    Rib tips, collard greens and mac n cheese
    Leo N.

    It was okay. This place is strictly takeout. I've been wanting to try them since they opened. I was the only person ordering and I was looking at the menu for ten minutes. The staff was there , two people and they didn't even come out to greet me. This was a no for me. As a noon business, you should interact with your customers, if you're not busy and clearly they were. The rib tips were okay, the collard greens were a little salty for my taste and the smoked Mac n cheese was okay. I doubt that I'll be back here as there are other options locally. I really wanted to like it and give a good review

    Some of the best barbecue I've ever had!!! It's my 4th time here today and trust me I'll be coming back again.

    I was a bit taken aback by how this joint was a combination of a Mexican restaurant plus a barbecue…read morespot. The overall ambiance of this space is alright considering how the only seating is outside and the wait is definitely pretty long. The food itself is actually really delicious. I have to say that the meats were smoked well, had a great deal of flavor, and the sides with the noodles are what really got me wanting to go back again. Who would have thunk rice and noodles go well with smoked barbecue.

    Finally got to try Gee's after months of silent internet creeping…read more I enjoy smoking meats but sometimes, eating other people's smokes just tastes better. And less effort. More sleep. And every smoker has a different method and it's great to try them all. Ordered 2ct of the 2 meats + 2 sides + Gee's pudding. Brisket; got some dry pieces, probably reheated way too many times. Was looking forward to solid brisket but man, disappointment. Beef ribs; felt a bit ripped off with this (see picture). Meat was also dry/overcooked/reheated too much Chicken; hard to mess up. The only moist meat of the plate But sides, pretty darn phenomenal. Potato salad had texture -red onions and pickles and dill -i usually hate dill but this potato salad was done so well. Mac n cheese, probably the best mac n cheese ive had in a long time. Dirty noodles -not a fan of this but my friend enjoyed it. Thin noodles with brisket pieces. Dirty fried rice, why didnt I think of this. Exceptional smoke and I would love a tray of this at parties. Gee's pudding: solid dessert. Thank goodness no nasty bananas in this pudding. No cornbread here -just pre packaged dinner rolls. Picanha and tri tip were sold out -expected since I came on a Sunday evening. I should've visited on a Friday or even Saturday for better smokes/options. But from this experience, Gee's is solid, wouldn't be my first pick but still good if in area.

    I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

    *** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

    Came here with friends for the first time, and with so many good looking options on the menu, we…read morehonestly didn't know what to choose. Thankfully, our waitress had amazing recommendations! The Cucumber Watermelon Lemonade (alcoholic) did not disappoint! Super refreshing and definitely very 'watermelony' lol As for my Loaded Jumbo Sweet Potato with pulled pork... yeah, 'jumbo' is exactly the right word . I had to save the other half for later lol. But I really enjoyed the mix of the sweet potato's sweetness with the savory flavors of everything else. I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu!

When we walked in, there wasn't a host or greeter at the front stand. Instead, the bartender YELLED across the restaurant TWICE to get our attention and then yelled at us again for us to "sit anywhere". I wanted to sit outside to enjoy the summer weather, but after seeing the lack of staff, we sat in direct view of the front desk and general path of travel. Even then we had to repeatedly ask for our drinks. Service was slow, disorganized and the staff just walked around without urgency. I'd love to say the food made it better, but that wasn't the case. The smoked rib tips arrived so dry that they were practically beef jerky. They tasted like they had been reheated in a microwave. Our son ordered wings with buffalo sauce and they came out bone dry without the sauce. We alerted a random waitress because ours was nowhere to be found and she took them back to be coated. It literally took 20 minutes to have them back. I mean, what the heck are the kitchen people doing?!! Lastly, they no longer serve potato salad.... I loved their potato salad! Ugh! Safe to say we will not be returning...ever!

Ata and Mehmet were very friendly and kept the vibes going by making sure we had enough sides - they gave us a heaping bowl of radish paper woohoo! Overall, I'd love to come back. I'd especially love to come back with a large group before 4 PM to get sat immediately. It was awesome! :-) thanks team!

    Came into this restaurant for the second time, and unfortunately the service was horrible again. We…read moredidn't even receive our waters until about 30-40 minutes after being seated, despite asking multiple times. We ordered several items, including a sirloin steak and other meats, and some of our food never even came out. I understand restaurants can get busy, but the lack of attention and communication was very disappointing. We also asked to speak to a manager, only to be told one wasn't available. The waitress apologized and mentioned she had been there since 11am and had a lot going on, which I understand, but customers still deserve proper service. Management should make sure there is enough staff and support so one person isn't overwhelmed, especially in a busy restaurant like this. The only positive part of our experience was the gentleman who stepped in after noticing how frustrated we were. He made sure to check on us and refill our drinks, and the tip was left specifically for him because he was the only one who showed attentiveness and professionalism. Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing, and honestly, if I could receive a refund for the poor service, I gladly would!!
