!! Two parts!! First things first: first impressions. Ordered take out, when my boyfriend brought it back I was so excited. When I opened up the bag I thought something was missing because of how small the containers are. Secondly the taste and cost as well as size I got the small maple burnt ends ($15!!) for the amount I got I really don't think it's worth 15, I know it's a starter and small but I expected more. The collard greens the price is fine for a side ($5) but they are wayyyy too spicy, I like spicy but these are not what I was hoping for or expecting, you get more heat and burn than the taste or the collard greens which makes me sad. Overall. It's not horrible but not at all what I was expecting especially from a 4.1 star rating. The portion was smaller than expected and the collard greens was too spicy ( I've never had spicy collard greens). I am disappointed, it tastes good but yeah. I usually don't leave reviews but like I stated I am disappointed with price and portion.

Another BBQ Place. Nope. Not at all. The food was really good and the service was great. I enjoyed the atmosphere too. Now to the food: The Guacamole is really good just need to add a little salt and pepper. The trio was delish and the baked beans were great. My other side was the potato salad and I'm going to pass on that one. Was the food good? Yes. Was it commercial BBQ - No. Will I return? Yes! Definitely check this place out.

My partner and I went to Brick's Smoked Meats to try it out. We entered and sat at the bar after reading the sign to "seat yourself." After approximately 4-5 mins, our bartender comes around to the bar and greets us. This was less than ideal but not a deal breaker. We order two alcoholic drinks and an appetizer, Buffalo Chicken Dip. A few minutes later we receive our appetizer. Very rough in appearance but overall tasty and good price for the quality and quantity. Several minutes after getting our appetizer, we finally get our drinks. Not great pacing but, at least the drinks tasted okay. Concerning that pacing couldn't be held despite the restaurant being mostly empty on a Friday night. We ordered food through the Key because our bartender stepped away to help other guests. We ordered the brisket platter with Texas caviar and collard greens and a sausage. The food arrived fast but that is the expectation for a place with pre cooked meats and sides. Unfortunately, the sausage was forgotten. We let the food runner know who let our bartender know and they rang it in. The brisket was lacking in flavor. Not tasty and slightly overcooked where it became mealy instead of moist. The Texas caviar was good and the collard greens were simply incredible and the main reason for a 2 star and not a 1 star review. The cornbread the platter comes with was average at best. We got our sausage after a wait and it was undercooked. The pork sausage was bright pink in the middle. Not, curing salt pink. Raw pork pink. We couldn't eat it and kindly requested it be replaced. We failed to take a picture but it looked somewhat cooked on the outer ring and raw pink pork in the middle. Even the bartender agreed with us and wanted to replace it for us at no hesitation. Thank you, bartender. The general manager brings out the new sausage. This is where things got uncomfortable. Rather than the manager apologizing and taking a humble stance, he immediately was defensive, firm with his tone and explained that the sausage is supposed to come in precooked and that it wasn't their fault. He then further went on to say that it's the smoke that causes that pink center. My good Sir, the smoke ring is on the very outside of smoked meats not an undercooked pork center of a sausage. A general manager of a SMOKED MEATS place doesn't know that?? He worded it as if we were uneducated guests who have never had smoked food before. This was very concerning that he would treat guests this way. It's no surprise that his bartender was in the weeds and he failed to help his staff out. Hard to comment on ambience when your restaurant is dead on a Friday evening. TLDR, the greens were amazing, the service inconsistent (also poorly paced) and the manager should maybe consider a different career path rather than attempting to lead a restaurant located in a dilapidated mall.

First, I must say we truly enjoyed the food and service. We went around 430 in the afternoon so it was pretty empty minus a few patrons. The ambience was quiet, which we were happy about because we were able to get a "feel" for the restaurant. Our server Dorothy was amazing and very personable. Actually everyone from the hostess to the bartender was amazing..... So far so good. We ordered and was impressed right off the back! Everything looked amazing and made as I say with love .... It was my bday so the hostess conveyed this to our server Dorothy. They gave me a free dessert to celebrate my day. I chose the brûlée banana pudding which was, chefs kiss. I make a mean banana pudding myself but the touch of lemon I tasted in theirs took it up a notch.... Noted lol We will definitely be back. FYI you can also host a private party there in the dedicate game room area which is closed off. Y'all come check out this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

My mom and I had our meals delivered and they were still pretty fresh even though delivery person didn't tell us when it arrives so sitting outside for a while. She had the regular size nachos and she said they were very tasty although quite spicy due to the jalapeños. I had the pulled brisket with sweet potato fries and collard greens. I thought everything was really good, especially the pulled brisket which was seasoned well and tender. It was very spicy as well and I think that was largely due to the sauce that came with it. I would be open to trying out other entrées from here.

This is a pet peeve of mine from past service industry but it took wayyy too long for our server to greet us. She had been chatting in the back, walked up front and I had even made eye contact not knowing she was our server, and she still had to be told by the other seasoned server that we were her table. Love the look of the inside ambiance but already not a great start. The Mac and cheese bites were dry inside, literally just tasted like plain pasta and the cheese sauce on the side was hardened. My brisket burger was ok, but his pulled pork meal was too dry, fatty, and SMALL portioned for a place that claims Texas everything with high prices to boot.

Great BBQ in the mall. This restaurant is well decorated with high ceilings. I like the dining atmosphere. Very pleasant. The outside has a smoky metal bull with smoke coming out of the nose. The metal bull is actually a smoke BBQ pit. We were here for lunch. The lunch menu is much affordable. We find out there is a happy hours menu too. Their happy hour menu is start from 2 pm to 7 pm daily. The happy hour has $5 cocktails and $5 snack. We order their famous smoked wings. These wings is great smoked flavor. Not mention their marinated sauce, it is taste very delicious. Highly recommended. The main dish is the meat and meat. We have to choose two different meat. We got their house brisket brisket and the St. Louis Rib. The brisket is amazing and the rib meat fall off the bone. This dish also come with two side and we got the kickin collard greens and the state street corn. All side is delicious. Service is good. Food is delicious, and not much of wait for the food to prepare. Quantity of food is good size.

This was a little bit of a drive, but met up with friends and so glad I was able to try this place out! I had a black & bleu salad with steak, it was pretty good...I had them take out the bleu... and had dressing on the side. It was tasty. I'd probably order it again. They also brought us the donuts and I have a sweet tooth so I was excited. But I'm sad to say, it wasn't great. Service was good, we had a nice area for just our group, away from everyone else. They also have outdoor seating, so they are covered with plenty of space to accommodate large and small groups.

My friend and I stopped by for lunch on Monday. When we walked on, we were told we could sit anywhere which was nice. Our server came by promptly and we placed an order for Jalapeño Poppers. So good! Worth every penny. They oozed with flavor. For the entree, I ordered the Pulled Pork Platter which is a good bang for your buck. For about $16 you get 1/2 of pork, plus two sides. The sauces in the table are great compliments to the meal itself. Overall, it was very filling and I personally could have shared my platter. Service was great, restaurant was spotless clean, and the food was a thumbs up! I'll be back.

The bae took me out here for dinner & we both hadn't been here before, but we were both enticed by the prospect of having some great brisket as it can be difficult to find bomb bbq around here. Our waiter, Josh, was very attentive and honest about questions we had about different menu items, which is something we both appreciated. I wish they'd put shrimp on their menu as the shrimp they had on their Bloody Mary was da bomb dot com. Would definitely go for the brisket and smoked wings again, but would pass on their ribs (meat was tough) and cocktails.

This restaurant is located in Brandon Mall, next to Cheesecake Factory and across from PF Changs, and has plenty of parking. We arrived for lunch on a weekday when it wasn't too busy. The service was great from beginning to end. Our server was in training but she was awesome. She was readily available to fill our glasses and give us tips on what to order. She shared her favorites, which she didn't steer us wrong. They had comfortable booth seating and many tables set up for evening dining. We started off with the Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers with chili ranch with cilantro. Just the right touch of firey sweetness. We got the Pulled Pork and Prime Brisket sandwiches with poblano slaw, pickled red onion and pickles, with side of collard greens and pimento Mac n cheese. Can't forget desserts. We got the S'mores and Brulle Banana Pudding, they were tiny so definitely not a sharing dessert but it's sweet an filling enough for one person. Delish! We'll definitely return again. As a matter of fact we are ordering for them to cater next week!!! Definitely a must try!

Top notch service from Elissa, our server! The deviled eggs were very good, I also had the brisket tacos that was filled with brisket and my mom had the cuban sandwich. Its really nice to have a Brick's close by. BBQ at its best. to Amanda and DJ also. You looking for Smoked Bbq- this is the spot.. oh and the sides taste good too

Let's talk about the brisket taco. It doesn't matter if you order it as an appetizer, a meal, or to go.. just don't skip it! Side baked beans will make u question why u never knew about this restaurant! Don't be like me, just order 2 brisket tacos instead of trying to mix match like I did! Ask Sweet MEAGAN, the bartender, to hook u up a refreshing Brick's TEXAN Paloma cocktail (super balance and not too sweet)..oh yeah the meatloaf sliders is also a must!
