Looking for tasty area BBQ? Look no further than HR! Food is spot on, staff is always friendly, and they're always out and about supporting the local community. Five stars!

Not really Texas BBQ (far too pork-centric), some but nowhere near enough smoke (I suspect wood chips & electric smoker)), but tasty all the same. Nice bite on the ribs (pork!). Beans were tasty but lots of bacon flavor (again with the pork!!), and the Texas Toast was a bit thin. But again, all was darn tasty. Needs more beef on the menu, some jalapeño or habanero Mac & Cheese, Dr.Pepper something or other, and a FRITO PIE &/or stuffed tater on the menu! Must try the shoe next time.

The ribs are awful. Fatty. Undercooked. All around disappointed with the meal. I'll spend a few bucks more and drive to Carol Lou's for a better meal and help support the local guy. 

Business response:

BillEmily, I am sorry you were disappointed with our ribs. We have not heard this complaint before and we are always looking for feedback. Thank you for taking time out to let us know how you feel. Could you tell me the date you were at our establishment so I can look into this further?

Have had meals from there twice and the food had been cold, and/or possibly undercooked being it didn't settle correctly with me. 

Business response:

Lori, I'm sorry you had this experience. I messaged you a few days ago to further discuss your visit.
