Ordered takeout for lunch and got the Brisket Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and a side of Mac & Cheese. Both items very affordable for the portion. Tried calling but couldn't get ahold of anyone, so I ordered online. Some menu items were missing online compared to the full menu, but the process was easy, and my order was ready and brought out as soon as I arrived - great service! As for the food, the Philly gets a 6/10. The brisket was delicious, but the sandwich itself was a bit underwhelming and the veggies lacked seasoning, and the bun felt a bit too oily for my liking but the quality of the bread was good! The fries were also really tasty! The Mac & Cheese was a hit! 8.5/10 - super flavorful, cheesy, and perfectly cooked pasta. I will be going back to try their BBQ & more Mac! Yum!
Been here twice since they started serving BBQ, and we love their food. Their fried pickles were Delicious along w their sides Mac n cheese and Street corn. We normally get their 2 plate meat and 2 sides- their portions are generous and of course very tasty. Thank you for the wonderful dinners served here
We spotted this hidden "BBQ" restaurant behind all the construction on Cactus and Rainbow. This location had a much loved "country Cafe." Hopefully the owners can live up to the heritage here. I will edit my review later as we only had breakfast and have yet to try the BBQ. Some updates: They have changed their menu to have BBQ available ONLY on the weekends, (hence the banner on the corner off the outlying streets. They have a collaboration with the attached bar next door to serve food when the regular dining area is closed. So this leads to some confusion. The door hours state one thing but the new hours are different. They are open at 11 AM, not 8 AM as advertised. I hope they get this confusion solved. I digress, on to the food. My wife & I ordered breakfast and it was surprisingly good. She had biscuits & gravy and the overall taste was really good, (Much better gravy vs Cracker barrel.) The portion was massive! *They could save a few bucks and not serve so much. I had pancakes & bacon. The pancakes were again massive and delicious. The bacon on the other hand was a fail. It seems they have changed from some premium bacon to what is known as "Rolled bacon in a can." This is what cheapo restaurants serve and it was as thin as paper, (see photo.) Not good. But again, the pancakes were outstanding, (*Served with only sugar free syrup...Strange.) The coffee was "ok" as I am a coffee snob. Could improve. The cook/waiter was delightful and kudos to the owners for hiring him. Ambience was good, clean and well lighted. *We did ask for the TV to be turned off as it was hanging over our heads and was a big distraction. I get what the Owners are trying to do here but the lack of signage and the construction in the lot is a major camouflage for this place. The previous menu had a complete different set of prices and specials. Like all the local restaurants, the vendor prices have risen considerably. However, if the BBQ is really good then the price is a great deal. For now, "Off the hook" is a good place for an after 11 Am lunch or brunch meal. *Before 11 Am you are relegated to dine at the bar next door and as much as this could be a convenience option, the smoke smell at the bar is overwhelming. Nice option, but pass. I am looking forward to trying the signature Tri-tip. If you are local and are on the fence about trying this place, please go there and see for yourself as the food appears to be on the "Better than most" side. *my reviews are unbiased and critical. Honesty is paramount in my reviews.
5 stars for speed, flavor, and mac & cheese magic! Ordered the 3-meat combo to go, and they had it ready so fast I half expected them to have a time machine in the kitchen. Service was top-notch--friendly, efficient, and they didn't judge me for my excitement over barbecue. Now, let's talk meat. The tri-tip? Absolute perfection--so well-seasoned it could've given a TED Talk on flavor. The brisket? A little on the dry side. Sauce wasn't my favorite but it got the job done. And the mac & cheese? Hands down, the MVP of the meal. I don't know what they put in it (probably just cheese and happiness), but I'd come back just for that. Overall, solid BBQ and a great experience. Would definitely return--probably for another round of that mac & cheese.
The Brisket Philly Sandwich was amazing! 10/10. The BBQ plate was good as well. We got Mac N' Cheese and Fries as sides with the Ribs, Sausage and Tri Tip. I loved the Sausage and it had a bit of a kick to it. The service was good and the server was nice and helpful with the menu. The restaurant was clean and decorated for Valentine's Day and very festive. We will be going back for sure.
What a friendly staff! I was greeted right away and I didn't get the young ladies name. She was super sweet. I work all over town, and when I'm in a different area of town, I go to yelp, to see what business are in the area. And I saw this BBQ spot. So, after work, I decided to go and check it out. So I went for the ribs, they also have a happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and they have discounted items. I missed happy hour! So after I ordered, I sat down, and me and the young lady chopped it up! Then, John, the owner came out and we chopped it up. He also let me know it would be a few more minutes. It didn't matter, I was off work, and just heading home. He brought my food to me, and said he made sure it was hot, since we talked about my ride home. (that was so sweet) I really wanted to tear into it, in the car, while it was really hot, but I waited.....But when I got home, you best believe, I tore it up! I forgot to put the BBQ sauce on it. It was tender, and just pulled away from the bone. After I ate 2 of them, I dug, in the bag, and dipped it in the sauce, it really kicked it up a notch. I'm extremely satisfied with the ribs I got. This will be my go-to BBQ spot. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu in the future.
The ambience was cute and very clean! Service was good! Waitress kept our drinks topped off and kept checking on us. Now let's get to the food. My husband order chicken wings w/ fries and I got 3 meat combo w/ Mac n Cheese & Mexican Corn. This allowed us to try different things. Here is our rating: 1. Wings (Hot and Mango Habanero) - 9/10 2. Curly Fries - 9/10 3. Tri Tip - 9/10 4. Brisket - 7/10 5. Chicken thighs - 8/10 6. Mac n Cheese- 7/10 7. Mexican Corn - 7/10 8. BBQ Sauce - 8/10 Overall, the food was good and satisfied craving for BBQ! The portion sizes and prices were decent! I would definitely go back to try other things!
From the moment I walked in the door the customer service was warm, friendly, and inviting. Truly... The customer service alone deserves five stars. I feel good people deserve good things to happen for them. So with that being said, I wish this business all the success in the world for being so awesome. Now, as far as the food goes I enjoyed everything. From the brisket sandwich and curly fries to the freshly made daily upside down cake. My only issue was the fact that the brisket in the brisket sandwich came sliced and my preference is shredded. Next time it 'll remember to request it the way I like it. My only regret is purchasing only one slice of pineapple upside down cake instead of two. But it's OK..... there's always next time.
