The corn bread was good & the fries were ok otherwise the pulled pork was borderline nasty with a consistency of boiled or pressure cooked pork & then grilled after that a little to get some char on it. It is more like a pot roast texture & moistness. Im a sucker for good pulled pork & this is not it. Anyone saying this is anywhere near as good as Kansas City or Texas BBQ is out of their mind or just straight up lying. The big chain City BBQ puts this place to shame in a big way. Squeelers In Mooresville is a million & 1 times better. The 5 or 6 different sauces were not that good either but this pork was so "wet" putting sauce on it almost made it soupy, ok that might be stretching it but you get my point. Save your time & eat else where! The reviews are either love it or hate it & I suspect the love it reviews are from the owners cause this is not good food!

After todays visit i will never go back to this location. The other 8 visits had good food and customer service was o.k. but the girl in the drive thru window decided that i was a bother to her after ignoring me sitting there for about four minutes. While walking to the window she made a comment about people using the drive thru. Then as i was ordering my food she decided that rolling her eyes and huffing and puffing was the right thing to do because i had ask to have a pulled pork sandwich with no bun. So therefore i have decided that if they dont want me to come to there restaurant, they dont need my money. I ending up leaving and going to steak and shake across the street and received better customer service. It is really sad because until today i would have recommended this location to my friends. P.S. they hours are 11-3 only and Friday and Saturday 11-9

Ordered ribs and brisket and both of them were horrible. The ribs seemed to have been cooked in a pressure cooker with some salt and pepper. No flavor at all .. The sauces werent great either The brisket was hard and lacked flavor too I really expected these guys to give strong competition to bubbas blues .. The only thing that competes with bubbas is the prices .. plus they dont serve any side dishes with main meals. $22 for a rack of ribs with no sides .. go figure... Oh... and I expected someone to come and speak with us because they were a new restaurant .. thinking they would want to provide good customer service .. but I only saw teenagers working there Ive been to a lot of bbq joints (bubbas, hickory bbq in edinburg, famous daves, and even places in texas) .. this easily takes the last place. Wouldnt go back there again

This place was so great when it first opened, I used to eat there once a week. My favorite thing from the menu was their full chicken combo. I used to love their daily veggies because something different was available every time. Unfortunately, the menu has changed so much, the food is unrecognizable from what it once was. The prices for their food increased, and portion sizes decreased. More annoying than anything is the fact that they open 11-3 except for Friday and Saturday, and they close Mondays. Basically, if you dont go there for lunch, youre probably going to drive there and find it closed. Unless this place changes the quality of their food and service (not to say that their attention was bad to me as a customer, but what Ive said above), and improve their availability, Im not sure how long theyll stay in business.

I wasnt sure about trying this place after seeing a couple of bad reviews but Im glad I did. The smokehouse smell greeted me as soon as I opened the door and I knew Id get a good meal. The cashier was friendly and professional and the menu easy to follow. I tried the pulled pork lunch special and it was delicious. There are several sauces to choose from although the meat was tasty without any. The fries were crisp, hot, and seasoned well. The cornbread was a little heavy but by then I was stuffed anyway. This will definitely be on my list of places to eat the next time Im in the area.

One of the best places to eat in Columbus when youre tired of burgers and pizza. Love love love how they do their brisket. Good variety of bbq sauce. Best damn baked beans and legit mac and cheese. I will say the pulled pork is nothing fancy, but this place is most definitely all about the brisket! I feel like this place is a gem surrounded by a lot of okay restaurants. I hope this community continues to support them.

Looks like the place has seen better days. Lots of flies. Meats were greasy. Ribs were fatty & tough. Corn bread was dry. Sauces seemed half developed. Pulled pork was their best. Salad greens were limp, flat, & warm. Menu was out of date. Bathrooms were dirty, esp mens. Great ambiance, good decorative design. I liked the layout, the set up for sauces, pickles, salad bar, etc. I wanted to love the place.

Hands down the best smoked meat Ive had outside of Gods Country. There is not a meat that guy cooks that isnt bursting with flavor. Its tender as a Hallmark card; moist, not overly salty. Love their salad bar too: corn bread croutons, brilliant! Not a fan of their bbq sauce: love their mustard though. But I wouldnt taint the meat with sauce anyway, it is too good to sauce!

Stopped by at 7 pm on a Friday. Walked in, dismissively told they were closed, and that I should go away. I gather the hand scrawled sign that they are "sold out" trumps the "Open" sign and unlocked doors. Or, you know, the way businesses work; restaurants stock, cook and distribute food during the posted hours, I hear.

One of the best barbecue places I have been to. While visiting Columbus, we stopped here for dinner and tried the pulled pork, brisket and the smoked chicken! All were perfectly done. Decent selection of draught beer as well that go well with barbecue. Great value for money as well. Highly recommended.

My wife is from Memphis and her eyes were dancing as we ate. Im an old Texas boy and the brisket melted in my mouth. So full I couldnt finish everything. Amazing. This is on the date night short list. Its pretty obvious the negative review is from someone who doesnt know BBQ, or works for Bubbas.

Great food , the ribs fell off the bones and you could taste the smoke flavor in every bite ,the sauces are truly unique , the brisket was so juicy and tender it falls apart when you try to pick it up with your fork , Will be spreading the word ,This Food ROCKS !!!!My new favorite place to eat ,

Amazing!! Ive been spoiled by Owensboro, KY BBQ and I was very impressed with the food. I have had pulled pork that was very tough, but not here. Meat was tender and the bourbon blackberry sauce was delightful. Mac & cheese is a two thumbs up. No wifi, but food this good doesnt need it.
