    Stopped in here yesterday as was in the mood for BBQ. Haven't ever really found a go to place for BBQ in the valley, and so was excited to try this place out. Little off the beaten path, but easy enough to find!

    I'm a big brisket fan so I went with that along with a side of Mac & Cheese. The brisket was really good! The mac and cheese was great as well, and the two went together really well.

    This is a great spot, plenty of seating, and helpful staff. Will definitely eat here again when I am crazing some BBQ!

    They were out of EVERY DAMN THING! No collard greens, no beef brisket, no ribs....how do you have a bbq restaurant and run out of ribs by 3 pm?!?!?

    Used to be my go to spot when I visit from Cali...not anymore!!!!

    Great food! Bad business!
    We pre ordered, and paid for, in advance, 10 pounds of pulled chicken... come our Wedding day, no one has the order or any record of it!
    We had the receipt and had to demand that the order be filled! They actually complained and stated that giving it to us would wipe them out of their entire days supply of chicken! Um, too damn bad! We pre ordered and pre paid for it!
    So not only did they not have it, we got yelled at for it! Lol! Finally got the chicken!

    Thank god for RUDY'S TEXAS BBQ, HIGLEY AMD THE 60! They saved the day and took care of the rest of our needs and our reception was a hit!
    We got all the sides of pickles, onions, jalapeños, bread, plates, cutlery, styrofoam cups, napkins!
    Far more and less price than what Honey Bear's offered!
    Sorry Honey Bear's! You Catering just couldn't compare to Rudy's!

    When I first moved to the Valley my roommate took me here and he promised me it was good food. He was right it was good food but the prices are higher than I like. Its a once in a while treat but I could not eat here often. When I asked for extra sauce and I would have paid for it the counter help said the sauce is on the ribs and I said I would like some more and he just walked away. I understand that good help is hard to get so I just walked out with my food. We did purchase over a $100 food to go so I expected better service. I'm not mad I'm just not going to go back. I have found that costco ribs are really good and you can put the sauce you like on them. With the beef ribs there was a lot of fat and I don't eat fat. Like i said it was a treat but not one I'd repeat for in the future.

    Y'all giving Nashville a bad rep! This was nothing like Nashville BBQ- as advertised. I'm from Music City and stopped in for dinner while in town for work. First sign should have been a totally empty restaurant at 6:30pm!!! Tried the brisket and pulled pork. I declined the bread and both meats were served in a paper tray boat and full of oil. Meat tasted microwaved- no smoke flavor- with microwave scalding hot bbq sauce. French fries were crunchy and hot, but unfortunately excessively covered with seasoning salt. I must say the coleslaw was really good. The dining room was very clean. Prices are not bad, probably a good stop for a quick meal, but something you should avoid if you're looking for great, authentic tasting barbecue!
