Not sure if I would go back here. I got a meat platter and my brisket was so dry, I had to drink water to get it down. The brisket and fries; however, was really good. The hot sausage link was hot and I really enjoyed that. It was a little tough though. The pulled chicken was smokey and juicy (probably the best on the plate). The spicy fries were not spicy. Definitely wouldn't get those again. The pulled pork bbq sandwich was good. It paired well with the slaw they put on the sandwich.

From the succulent Brisket to the Pit Chicken to the Pork Ribs, you will find perfectly cooked classic examples of southern BBQ with sweet onions and B&B pickles and fresh butter rolls.
Buy the meat by the pound and skip the combo plates with the sides. The meat is the star of the show here, except for the Baked Beans. The Fries were thick and cold perfectly but we're way too salty. Get unsalted ones and add your own.
Most sides were an afterthought. The coleslaw was okay but suffered from being too dry and way too much Black Pepper. The Potato Salad was flavorless and sad.
The staff here was cheery and super helpful. 90% of the seating is outdoors and had an array of picnic benches in a Beer Garden setting.
This was my first visit. I'll be back for the rest of the menu.

4505 Oakland outpost with dog and kid friendly patio setup. Brisket and pulled pork are spectacular.

Friendly folks & Great Ambiance. Great place to come with family and friends. Portions are on the smaller size, but lives up to the BBQ hype.

Finally! BBQ in the Laurel. Great transformation of Glen's. With sizable outside dining and a welcoming vibe, they got it right. The food, well made and oh so tasty. Amazing staff.
