### 5/5 — Best BBQ ever

*2026-05-03, version 48.1.0*

Don’t bother going anywhere else! The best southern American BBQ…And the prices are very reasonable.

### 3/5 — PLEASE Fix the “use in store” reward button

*2026-04-16, version 48.0.3*

Good app overall but for the love of god please fix the “use reward in store” button. If you accidentally select it (which happens EVERY SINGLE TIME because of where it’s located) it’s completely locked to that and you cannot use it online. This is unbelievably frustrating.

### 5/5 — BRISKET

### 2/5 — Poor service

*2026-03-05, version 47.16.4*

Placed order and got home and found it was missing potato salad, the toppings for a baked potato, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, and utensils. Came back up to the store because they would not answer the phone and waited 10 minutes to get to talk to somebody about the issue.

There’s no way to customize any of the food options, besides typing it in the special instructions…

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just basic menu

*2026-08-18, version 57.0.0*

Needs more simply easy to navigate  menu . Too many suggested items

### 1/5 — Good lord have mercy

*2026-06-08, version 50.0.3*

I had to fill out a back ground check and pee in a cup just to order a pulled pork sandwich on the app.

### 1/5 — Using receipt to get points

*2026-05-13, version 49.1.1*

Almost. Impossible to use App to get points unless you submit a credit card. Not a fan of this App.

### 1/5 — Rewards

*2026-04-04, version 47.17.9*

Didn’t get to use my reward I feel the reward system is a scam

### 1/5 — Sunshine State

*2026-02-25, version 47.14.0*

Why are my fries always cold when I pick up? I then ask for hot fries.

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2026-01-15, version 47.10.0*

Couldn’t find where to put car so wouldn’t take my order until

### 1/5 — App ordering

*2025-12-14, version 47.3.0*

It’s extremely difficult to find exactly what you want to order if you’re not ordering the standard meals.
For example, hamburger with fries, the fries are not anywhere close to the burger, why??  It’s a common combination…

### 1/5 — Charging extra for dressing with your salad

*2025-11-21, version 47.0.1*

0 out of 10.

### 1/5 — Terrible checkout

*2025-11-15, version 47.0.1*

Had to redo Order twice because it makes you download there app to order

### 1/5 — No $5.00 discount.  Bait & Switch with APP

*2025-10-29, version 46.1.26*

They advertise a $5.00 savings on your order if you download & signup with the APP.  I did, I even asked the staff if it would be applied to this order and was told it would.  It was not available.  So I asked manager.  He SAID IT takes 24 hours.  That is bait & switch.
