Ordered through Door dash, and what I received was the worst I've ever seen and had. As if they didn't care and probably didn't. I will NEVER order from there again. Full rack of spare ribs, burnt, fell off the bone for sure but not in the good way. So dry that it was falling apart in crumbles, almost like it was yesterday's meat, which probably was! Funny cuz I ordered early for lunch so it should have been hot and fresh.

Little spot on the other side of town, im on the quest for the best BBQ, ive tried several in my two months living in San Jose and this is my number 1 so far! More to go but everything was amazing! Couldn't finish it all. Got the Dino rib and WOW! Also tried the brisket! Amazing job! Cant wait to try more.

I drive 30 mins just to have BBQ here. It's really good and the best bang for your buck when it comes to quality & cost. First time getting the chicken kids meal. Included smoked chicken, Mac & cheese, corn bread & bottle of juice. it's a lot of food for such a small cost about $7, for perspective about the price of a happy meal but with way better ingredients. Also surprised it was a full bottle of juice. I was expecting small carton box juice. I had the brisket bacon hash which was really tasty. From paying for my meal and getting it to my table was less than 10 minutes.

Their menu is confusing…they only do half pound or 1 pound, no quarter. Their brisket takes super dry and doesn’t look like slow cooked. You can see how dry they are from the pictures. Mac and Cheese also not creamy and tastes not good. The only thing that I like is the cornbread. Not recommended.

It was our first time here. We mainly came to try the beef dino rib. This place was busy for a late Sunday morning. I really wanted to try the breakfast items but had to stick to the plan lol. The person who helped me was super nice and friendly. He was recommending one of the breakfast items and told me it was guaranteed to put me in a food coma. I told him I'll try it next time. While I was waiting, the place itself was pretty big on the inside. Parking is a little tough. My husband had to look for parking while I went in to place my to go order. The dino rib was delicious and tender. Mac n cheese and potato salad were solid side items. The lady who gave me my order was eh. I kept asking to make sure I had bbq sauce. She was like yes, even the person helping me asked. I walked out one of the bbq sauce fell out. I got home, and all we had was one small container of bbq sauce. That was annoying. I had 2 dino ribs and all she gave me was 2 mini sauce containers. Luckily, the beef rib didn't need it but come on.
