If you want the real thing, this is it. Definitely going back.

Luckily, my younger brother turned me on to Bludso's recently and we just finished a family lunch there. Since they only serve their sandwiches on weekdays, we opted for Fried Okra, "2 Meats 2 Sides"(chicken and brisket), two sandwich buns. At the suggestion of our server, Beto, we added an extra quarter pound of sliced brisket. Beto really knows what he's doing... and because of him it was a perfectly satisfying amount of food for the three of us. He definitely went above and beyond. We're looking forward to heading there on one of the next weekdays our teenager has off to try their sandwiches.

WOW! That might be worth the trip by itself. If you're looking for good BBQ and great service, give this place a try. I'd definitely recommend it, and I'll be coming back!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!…read more When the employee lured us in, she said to go to the counter inside and wait for someone to seat us. There were several employees that saw us just standing there, but we still waited there for 5 mins before someone told the girl from outside to take us to our table. We were finally seated. Then guy who told the girl to seat us was just standing around d chit chatting with another employees for about 15 minutes before he even came to our table. He never even introduce himself. He just took our order. Another 20 mins came by before our food was served. OUR FOOD WAS ROOM TEMPERATURE. Short Rib was ok. The macaroni was stale and OLD! It was dry and not fresh! We asked for extra BBQ sauce and that didn't arrive for another 15 mins. We had to wave down another employee to try to get the sauce to us. I wouldn't recommend this place! Horrible service. Didn't even come around to see if we needed anything or if everything was good or not. We came here around 1:30pm on 3/16. The restroom was also out of paper towels and soap from the soda dispenser. Poor quality food! Glad I tried it, so I know to not come back again!

Wednesday worker plate Pork ribs…read moreBrisket Cornbread To preface this review, I ordered takeout and ate the food roughly 1 hour after and was slightly cold. The Wednesday worker plate had an assortment of meats and a chunk of cornbread, which I thought was a good way to try some of their various offerings. The barbecue chicken consisted of a leg and a wing piece, which i thought was overall fine. The shredded pork was well seasoned and moist, and the hot link pieces were very flavorful. The beef adobo was my favorite as it had a very deep and rich coconut flavor that complimented the meat. The pork ribs were very tender and juicy and had a good meaty pork flavor. The brisket was also good too. Both these meats reheated well later in the day and was still tasty! The cornbread was also exceptional and eating it, I felt it was more like a dessert but also worked well between bites. The cornbread was moist more cakey, and had a very deep sweet coconut flavor. This is the standout. Overall delicious and recommend!

I usually go with the Angus beef rib (soy tare) and toro beef (soy tare), and the combo comes with rice, salad, and miso soup. At $15.95 (before tax), it's a great value for two meat options. Another thing I like -- though it might not be for everyone -- is that you get to cook your own meat. I prefer my meat done a certain way, so it's nice having that control, and everyone can cook it to their own preference. One downside is that service can be slow during lunch hours, as they often seem understaffed.

So, relatives came to town specifically asking for ribs and brisket so I rolled over there. There were about six people waiting and I saw it was cash only, so I decided to be efficient rather than perturbed. I went to the ATM, came back and placed and paid for my small tray, ran an errand for my upcoming guests and came back. Perfect timing - when I got back my order was hot and steamy. As were those hot links! Whew! Everything was succulent, except that I found the chicken to be a touch dry. And for a tray for 6-8 people, how about containers of potato salad and beans? Those were about 2 cups each. You know y'all just got those sides in bulk at Costco. Anyways the sauce had the complexity of a family recipe covering the smoked meats to perfection. More than enough meat! That young girl who served me was a sweetheart. Keep doing you, Woody's. Never change.

I came here just to try the burger as I've been addicted to trying new places recently, and this was definitely unique.

It seemed like they tried to hide it by covering it in sauce. Too much sauce - I ended up washing off the sauce on some links because it was ridiculous. IT also tasted too much of vinegar. Cornbread was very old and so dry. They also gave me beans when I asked for greens. Beans were good but I didn't ask for them. Ended up throwing one of the meals out, it was all fat. Tossed a few of the pork ribs in the trash. They were too tough to chew. What a mess. I only eat bbq a few times a year and I'm annoyed that i wasted money here. Will not be back.
