"If I could give it 6 's I definitely would...I saw a video on tik-tok about it and I went as soon as I could...I took my mother and she asked for original bb-q sauce and the owner himself "Javier" whipped her some up real quick. I got the beef rib plate with 2 slices of brisket added and I got exactly what I wanted. Amy our server was awesome and very helpful. She had great recommendations and a positive attitude. Thank you all the staff. I saw a review that mentioned "small portions" and I totally disagree as a matter of fact I couldn't finish my beans or rice and the ribs were huge. I will definitely be a regular here..."

"Great experience during this bbq visit. Great pricing for the delicious meal served and their dessert cheesecake items are legit. I would still prefer a little more meat on my bones, but overall, no complaints, and the service was excellent despite the large crowd."

"There meat game is off the chain. Nice tender juicy. Just what you want in BBQ. There sauce which I believe is in house is sweat very good. The sweet tea was flavored not bad but doesn't beat good ol southern plane sweet tea. Maybe add a touch of mint. I would have given them a 5 star. The only reason they did not. The chips with salsa. Toasted tortilla. Bland and hard as a rock. The salsa I don't know. It was like something you can get at the store. Service was friendly but did not pay attention to my drink either I went half my meal with no drink. But other than that it was the best BBQ meat, I mean smoked to perfection. For a restaurant very good. I will be back with the family for sure. Just change the chips and salsa really."

"Excellent BBQ, we had the brisket plate and the stuffed baked potato, carry out, pictures attached. We thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. Smoker was going and the smell was great. Not that big of a place inside and the menu is mostly limited to BBQ items. If you want BBQ highly recommend Uncle Roy's."
