Food was good...burger was a tad dry though. Not a 5 because i had to wait for over an hour for my order. May have been due to ordering system but after i showed up it still took 30 more minutes and there didn't seem to be any urgency.

Very good, quality food. You, like many bbq places, need to cut the brisket across the grain-- I'm from TX and always amazed when bbq people don't do that.
