The food we had was great. The meats we tried were BBQ ribs, sausage, brisket and pulled pork. Nothing needed BBQ sauce because it was just that good. I enjoyed the Mexican corn they had my girlfriend didn't care for it as much. The corn bread was good but cool or cold. It needed to be heated. We also had a drink as well an apple and cherry cider, it worked really well with our food. The atmosphere in the restaurant is a rock and roll theme including the music. We found it very different and entertaining. This was an excellent experience, a little bit priceyier but well worth it! A 5 star experience!

All I can say is WOW. Best BBQ I've had in a while. Did a private class that they offer and was able to try their sausage, pulled pork, chicken, ribs and brisket.. Everything was out of the park amazing. Highly recommend! The owners and workers are all so fun and nice. Drinks are so good. Super fun environment to be around.

Rock and roll meets killer barbecue. Everything was on point and amazing. The meat was so good didn't need any sauce. We will be back soon to try more off of the menu we just know to get there early next time.

CCK Rocks! Exciting atmosphere and some fantastic food. I had the New Yorka and a pulled pork tamale. My wife loved her rib tips and fries. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was a true masterpiece. The owner bussed tables and interacted with the guests. I highly recommend it!

Food was excellent. Everything tasted very fresh. Big portions. Great service. Cool atmosphere. For those complaining about high price, I know first hand that it takes many hours to prep and smoke meats. Their prices are not cheap but not out of line for the quality of food. If you want cheap get a McRib.

After driving by and wondering what this place had to offer, I finally went there. The interior is spacious and you don’t feel cramped. The outdoor seating area has long comfy communal tables which can be a mixed blessing when crowded or if you don’t like strangers. The staff had an edge, it was like they dared you not to like them because they have tattoos, drink beer and like rock music. Personally, I don’t get it and their generation didn’t invent any of it - not even the fishnet stockings. But, they were professional and that’s all you can ask. Like most bbq places, the menu and counter are the first thing you see do if you are indecisive, take a step back to decide. I chose the pulled pork with the legacy sauce and it did not disappoint. Tender, flavorful, no huge hunks of fat and every once in a while, a little hint of sugar from the rub. My husband chose the brisket and there was no improving on it. Juicy tender with the right amount of fat. Both were excellent choices. The sides are pretty pricey. The cole slaw was good but the fries are a big hard pass. They are seasoned with a garlic truffle salt? It takes a lot for me to not eat a potato but this was a no-go. The beignets were tasty and served piping hot. There’s a great craft beer selection so we had kolsch and it was great. This is some of the best bbq around and I will be back. It’s gonna break my heart not to have fries but the meat makes it worth the sacrifice.

Just ok experience for me. I was expecting more depth of flavor.... brisket was a bit dry and fatty. Pastrami was pretty good but very fatty. Oysters with bleu cheese and Nashville hot chicken- good but $25 for 6 is a bit much.. be prepared to spend $$$$. Juice not worth the squeeze.

Absolute fire!! We loved this place! Not only is the vibe great and the staff too but the bbq is the best I've had in a longggg time!!! It was hard to choose what to eat because everything sounded great but we ended up with pulled pork, brisket, mac and cheese which was creamy and topped with flaming hot cheetos!!! Aaaaamazing!! The meat was cooked just right with a great smoke taste and no sauce was needed but we did try them just to see (all were tasty). Oh and to top it all off a mini sorbet mojito!! It had such great texture and flavor!!! Yum!! Like key lime pie but with booze!! If you haven't checked out this place you're missing out!! 🖤🤘
