Will L.Will Longhini: Order the platter, you get more meat and you're going to order at least one side anyway. I recommend the brisket and you can't go wrong with any of the sauces. Heads up, the lemonade isn't very sweet.

Andre W.Andre Williams: Awesome BBQ as you have options of the following flavors: Kansas City BBQ, Memphis BBQ, North & South Carolina BBQ and Chicago BBQ in the form of pulled pork or brisket

WillWill: Don't be discouraged by the simple menu. The brisket sandwich with Chicago sauce is amazing. All of the sides are very good, but keep in mind that your eyes could be bigger than your stomach.

Amy G.Amy Guth: The ribs are easily some of the best I've eaten, and the kobe brisket is the bomb-diggity. But, don't skip the shaved ice mint julep or the braised collard greens-- both are just right.

Stevie C.Stevie C.: They have bottomless mimosas here. I WILL be back for brunch. Oh, and the brisket sandwich is amazing but the baby back ribs are life changing.

Edith T.Edith Tavera: The Kobe Brisket sandwich is tender and delicious. Service is great but the cornbread is a little grittier and drier than I am accustomed to.

Consta K.Consta K: Sliced brisket, sliced turkey breast. They don't have salad though.

John W.John Wildes: I think hands down the chopped brisket is the best thing they offer here. Great portion size, great texture and enough burnt end to add that hit of additional flavor. Not fatty, great value.

ISC C.ISC Chicago: Brisket was a bit too fatty
