    GREAT food for a fantastic price. The best mess I've ever come across by far. Unique menu options too. This place is a diamond in the rough!

    BLUF: -Food was good…read more -Price was high. -Packaging of the food for transfer was a total failure. -Customer service was non-existent, they don't care about the customer, they just want paid while putting in the least amount of effort. -I will not use them again. Detailed Review: The food was good. Price was on the higher end, but I was ok with it for the convenience. My issue was the poor manner in which the food was packaged in the cater boxes. The boxes were secured with ratchet straps, and no, we weren't jumping hills or mudding on the way to our event. The ride was as smooth as any average drive would be. When we opened the cater boxes up, the mac-n-cheese container failed, and had dumped all over the food below. Luckily, the baked beans and mashed potatoes were sealed enough to not get the runny man-n-cheese juice in them. I did call to tell The Island BBQ about this, hoping for some understanding and maybe a gesture of good faith in a free dinner coupon or $20 refund for the inconvenience. They didn't care at all! In fact, they thought I was calling to apologize for their cater boxes getting messy. The gravy on the top shelf in the box had a metal pan it sat on so it didn't collapse. When I asked why the other slots didn't get the same metal pan, they said "I try to put them under all the pans, but I was just so busy." They also said "The aluminum pans we buy are just getting thinner and thinner." I did see you can buy metal pans for about $10 a piece to put food in that fit the catering boxes. Maybe buy a bunch of those, charge folks a refundable deposit to ensure they come back with the boxes, and avoid the mess and agitated customers. Or if you just don't want to do the dishes, buy heavier grade aluminum pans. My Uncle also tried discussing this with The Island BBQ when he dropped the catering boxes back off the next day, and they just gave him attitude, grabbed the boxes and walked away around the back of the building.

    Driving by Island BBQ and the smell in the air made me turn around a half.mile down the road. They…read morehad just opened and hour before we got there I got a brisket meal with coleslaw and smoked Mac and cheese and it came to $17 and some change Brisket: 1/5 It was obscenely dry and tasteless.. zero smoke flavor and way overcooked.. no smoke ring no nothing.. it looked polar opposites of what they show on their website plus side it was a fair portion. Mac n cheese: 3/5. It was very cheesy and tastes good with a mild smoked paprika flavor. The noodles were overcooked and soggy Coleslaw: 5/5. The coleslaw was great.. not your typical slaw. Has a nice pepper bite but with a mild sweetness and zing... BBQ Sauce 5/5 The star of the show was the original BBQ sauce.. it was absolutely delicious and clearly homemade... Service and wait time was great, no issues there
