    What's going on? You used to be on point. My family has been to your establishment 2 weeks in a row and both visits left me questioning my purchases. The first incident left my husband and me feeling pretty embarrassed. We raved about your reg. and jerk tips and convinced family members that your ribs were above the rest. The jerk was not jerking at all. They tasted like perfectly seasoned reg tips. Your reg tips were bland and tough. We were so disappointed. The following week we again attempted to order the jerk tips, thinking that the previous week was just an off day. This time, they weren't jerked nor seasoned. The only saving grace was the sauce. What's happening? Did you change your cooks? It is getting harder and harder to find consistent food.

    This use to be my go to bbq spot, this last time was definitely my last time, they gave me old burnt rib tips, then replaced it with some undercooked rib tips, complete waste of money. NEVER AGAIN

    I ordered jumbo size rib tips Friday. What I received was Rib tips with 80% FAT! We ended up dumping the ribs. I heard about Uncle John's having the best ribs. NOPE !

    The service was poor. When I ordered i asked for them not to hacked up the tips like minced meat and they did. They re dropped chicken wings and the fries were cold. Hot links were just sitting in a basket over grease and not stored properly. And you wonder why they still be raw in the middle. The so called management said everything comes up fresh.. that was a lie. They were half ass passing out orders somebody had someone else order. The sauce was horrible.the health department should shut them down. We are not dogs we are humans who you are charging excessive amounts of money who thought this was decent food. #you feed that garbage to someone else.

    It looks drab in the inside but the rib tips are finger licking good. They know what they're doing on that grill. My "Aquarius" likes the turkey tips. We ate there 2 days in a row. It was so good 🤤🤤
