The former Pearl’s BBQ employee is best known for his Texas-sized trays of brisket and ribs. Check Instagram for pop-up dates, locations, and times." - Farley Elliott, Mona Holmes

Best Ribs Ever !! Super friendly the minute we walked in, great service. Apart from being full I still got a peach cobbler, don’t regret it at all ! If you stop by don’t forget to get a stamp card because you’ll definitely want to go back after trying it. Thank you for everything, can’t wait to go back ! ❤️

I always get the rib tips and they're delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the Cole Slaw. The first time I had it it was good but the next time it tasted spoiled. Everything else I've had or my husband had it was really good. I would continue to support this establishment. Oh and to mention their bbq sauce is the best sauce I've ever tasted.

No lie I'm from Chicago and I been residing in Cali for a year and I haven't had any good food. I had them for the first time ever @the taste of soul (even though they took forever to take orders they gave everyone in the line complimentary drinks 🤘 which I thought was cool)and I must say the food is FYE🔥.... I'm glad I found a new place to eat💕💕💕

Try th RT's loaded fries. The fries are housemade, and delicious. They're smothered in a generous portion of either pulled pork or beef brisket, housemade bbq sauce, cheese, sour cream, chives.ane fresh jalapeno (if requested). The portion is very generous and enough for two.

The ribs and original sparkling lemonade were amazing.

They accommodated me well. The brisket sandwich was good but had too many tendon parts. For the price it’s still a worth a 2nd try.

I am very unsatisfied after speaking with Ray today , i ordered my food to pick up and i spent 46.26 there i got my food and when i got home i realized my extra side of beans were not there so i called figured it wouldn't be a issue since i couldn't go back same day to pick it up . When i called Ray answered he insisted the beans were in there i told him no it wasn't i felt hounded as if i was lying but he ended up getting my name and said when i come in to just ask for the beans with my next order no issue , about 5 mins later he calls me back and insists that i have the beans because he says he remembers putting them in there . After spending almost 50 dollars there and being hounded as if im lying about beans , i will not be returning i am very upset at this , i will not be back
