  “My wife and I stopped for lunch today for the first time. They passed the first test for a BBQ joint, I could smell the smoke as I opened the door. I ordered a rib basket and my wife had a pulled pork sandwich. I asked for my ribs to come …”

  “If I could give it zero stars I would first off all the pictures in this website look AI. So everytime I pass thru tarrant I see this restaurant packed so I thought to myself I'm gonna stop and grab by myself a bite to eat must be good for it to be always packed as soon as I get their I see an older man mad walking to his truck got in then we see the waitress coming outside begging to come inside he said no and left thought maybe he just throwing a tantrum so we sit down waitress took our order she came drop my husband and daughters drink she never brought mine which is fine sometimes you forget but waitress never came back so I can ask her for my drink then when she finally did it was probably 30 min later I saw they put our food their so she could pick it up and give to us she never did she waited all her tables food was prepared put it in a cart then drop it off so I was their way before the other tables where their so imagine how cold my food was well I looked passed that my husband was getting a Lil irritated cus it was already 40 min for food which was a bbq sandwich fries a bbq loaded potatoe and a burger well by time we get it my husband's order was wrong he order with a side of French fries he never once got them she brought smash potatoe then took it my bbq potatoe loaded burnt no flavor it didn't have nothing just the potatoe butter the meat and sauce on top which was burn black sauce never seen that and when I try to take a bite their was so many burnt meat as a rock didn't even eat it I was so upset by time we go pay she knows she had made so many mistakes she said for not making fuss you don't have to pay for the drinks what drinks?

  “Second time here. I really wanted to like this place. The atmosphere is pretty great. The place was clean both visits. We weren’t impressed our first time to the point that the man said he wouldn’t come back. Don’t get me wrong, the food isn’t terrible. But for us it was just ok. Our first time there, our young waitress was what made the trip worth coming. She was wicked polite and attentive and had a great memory. I decided to try again for lunch. The lady who waited on me when I got seated was decent. I’m assuming she must have gone on break because the other lady I had wasn’t that good at all and again, the food was just ok. I never judge a place on one visit and I try to never leave negative reviews, but unless this place used to be great and changed here down the line it hen I don’t understand how it has such great reviews. It sure isn’t worth the $.”

  “Friendly folks. Pork has decent smoke flavor. Coleslaw was great and they serve a large portion. Banana pudding was an instant pudding tasted ok I just prefer the custard instead of instant.”

  “This was my very first time eating here. The inside was very spacious, clean and the environment was very inviting. I had the Rib plate with mac & Cheese and greens. The ribs were a just little tough for me and not as tender as I expected …”

  “We had the best meal and the best server! She thanked us multiple times for stopping there. Everyone was so sweet. They were busy but that didn't deter everyone from being friendly. The food came out quickly and was enjoyed by all. Wish we lived closer but a 4 hr drive is too far!”

  “Ken's BBQ has some pretty good BBQ. Highly recommend getting the chopped pork there. The regular barbeque sauce is a split between Memphis and South Carolina style sauce (a slightly thick vinegary sweet sauce). Do get their banana pudding …”
