Excellent BBQ!!! Perfectly charred edges, slaw was dope, Mac n Cheese extra extra cheesy. The set is nice, you pay and order off of a simple blackboard menu. Everything is set at the table , so when your done u just leave....Very nice patio, byob.

I’m not a bbq fan but I’ve made it a point to try bbq joints suggested. From Montgomery Inn to bbq in Memphis, TN. All have paled in comparison to the bbq at Eli’s! They made me love bbq and I won’t get it from anywhere else! Amazing food, service, and environment!
