Bird Dog BBQ

Fantastic service, good was excellent... I will return very soon... we ordered Turkey, brisket, pulled pork and sausage...

I would say pass.. and go to Rudy's instead. I love supporting local but sometimes the chains get it right. My wife's pulled pork sandwich was dry, usually pulled pork is juicy and a little fatty.. nahhh not here. I asked if I could get sliced brisket instead of chop, lady at the counter said no as she's slicing brisket instead front of us and chopping it up for the order. Honestly, the sides were better than the meat. Bummer.

I was hesitant due to the 3.5 stars. The food was sooooo good and the service was great. I would recommend this to anyone looking for good BBQ.

This isn't my first time here and I'm just extremely disappointed in how my food looks and taste . This is $24 worth of food btw . Which I can respect for a bbq place but for the quality you're getting and for how much it is , this is such bare minimum crap . I feel like this place is a hit or miss and today was insanely a miss . The brisket was so dry and unseasoned . And the sausage might as well have been left to go stale out in the open . Poor excuse for an establishment

Bad. I went in at 12:30 on a Tuesday. Room had one other customer. I ordered brisket and pork spare ribs. Brisket was bland and dry. No bark or sign of a flavorful crust.Pork ribs were thoroughly dried out, tough and over cooked. Dry white bone exposed along the side. One small bite of the rib was enough. I brought my plate to register and said, I think for ribs to be this dry this early in the day, it looks like I'm getting yesterday's old meat. I was offered something else but I lost my appetite for it. They were that bad. I know it's not unusual for a bbq place but it's paper plates and small flimsy cutlery, very annoying.

UPDATE: This place seems to be going down hill right before our eyes. The pulled pork, already dried out from being shredded into sandpaper, now seems to lack any smoke flavor at all. This is a disturbing development. Previously their shredded meat at least had some barbecue flavor but now it doesn't even have that. Does anyone know a good pitmaster looking for work? This place needs help.--SUMMARY: Pretty good, but with some room for improvement.GOOD: Overall great barbecue across the menu. All the meat is flavorful and nicely smoked. Service is friendly. Sides are great.We enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. Sides of okra, slaw, and corn were also good. Everyone who works there is nice, and I can see why this is a favorite lunch spot.MEH: My only real criticism is how the brisket is served. They smoke this wonderful meat, but then shred it to a fine pulp. Would taste so much better sliced. The character of a good brisket comes from the slowly rendered connective tissue, and this is lost when the finished product is finely shredded. However, I will say that unlike other places that make this mistake, Bird Dog somehow maintains the brisket flavor and moisture even through shredding. OVERALL: I really like this place, and it was a nice discovery on moving to Fountain. I will be back to try the rest of the menu. I'll update this review further once I try the chicken, sausage, and other menu items.

Good food, nice set up, they are a bit pricey for what you get, best bbq around here that I've found

Great service and good food. I feel they are a bit different from other bbq restaurants. I like to go to lesser known places that are different.

You can smell the smoke when you drive up. You are greeted immediately and they start making your plate. The pulled pork, brisket, and ribs are just delicious. Their beans are as incredible as their sauces. Lors of seating inside and out on their patio. Always clean and orderly. Their I sweet tea goes so well with their BBQ.

I wanted to like this place, but the food immediately upset my stomach. I almost threw up upon leaving. The food is also outrageously expensive. Over $40 for two people. People seemed friendly. But not a place I would come back to.
