SAME REVIEW POSTED ON GENERAL LISTING: Thank Que TM for…read morehosting the greatest food related festival I have EVER been to! SUPER organized, great venue, stellar staff, rocking jams, & of course tons of the best Barbeque from all over Texas in one place for me to sample until my heart was content & my gut simply could not handle any more! Definitely WELL WORTH the $80 general admission fee that some folks squawked about! Did they accidentally attend the wrong event?! What I learned this year: 1. If you really want to pay the extra$ for VIP admission & have the advantage of having one hour early admission, than please do - but it is absolutely not necessary. [Sorry TM, I know you want to make the bucks!] Three hrs is PLENTY of time to see, eat, & drink everything in sight. 2. Park at the Hyatt across the street. $6vs$9 [sorry Long Center] & the lot fills up quickly & is no fun trying to leave. 3. A few other reviewers mentioned having to wait in line for the GA time at 1pm. There are so many eager beavers & people are terrified that all the food is going to be gone. NOT the case. Show up at about 1:30, walk right in, & get the party started! 4. Right when you walk in there is a huge line of BBQ stands each handing out samples of their best stuff. The samples are rather large & you will fill up quickly. First three stands, maybe 3 people in line in front of me so no wait. Bam, bam, bam! PACE YOURSELF! And, I think sharing is a great idea. There is another complete line of stands when you walk upstairs. 5. Full bars in several locations, most with very long lines. Go inside upstairs & there is no wait what-so-ever. 6. Don't worry too much about the stands running out of food. There are a total of 25 pits representing, some more popular than others (e.g., line for Franklins was about an hour+ - didn't do it, more on that in a bit & Original Black's was about 20 mins). City Meat Market ran out of everything but sausage an hour in, but I think they were just un-prepared. By the time I made my way upstairs, La Barbecue had run out, but it was about 20 minutes before the festival ended - my bad. Unless you are a National Food Eating Champion you will not be able to make your way thrU all 25 joints. 7. There is ample seating throughout; however, you probably won't feel the need. Part of the adventure is to just walk around, explore, indulge, chat, collect some free swag, etc. Go with the flow! 8. No icky port-o-pots! Two restrooms inside building. Cool, clean, & no lines-even the ladies-gasp! 9. I took two koozies with over-the-neck straps on them. Must have accessory=two free hands! Bring a tote to put all of your goodies in. They supply a small paper sack, but it's not big enough. 10. At the end of the festival, if vendors have any meat left they won't sell it to you...but they will GIVE IT YOU! Where to start? How about where I bee lined it to? Louie Mueller's out of Taylor, TX. By far The Best Brisket out of all that I tried! Yes, even better than Franklins - remember, I said I'd get to that - I will. The prefect rub, not too salty or peppery, fantastic flavor, great smoke ring, & so melt in my mouth perfection! Original Black's was the only place I got a rib from..tear right off the bone perfection. Great Q & some of the nicest folks you will ever meat...I mean meet. Thanks for gifting me a bottle of signature Hot Sauce! Lockhart Smokehouse cooked up a whole cow head & rack of lamb. What a treat! Finally onto Franklins. Shamefully, I have never done the get to Franklins at 6 a.m. & stand in line for 7 hrs to get the famous (you have heard of it right?) Q. The festival had ended so we began to leave, I glanced over & saw there were still people standing around Franklins. I told my husband "let's just walk down & see if they have any scraps left." WOW! There were actually about a dozen (not 5,000) people in line getting trays of samples-brisket, pulled pork, & turkey. Could not have been more thrilled! Finally got to try Franklins & waited 3 minutes! How could this get any better? I said the word turkey out loud &...slam! AN ENTIRE SMOKED TURKEY BREAST wrapped in foil pulled right off the heat pit & into my hands! Then we were each given two overflowing containers of both brisket & pulled pork. AND the gal around the corner asked "Would you like that to go?" "Uh huh...yes, please." We went home w/just under 7 lbs of Franklins greatness after no wait & absolutely for free! After all of my Q quests I will say Franklin offers superb brisket, moist turkey, & fantastic pulled pork! The best EVER? No. But certainly at the top of the list! I'm probably going to shot walking down the street. No, really, please don't. Yeah, lil hype surrounding Franklins, but Aaron truly does have the craft down pat & is a truly sweet guy to boot! THANK YOU SO MUCH! There can't possibly be anything else to say-most people who started reading this probably gave up a long time ago- except to say that I will be back next year!

Before writing this review I called ggc production about my horrible experience at my wedding…read morereception. I never even got an apology from the boss (Greg) and he pretty much said my story didn't "match up" and there would be no refund. (Which I never even asked for) I hired ggc productions to dj my wedding. we filled out all the paperwork online for the ceremony and reception. The dj still asked me about reception grand entrance after filling everything out so I copied and pasted the same exact wedding party introduction I sent to my coordinators. I thought I was in good hands. My ceremony went smoothly. My reception was horrible. The dj (dj Reece) forgot to call about 5 people and started to call out the bride and groom. He also mixed a couple of the bridesmaids up. My coordinators had to run over and tell him he missed so many people. The reception entrance was totally screwed up! The dj came and apologized after so I let it go. Many of my family and friends the next day told me the dj was drunk and was taking shots. Guests also saw him pouring himself a shot. Then I hear from other guests that my dj was drunk or they saw him drinking. I was pretty upset how things happened after spending $950!! And also tipping the dj!!! After explaining all this to Greg, he never once apologized And said he needed more information. Greg then called me thinking I was the coordinator and said "the brides story doesn't match up" pretty much making me feel like I was lying. I told him I am the bride, then he studdered and told me how couldn't talk anymore cause he had to pick up his kid. Greg called my videographer, photographer, and coordinators to get their story. He told me they never saw the dj go to the bar and made me feel like a liar. Why didn't he ask to speak to the bartender who was actually at the bar? He spoke to everyone who were way too busy working at the reception to even notice if the dj was drinking. I never even noticed the dj was drinking myself. This is what other people saw. Well then I messaged the bartender asking if they saw the dj drinking or if he came to the bar. They stated they saw him taking 3 shots on the job and went to the bar. And poured a shot at the end of the night. Then saw a beer can fall out of his car. He just looked at the beer can and ran it over as he left. The bartender said the dj seemed odd and definitely didn't act sober. I'm really heartbroken how the reception went after workin so hard to try and plan it out. I only have a wedding once. I was also so embarrassed that my family and guest had to witness the dj taking shots after messing up the reception grand entrance. I honestly wouldn't care if he drank but the fact that he lied about it is upsetting. He said all he had was an energy drink, which is a lie . Own up to your mistakes!! The dj and Greg just made excuses for every mistake and lied. The dj did however, play good music during the reception and had people dancing. He provided extra lighting and the ceremony went smoothly. My coordinators said he was helpful with extra lighting and provided a generator. That I'm grateful for. I would never recommend a loved one or friend to hire for a wedding because that only happens once and I hope they ware able to learn from this. Maybe for a party or event. And horrible customer care after I called ggc production to tell them what happened. I never write bad reviews but this time I just had to because how bad of service I received from Greg. He never owned up to the dj's mistake and made excuses for everything that went wrong. Here are messages from my bartender stating they did in fact see the dj drinking and here is Greg's "apology" email stating the dj only had an energy drink. Horrible experience overall!!! I wasn't trying to get a refund at all. So I don't even know why he said he wouldn't issue me a refund. I would rather them give a decent apology and own up to the mistakes and try and make it right. I even tipped the dj after everything that happened so I'm not here to complain just to get a refund. My wedding only happens once and I would never wish this upon another bride.

The St. Patrick's Day Festival at Domain Northside was touted to be largest citywide celebration…read more I am not sure if that was true, however, there were a lot of folks there celebrating. It had all the requisite elements of a St. Patrick's Day celebration - Irish flair, and a lively crowd. The festival covered a good portion of Rock Rose Avenue. The festival transformed the area into a sea of St. Patrick's Day patrons - green tops, green pants, green accessories and of course, green beer. A live band was the focal point of the celebration playing country to rock and roll to popular music. One of the festival's appealing points was its large scale and enthusiastic crowd. Multiple bars and venues participated with the festival. Live music and bagpipes drew you in from one end of the festival to the other. While the festival started at 8 am and last to 10 pm, we arrived at 9 pm. The festival was $20 not matter what time you arrived. Going forward, they should consider sliding scale pricing. Overall, a fun event...
