  • Food was delicious, and the tea wasn't bitter - I didn't even need to add sugar to the unsweetened tea I ordered. But many of the tables had resident flies. It's coming into summer so that might not be a concern if you visit during cold weather.

  • Well deserving of a 5-star rating in fact I wish there was a 6th star. Very nice little restaurant with some of the best barbecue I've ever had. The waiter asked if I had been here before and when I said no, he said just a minute I'll be right back and brought me a plate with a small piece of every meat they have. Every one of them was delicious which made the choice about what to order that much harder. The easy solution was for me just to come back every night all week and try some of everything. Prices are very fair. Everything I've eaten here has been absolutely delicious.

  • Okay... I had brisket and some ribs from you guys this week and WOW... those were the best dang ribs I’ve ever put in my mouth! I am pretty picky about ribs and Main St BBQ, in my honest opinion, has the best! They don’t even need any sauce!!! The brisket was fantastic too, and oooooohhhh the beans...wonderful! I can’t recommend this place enough!

  • Always crowded their pick up window had a long line. Not enough parking and the flavor it's good. Clean restrooms and visible location. Highly recommended. Their prices are lower than the average barbecue joint. Enjoy!

  • We've been eating here since they opened. The food is always delicious. And the waitstaff are Great! The prices have continued to increase while the portion sizes have decreased. We have been ordering one of their new menu items Country Fried brisket and love it. Today we ordered the same. It came out as 1 large slice. This plate cost 13.99. We inquired with the waitress asking if it changed because it normally has 2 or 3 pieces. We were told that is how it comes now. I'm going to hesitate to come back. Adding breakfast and mimosas are not enough to bring me back to overpay.

  • The brisket and ribs were good. The service was good. The rest was poor. The sweet potatoes fries were cold and raw. The po boy bun was straight out of package, cold n dry. The roll was cold n hard. Deffinetly NOT what I expected from the good reviews.

  • We were out running errands and stopped for lunch. They had the best brisket I have had in a long time. Our server was very nice and recommended the spicy green beans which were so good! Its a very nice place and we were served quickly.

  • The smoked meats are absolutely great! I think the St Louis Ribs are the best of all. I love their special hot sauce. Also, the person who waited our table was excellent too.
