The Barbecue Company Grill and Cafe

I got the ribs and chicken which were both really good. The cornbread and potato salad were good. The issue with this place was it took literally an hour to get our food. They had to retake our tables order and the servers had to be reminded for everything. It was just chaos. When we mentioned the bad service, it was stated «you should have seen us a few weeks ago.» What a shame, good food with horrible service.

Food is consistently good and the ribs here are some of the best I’ve ever had. They’re very lean and perfectly seasoned. The service is very fast and courteous. The Groupon deal for this place is awesome. I’ve been here three times and would definitely return. Try the St. Louis style ribs, they’re out of this world.

Went here for lunch, had the new pork chilies Philly sandwich (cheese steak but with bbq pulled pork) very good combination. give it a try.

Came in for lunch thinking it would be reasonable to get out in less than an hour. Seated quickly, ordered quickly, after an hour waiting for food the waitress came over to tell us the computer screwed up our order. We then watched her go over to the computer and enter it, food came out 10 minutes later. The brisket was over cooked at fatty, and only 2 slices. I’ve been coming here for years and it gets worse each time.

I have been here a few times already after passing it one day while at work, amazing food and decent prices, if you enjoy barbeque this is a place to go!

I gave them a one star rating because of the service. If I was rating the food I would give it four stars. I went in to grab a bite for lunch. I was alone. I was told I could sit at the counter. I prefer to dine at a table and asked that I be seated at one. There were some four tops vacant but the two tops were already occupied. The «hostess» would not seat me at one of the empty four tops. It was the counter or nothing. I chose nothing and left. I guess if you don’t mind being seated at the counter simply because you are a party of one then this place could be for you. I just prefer that I not be treated so rudely simply because I choose to dine alone.

Horrible Service. I came in with a coworker for lunch and we got sat down however no menus given. We waited like 5 – 7 mins before i got a menu and it took 15 minutes before they took our order. Waitress made us aware u get your own drinks, they were out of silverware and mac & cheese ! The food is tasty and good however bass on service alone i give it one star. Food i would say 3.5 to 4 stars.
2^nd time here and ill stick to ordering out.

We’ve been coming here for 2-​years, and the food is always good. Its mostly a lunch place for nearby businesses I think. They just introduced 4 new BBQ sandwiches, and me and a co-​worker both tried different ones. I had a Indiana style pork sandwich, which was great! Reminded me of home.
The price is just $ 3 or $ 4 more than fast food, but oh so much better!

Today was my first time back after a 5 year hiatus. Maybe today was an off day. I used to be a HUGE fan of all their entrees. I was really expecting their well-​known Q. I was sorely disappointed. Had the Big Tex. The brisket could have been stretched across the table. Some parts were super dry. I noticed they had previously cut the brisket and set it aside, then reheated it on the grill. You can’t fool a Q aficionado like me. Sadly as well, their seasoned fries are no longer seasoned like they used to be. Tastes like industrial out of the bag stuff. On a positive note, the soda with ice was cold and refreshing.
To me, they lost their touch somewhere along the way, and a customer.

Overdone brisket. Excellent pop machine. Average sides. Great décor, Good service. Very average food though. Can do better.

Food was pretty good. Had the wing plate with onion strings. It was very busy, but they did good at keeping up. The only negative are the ladies at the register/​front door. They do not greet anyone or try to seat you until asked. Instead they just stand there talking amongst themselves ignoring people coming in the door. Even when people are stacked waiting to be seated, they never engaged a customer until they were asked. I sat and watched this happen each time someone came in. Very strange.

I really really wanted to love this place. I wanted a yummy BBQ place near home that I didn’t have to wait in line forever (Little Miss).
We got take out of the thick sliced brisket plate with mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies and corn bread & the rib tips with sides of sw mac & cheese, blue cheese cole slaw and seasoned fries.
Thick sliced brisket — Icky. I didn’t care for it AT ALL. Tough, flavorless and the gravy with mushrooms on it just wasn’t what I was craving.
Mashed potatoes w/​gravy — okay
veggies — a really strange fake butter taste. Didn’t like.
corn bread — kinda mushy and weird
rib tips — my favorite part of the entire meal. These were yummy.
sw mac & cheese — really spicy. Strange and not very good. Like Kraft with extra liquid and taco seasoning.
blue cheese cole slaw — my second favorite part of the meal. This was really good.
seasoned fries — not my thing but the kids were happy with them.
I really can’t imagine I will go back.
Inside of the resturant is cute and I would recommend dining there instead of pick up like we did.

The meatloaf is as advertised. Great flavor and good portion. Get the cowboy beans and garlic mashed as your sides.

Got seated by one person, another came over and introduced herself as our waitress, another came over and took our order and a completely different one came and gave us the bill??? Wtf?
I ordered the brisket plate for 12 $ with southwest Mac and cheese, beans and cornbread.
I know what you’re thinking when I say I got brisket, nope, not the melt in your mouth deliciously flavored brisket. This was dry and flavorless. The sauce they gave me was apparently for the mashed potatoes I didn’t order ??? The food was semi cold by the time I got it so the Mac and cheese was disgusting and the beans were really good. At the end they asked how it was so I told them and they said oh you should have ordered the brisket that goes on the sandwich that’s what you were wanting… Really? You asked me if this was my first time to which I told you yes and you didn’t bother to tell me that you use two different types of brisket? Options are brisket sandwich and brisket plate, no description of any difference. I had high hopes for great bbq and was very let down.

My first visit to this barbecue joint. I had high hopes based on the rating. I originally came to try the barbecue, but saw the meatloaf special as featured on TV and decided to try it. I really like meatloaf, so I’m a pretty tough critic. First off the presentation was a bit weak. The meatloaf was presented cafeteria style and looked pretty unappealing, but is the taste that counts right? It had a nice chipotle flavor, but the texture was too fine as I prefer my meatloaf to be a bit more chunky. I probably would try the BBQ next time. Likewise I was not overly impressed with the blue cheese coleslaw, cornbread, or spicy cowboy beans either. It was all good, just not great. And for $ 13, I was hoping for more.

My all time favorite place for lunch! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. My favorite is the salsalita chicken salad and chicken BBQ plate. Delicious food and portions are large. I always have to take left overs for dinner. Too much to finish in one meal. Heard their pulled pork burger is a must try. Always going back for more :)

Really good barbeque… Not out of this world barbeque, not southern or KC or Memphis barbeque, but really good. Great work lunch spot!

All you can get rib tips Monday, all you can eat wings on Wednesday, and all you can eat taco Friday. The all you can eat is such a good deal.

I came here for lunch with my coworkers. It was crowded but they were still able to seat us. You still have a waitress to take and deliver your order. For sodas/​water, you need to get it yourself. There is a line but moved relatively quick. I ordered a lunch combo. The meat was a bit tough for me. Seasoning is great. I also ordered a side of corn bread and sweet potato fries. They are both sweet and tasty.
Service is pretty good. Considering how busy they are during lunch hour, they still tried to stop by to check up on you. I’ll come back here again to try their briskets. Overall I think this restaurant is decent.

This is my favorite bbq place in the valley. I’m sure those out there will swear by others and they might be just as good or marginally «better» but this is the place for me. I always get a great meal and the prices are reasonable with friendly staff. Both the original and spicy sauces are fabulous and on the table for your unrestricted enjoyment. The only challenge you might face is parking scarcity and shortened hours with closed weekends. If you can make it, it is well worth it, you won’t be disappointed.

Location is in an industrial area. The staff is very friendly but the food was just ok. Maybe my rating would be better if I’ve never experienced Little Miss BBQ but I have. Look at the pictures from Little Miss’s and the pictures from this place and you can see who wins the eye test. Glad I came here to try but if I’m craving BBQ I know where I’m going. Got 2 meats and 2 sides for about $ 20.

It was OK…
I got a pulled pork sandwich with one side, the SW mac & Cheese… I paid a $ 3 upcharge for more meat… and got a drink, they have the digital soda machine with the flavorings, pretty nice.
Not so impressed to be honest… The pulled pork was both very tough and very very fatty, the bread was stale (tasted a week old, I looked for mold it was so bad) and the SW mac & cheese was not for me, tasted like an experiment a kid made with mac & cheese and some salsa… but hey, the soda was good.
I was really surprised when the total was just short of $ 17.50, with a tip, I’m out $ 20… FOR LUNCH… for a mediocre lunch at that…
I won’t be going back unless I’m a guest at someone else’s expense. If the total were $ 10 out the door, I would have possibly given this place a second chance as every single meal can’t be perfect. But certainly, no second tries at $ 20.
Honestly, McDonald’s quarter pounder with cheese is much more appetizing…

Be careful if they walk around with a pan of cupcakes offering them.
you may think it’s a nice gesture from the restaurant, but if you take one, its $ 2
Totally uncool.

I had lunch at The BBQ company a couple of times now, first time was pretty good, yesterday’s lunch not so good. I had the chicken and ribs, the chicken was pretty good, the ribs tasted old.
When I ordered my two sides I was informed that the salad would be an additional up charge so I opted for the Southwestern mac and cheese. When I got the Southwestern mac and cheese it was really bland and the texture of the macaroni was mushy (yuck), could not eat it. The spicy BBQ sauce was not spicy at all and was hard to tell the difference between the mild.
When I received my bill I noticed that there was a $.50 up charge on the macaroni and cheese that I could not eat. This place is expensive for what you get. My lunch came to $ 21.00 including tip.

I didn’t know about this place until someone works in the area took me here.
I ordered the famous as seen on the travel channel meatloaf. This meatloaf lives up to the reputation. When I arrived, I quickly read several reviews here to decide what to order, but as soon as I opened the menu, I saw this meatloaf and I had to try.
This meatloaf was so good, I am trying to think what meetings can I schedule to make me come to the area… Quite a way from my office, and they only open for lunch, I need to create a meeting in the area to come back here again.
I ordered corn bread, grilled vegetables, and baked beans on the side. All of them were so good, in fact I hadn’t had corn bread in a while, I ended up baking one at home last night.
I also ordered pumpkin spice cupcake. It was so good, ordered one to go.
I can’t wait to come back here and I want to try BBQ next time.

First time at BBQ company. My company ordered the catering.
I had the potato salad, pulled pork and brisket. The salad was good, with a blend of spices, herbs and mayo. The brisket was drenched in BBQ sauce which is not my idea of good brisket. The pulled pork was decent but a little tough. I’m guessing they give their inferior product to take out orders.
For my money, I’ll stick with Texas BBQ House which has incredible brisket.

Pretty darn good BBQ, and actually measures up against the good BBQ places of other cities.
Baked beans aren’t sweet, but has a pop of cinnamon flavor each bite. If you’re expecting the Texan experience, then you might think that the portions are small at first– but it’s definitely a full meal. I had the brisket sandwich and baked beans, which was enough but very slightly on the pricey side at $ 10.75 total.
Great food, and they serve it up quick during the lunch rush which I generally weigh a lot of value to. It shows that the kitchen has it together in the back.

Just happen to be in the area picking up some parts from a vendor for the shop and happened to ask the UPS dude where is a good place to eat. He said check this place out. UPS drivers are the best for food places. A little tricky to find. Located in a light industrial park. Good thing I had my smart phone to ask it for directions.
Got the Dynamite Sandwich with hot links and fries. Also ordered a side of Kentucky Bleu Cheese Coleslaw to check out the flavors. Large portions for a decent price. Food was tasty. Pretty good sized menu with a range of items that differ from most BBQ places. Different types of sauces on the table to choose from depending on what you like.
Service was extremely friendly and helpful. Inside was nice and clean. I hear they have an all you can eat buffet on the first Wednesday of the month for a great price. Looking forward to going back again to try more stuff. Smokin!
