yet to dine in anywhere since prior to 2020 - not even outdoors. That's the only comment I would make is to update the health and safety section on the website and in the question section. But I did call and say I had health issues and dietary questions and she was very upfront which I appreciated. I wore my N95 mask and it wasn't crowded when I picked up my food. I'm also gluten free and grain free, so my side options are limited, but with the slaw and the meat and the pickled red onion which no one even talks about - I was more than happy - even if I can't eat the Mac and cheese, cornbread, etc. The red onion goes so well with any bite of meat - it's incredible! I wish I had more! I highly recommend (I've already shared with friends and family)! And perhaps when the weather warms up some, we will dine outdoors. But I will definitely return before then!

Awesome meal! Really enjoyed everything I tried - I recommend getting the brisket cheesesteak… sandwich is out of this world!

Was our last hope to be able find something to eat without waiting for over an hour like the rest of peddler village restaurants. Got here and I think we were more so happy with our visit to this place, no lines and the food was phenomenal tasty. Happy customers here

If I could give a 6-star rating I would. This place is so simple - they smoke a ton of meat, and sell it until it’s all gone. It’s not the fanciest looking place, the outdoor seating is simple and basic. But you don’t go for the comfort or the view…the food is absolutely amazing. Especially the brisket, my oh my oh my, why haven’t I been here before!? Go eat here immediately.
