I went with my go-to, the traditional mango smoothie with boba, and it was perfect. I also tried the recommended Galaxy Lemonade, which was refreshing. As for the food, both dishes hit the spot. The beef bulgogi was flavorful, and the spicy chicken buldak had a nice kick that built up gradually, it got spicier the more I ate. I'm not sure if you can request spice levels. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They helped me choose a drink. The space was clean, including the bathrooms, and most of the restaurant was accessible. Bonus: there's convenient parking in the back. I'll definitely be back

Brisket - not the best I've had, but definitely good Pork Belly Burnt Ends - delicious! The sticky sweet sauce they come in is amazing. Pulled Pork - good Sausage link - meh Mac & Cheese - better than many places, but I'd probably try a different side next time Tater Tots - sooo good! Texas Twinkie - perfect flavor and jalapeno poppers and not usually my thing Pickles and pickled onions - so good! Pecan pie - took this home to eat later and it was one of the best pies I've ever had The BBQ sauce at a place can make it or break it. I didn't care for the vinegar based one, but their honey bbq sauce is delicious. I appreciated that they gave me a cup of it automatically when I asked for a to go container.

Been coming here since before they had fries on the menu. Last 2 times I've gone they've been out of ribs so I've had to substitute. So I've gotten the burnt ends and a brisket slider. The brisket is decent. Very tender. With the honey sauce it's quite good. The first time I got the burnt ends they were a little fatty to be expected but honestly delicious. But this most recent time I got them I'm talking almost 80% fat. I had a huge chunk of nothing but fat no meat to be seen. I was so unsatisfied I came here to write this review. I also don't like the 1 refill with my sodas before they start charging me for refills Matt's is one of the 3 good spots in the walkable area with barrel and vine and the Mexican spot being the other 2 good spots. Hoping the next time I can update this review for the better but highly disappointed tonight.
