Very good service and a good atmosphere. Plenty of parking with both indoor and outdoor seating. We ate in and there was a lot of take out happening. The sides we had, potato salad and coleslaw were fresh, homemade and very tasty. The beef brisket and rib tasted ok and both kind of dry with not much meat on the beef bone. Unfortunately, we didn't like the flavor of the seasoning on the pork ribs. Overall a decent experience but I think it's once and done for us.

I drive by this spot daily. My son asked for BBQ so I thought I’d give it a shot. Ordered the family meal deal. Feed 4-6. $148 No problem for some good food. Portions were okay. But, none of my food was hot! Except the fries and veggies that I watched being steamed but Not long enough. Didn’t taste done. my son was happy with the portions of fries. It was huge. I watched as they took the chicken out of somewhere which was probably a refrigerator. Put it in the corner of the grill to reheat. The chicken taste was truly amazing but it was not hot, at most warm. The ribs… he took out of a container and cut them up. I watched as he cut off the extra ones that looked 100% better than what was served to me. I thought oh What the heck as long as they taste good? Well, they were hard and kinda dry. The tri tip was pretty good. Kinda bummed that the BBQ sauce was cold and had to come home and reheat. The cornbread… assuming from a BBQ joint would be their best seller? It was super dry and crumbly. Even when adding butter and warming up didn’t help. I see all these reviews with pictures that look amazing, not sure if we were at the same place? At least I can say, I tried it. 😉 Note to staff, a smile goes a long way. The cook looked irritated cause the counter person had to keep asking if he did this and that yet!

it's not great, below average.
The place is decorated in a cool style, old American theme, which is nice.
But there's piles of junk all over the restaurant, a table full of old electrical equipment?
Price are very very high for the quality.
If you don't really have much experience with barbecue food this might be good enough for you.
Really not cooked with much care, consideration or flavor.
Barbecue beef ribs tasted like they've been cooked the day prior, tri-tip was average, no redeeming qualities.
If you want good quality, good value, authentic barbecue food just go over the hill to Central LA.

Haven't been to a restaurant in months due to financial constraints. Wish I'd chosen a different one.
I went in absolutely famished, late afternoon, after a heavy hike. Never been in before. The place itself is what you want from a bbq joint: lighthearted signage in a warm, rustic interior. The man behind the counter was none of those things.
I asked a few questions that seemed to annoy him, one of which was how many came in a half vs full rack of ribs. Six and twelve, he told me, and, without knowing the price of a full rack, veg, and sides, I ordered a full. $60.66 he said right before I tapped. "Oh well, this was an intentional splurge," I told myself.
Took a seat, checked in on my tired legs, and waited.
When I got home, the hot meal hit the spot by nature of its existence, but not to any degree of standard. While the meat did fall off the bone, it did so dryly and without much flavor. The steamed vegetables crunched as if almost raw, with no warmth to them at all. The sweet potato fries were the lone oasis of quality.
Normally, this would be a lesson-learned-never-go-back kind of experience - I never leave reviews - but when I finished the rack the next day, I counted the bones. Ten. I don't know if the guy was having an off day or if I did something to offend him, but for what I paid, this was unacceptable.
I hope it was just an off day, as it seems like a decent, local joint. A man came in while I waited, and the guy behind the counter was friendly enough to him, saying he hadn't seen him since around Thanksgiving. Maybe I did something to offend him after all 🤷♂️

It was a nice place, the decor inside was country, BBQ feeling. We ordered grilled chicken, beef, fries, baked beans, and chili.
The grilled chicken was a good portion and the BBQ sauce was mmmm delicious. The beef could have been slightly larger for the price but it was good too. The issue we had was the fries were overly fried where a lot of them were hard as a rock, the chili was super sour and acidic like they put too much lemon in it that we took a few bites and tossed it. The baked beans tasted fine but they had a mixture of beans like kidney beans and a few others which was odd. If it hadn't been for the over cooked fries, and chili I would give this place a 5 star.
