BBQ is very average. Service is sub par. I've been to Embers about 5 times over the last year. The BBQ is okay, if you want a quick fix. The ribs are consistently dry, and the brisket is always served cubed with BBQ sauce mixed in. Not the traditional slices, so it's hard to tell the actually quality of the meat. Pulled pork is good. The establishment is very clean. I wanted to give it a 3 star because that would be fair, however, the service needs work. Regardless of who has been at the counter, it appears that they are being inconvenienced by taking your order. I've barely had so much as a thank you. A lot of restaurants downtown are hyped up because of their location. This is one of them. I truly hope they do better because there aren't many BBQ establishments close by.

Pretty good for small town bbq! Their pulled pork sandwich was reallly juicy and flavorful - got slaw on top and it was delicious. Their brisket sandwich was less good in my opinion - a bit tough and dry. For sides I shared sweet potato fries and fried okra - both were good but the fried okra dipped in ranch was tasty asf! They only offer one table side bbq sauce which was a sweet vinegar based sauce that I really enjoyed. Food came out quickly. Definitely recommend! PS they have a decent variety of food on the menu but don't have sausages here yet.

Pretty decent BBQ. Long wait time though. I would have preferred the brisket to be served without sauce so I could put my own sauce on it if I wanted it.

In on a Saturday at 3 for an early dinner.33 miles, one way, to check them out.Not busy.Order at counter and they will bring your order.Menu is a big board behind the register.ORDERED:1/2 rack of Saint Louis cut pork ribs. $13.49Came with 1 side (baked beans) and a small corn bread.Ribs came out of a warmer and were dry and small.Also, NOT HOT but just warm. Beans were OK.Iced Tea (serve your self) $2.10 with refills.I wanted to try their brisket. Got 1/2lb to go $11.50They said it was CHOPPED but it was cut into CUBES.Flat and point together and sauced.Things were OK but tooooo far to go back.

The food was incredible! We had pulled pork, cornbread, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, and a quesadilla. The service is super friendly and fast. There is inside seating and a nice covered patio. They are also dog friendly! Water and treats for the dogs. We come here regularly and they never disappoint! Highly recommend.

I'm pretty pleased with this small BBQ outfit. They serve pulled chicken that's WAY better than Stamey's (it had FLAVOR!) and the sides are served with ample portions. A platter is a good value (one fat side plus a nice lil' corn muffin) for $11.49. My daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger and my wife was a fan of the brisket. There's a choice of one bbq sauce here, apparently, and that's fine, because sometimes I don't want to be overwhelmed by 10 choices of BBQ sauce. The one sauce they have is pretty good, too.

Really good food--and a lot of it. I got 3 tacos (pork and chicken) and it was more than I could eat. The hush puppies were the best I've ever had. It's a nice little shop where they work really hard to produce some delicious smoked meats!
