    Platter- brisket and ribs  Sides- corn, mac n cheese, fried okra, fries
    Thao T.

    Knocked my SOCKS off! Love this place for bbq. We got 3 plates. All with brisket and ribs. Sides we got were creamy corn, fries, mac n cheese, and coleslaw. Everything else was super duper good! They had an assortment of hot sauces too. Service was great. The place was nice and clean. Love the signs they have up. Will definitely be coming back! One of our top bbq places now.

    Visiting from out of town and looking for a quick bite in the neighborhood. Delicious food, great service. Highly recommend!

    Two meat platter: Brisket and pulled pork with sides of cowboy beans and mac & cheese.

    First visit here, and I was looking forward to the food as I love me some good barbecue. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall and is tiny inside with very limited inside dining. I was here for lunch on Saturday. You order at the counter, which has a video screen above the counter with the menu items. I went with a plate even though it is fairly pricey ($20 Inc tax). One of the nice things about the one item plate is you can cut the 1/2 pound weight of the meat in half and get two different meats at a 1/4 pound each. I went with the pulled pork and the brisket with sides of mac & cheese and cowboy beans. The brisket was flavorful albeit a tad fatty, and it had a very smoky flavor. The pulled pork was served in an unappetizing, looking wadded up ball, but overall had good flavor. They have one barbecue sauce, and it was very average tasting. I didn't find the mac & cheese appetizing at all. It was not creamy, but very oily and I only ate a couple bites of it. On the other hand, the cowboy beans were fantastic! The meal also comes with a few homemade pickles and onions, and they are a very nice pairing with the meal. To sum up my experience, I felt it was good, but not great barbecue. Aside from their awesome cowboy beans and homemade pickle garnish, the rest is forgettable. Only offer one sauce and it's very average. There's virtually no seating inside and the menu is a bit expensive.

    Had lunch there the other day and it was wonderful. I had the brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese as my side. Unique pasta used for the Mac and cheese but it worked very well. Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant they have community seating which enables you to meet your neighbors while you are eating your meal. Had a very wonderful conversation with the couple next to me during my lunch. Stopped by also to set up for the Annual Beaver Toyota and American Legion Post 307 annual Armed Forces BBQ. This a wonderful way to show support for our Military. This BBQ does it right do not miss an opportunity to eat at this restaurant.

    Birra tacos
    Suhana E.

    Food is fantastic! Tried the birra tacos, brisket sandwich, side dish of corn, and banana pudding. Everything is delicious. It's a casual, small restaurant. Service was great. The owner came around asking if we are doing okay and chatted with us.

    Too much junk stacked up all over a tiny restaurant
    Cheryl R.

    I have to say I was a bit put off by the price of this place. A pound of brisket is $28, compared to "CUE" down the street which runs you about 22 a pound. But , the Sliced brisket actually rocks. Very tender, not too fatty and has a wonderful smoked taste. I grabbed a half pound, the barbecue chicken as well , again, very tasty and tender. The cowboy beans are great with lots of meat in them as well. The barbecue sauce has a bit of a bite to it and spicy, which is what I like ,more Texas style .overall I would say this place is really great food, but not a cheap date. Inside is not much of a wow, they really need to do a deep clean on the floor and they have a lot of stuff stacked up everywhere. The inside could use a good deep clean, but I got mine to go and I was pleased. Well, I come back? Yes, but not as often as I would like , Just a little too pricey.

    Is any of the BBQ gluten free? thanks!

    All the meats are gluten free.

    Do the sides have meat in them (collards, beans, corn)?

    Collards, Cowboys, and Chili have meat. Coleslaw, Mac, and Corn do not.

    I've never been before, but I see ribs in the website photos and in the Yelp reviews, but not on any of the menus(website or Yelp menu photos).…

    Not sure if you made it there yet or not but the ribs are still on the menu but they do go quick!

    Are your ribs dry rub? Like Memphis style or St. Louis style? Just trying to find ribs in the area that aren't wet. Thanks!

    They’re cut St. Louis style. Dry rubbed

    So they're only open 15 hours a week? That can't be permanent

    For now, yes. I love my wife and kids more than I love my restaurant. But don’t be fooled, my staff put in 60+ hours/week with catering and restaurant prep. Hope to open for dinner soon. Not in the cards for now.

    I've been here twice now and I'm glad we gave it another shot. I went with my family, and this time…read moreeverything felt a lot better. Our server, Mikayla, was attentive and sweet, and made sure we were good without hovering. I didn't expect such good service because it was super full in there as we went for Easter Brunch . The first time I came, I had a different server and didn't have the best experience, so I was a little unsure about coming back but this visit changed that. I feel a need to mention that the hosts were amazing . There was a older man i did not get his name but i got the girls name, Trinity. She has been there both times i've came and is always welcoming, and helpful, which really sets the tone. The dim lighting and comfortable seating also made the experience even better. Side note: the "Loaded Pancakes" was really good and worth trying. Overall, a much better experience this time around . I'd come back again.

    We came to Homestead for an after-graduation brunch, hoping to celebrate a milestone with a good…read moremeal. There were nine of us--not exactly a tiny table, but hardly the kind of group that should throw a restaurant into chaos. To be fair, we did wait for two people in our party before ordering food. It was probably 20-30 minutes, and we made it very clear to our server that we were waiting. We also weren't just camping out at the table. We started with drinks while we waited, so the restaurant was already making money from our table before the kitchen ever had to cook a single thing. Once everyone arrived, we placed one order together. No staggered tickets, no special requests, no unnecessary complications. The thing is... the restaurant was practically empty. If anything, I would've thought they'd be happy to have a table of nine on a slow brunch. Instead, it felt like we were an inconvenience. Once we finally ordered, it was another 30-plus minutes before much of anything happened. Our waitress wasn't rude, but she also wasn't particularly interested in us being there. She checked the boxes, but just barely. It felt less like hospitality and more like someone waiting for the end of their shift. What made the whole experience even stranger was looking around the restaurant. It wasn't busy, yet several employees seemed to be standing around talking while we sat waiting. During the hour or two we were there, I think only a couple of other parties came through the door. At one point there were two hostesses managing what amounted to a trickle of guests while tables that were already seated waited on drinks, food, and attention. Maybe there's more going on behind the scenes than I could see, but from where we were sitting, it felt less like they needed more people and more like they needed to use the people they already had a little better. Then came the mimosas. These were less mimosas and more "suggestions of citrus." It was basically champagne with a couple thoughts of orange juice. At one point we had to ask for more orange juice just to get it to the legally recognized definition of a mimosa. They tasted like champagne that heard flavored sparkling water was popular and decided to reinvent itself. There was a whole lot of "mim" and not much "osa." At nearly $14 each, I expected something a little more festive and a little less... chemistry experiment. For food, I ordered the Fried Green Tomato Benny: two biscuits, fried green tomatoes, poached eggs, Cholula hollandaise, and fresh fruit. On paper, that's a fantastic brunch. In reality, it was aggressively average. Nothing was quite hot enough. The biscuits had crossed that invisible line between baked and overbaked, where every bite makes you wonder if they're fresh or just committed to the bit. The whole dish felt like it had spent just a few too many minutes waiting for someone to remember it existed. And then there was the fruit. You know the kind of fruit bowl where every piece somehow tastes exactly the same because it's been sitting in the same juice for hours? That's what this was. Cheap melon, tired grapes, and enough pooled juice to ensure every bite shared the same identity crisis. To top it all off, the Benny was around $18, and the mimosas were pushing $14 each. I'm not going to call it a scam because words have meanings. Nobody tricked us. The prices were right there on the menu. We knew exactly what we were doing. We just expected the experience to justify it. On the bright side, the restaurant looks like it was designed by someone who has never met food, but has definitely met Pinterest. And honestly, it shows. Modern farmhouse, soft lighting, curated everything--it nails the aesthetic. Which is great, because you'll have plenty to look at while everything else catches up. It's funny how common this is now: it's easier than ever to make something look finished. You can polish the surface until it feels complete, even when the inside still isn't. Anyway--great aesthetics. The rest feels like it's still figuring itself out.

    I would like to give our server (Parker C.) some advice. Having 5+ years of server experience…read more.. Don't run away from your tables after they order one thing. I understand the rush of tables on a Friday night, and Juneteenth. With that being said, I know Parker would be less busy and overwhelmed if he just stayed at the table for more than 3 seconds.. Then he wouldn't have to run back and fourth so many times for one thing. Stay at the table, ask the table if they need anything else before just running away right after one request is asked. I hate tipping shitty but it feels shitty to get treated like we are going to tip shitty. Give a little bit more time into your tables and you will be surprised how much your tips will improve. Food was great tho!! Back of house seemed to be on their A-game!!!

It's a Friday night, and I was a little nervous that we'd have a long wait. Taylor took my information and put us in for a table, whatever was first available. We went and sat outside for about 4-5 minutes and got the text that our table was ready! We got seated outside towards the back corner and we were greeted by our server Hayley. We passed on alcohol, but asked what today's flatbread was and it was "taco". Every time we come here, I always want to get the shrimp and crab nachos, where they basically put the same exact thing on 12 perfect tortilla chips, served on a wooden platter. It's perfect, it's always delicious and just large enough so we don't get full. For entrees my parents chose the chicken piccata, and the black and blue burger with a side Caesar salad. I chose to go with the flatbread as an entree, and I knew that the onion rings would be very popular. Asked for a side of the avocado cilantro crema to accompany the onion rings. First of all, the onion rings are seasoned so well, with no dipping sauce or ketchup it's still really crunchy and savory. The flatbread was super crispy, topped with black beans, corn, and seasoned grilled chicken. Really flavorful, and not too large for feeling overly stuffed. My mother normally doesn't finish a burger but she did tonight (sharing some with my father), while sharing a few bites with my dad's chicken piccata and his angel hair pasta and capers. All in all, everything is always fantastic here. Hayley was great about making sure we were happy and had our waters topped off, and all things considered, we were in and out of there within an hour and fifteen minutes tops. Thanks to the team here for yet another great meal tonight! We will be back, this was our 4th qualifying visit so I'm up for a free entree next time I show up! Thanks Hayley for a tasty and quick meal tonight. We enjoyed the food and the service immensely.
