Off The Hook BBQ

Been here twice since they started serving BBQ, and we love their food. Their fried pickles wereDelicious along w their sides Mac n cheese and Street corn. We normally get their 2 plate meat and 2 sides- their portions are generous and of course very tasty.Thank you for the wonderful dinners served here

The Brisket Philly Sandwich was amazing! 10/10. The BBQ plate was good as well. We got Mac N' Cheese and Fries as sides with the Ribs, Sausage and Tri Tip. I loved the Sausage and it had a bit of a kick to it. The service was good and the server was nice and helpful with the menu. The restaurant was clean and decorated for Valentine's Day and very festive. We will be going back for sure.

We went there Friday afternoon around 2:30. We walked in the door. It said please wait to be seated. There's five people in the back sitting in a chair just having a good time. Nobody else was in there not even a hostess to see us somebody in front of back kitchen saw us, but never responded so we left.

Went today at 12:15, waited at the please wait to be seated sign, a girl walked out from the kitchen and right back in. A person as seated at a table and I felt like he might have been a worker, cause he was just sitting on his phone, he never even looked up. There was a table of cops sitting and they had drinks. Waited 5-10 minutes and left since no one seemed interested in helping us.

What a friendly staff! I was greeted right away and I didn't get the young ladies name. She was super sweet. I work all over town, and when I'm in a different area of town, I go to yelp, to see what business are in the area. And I saw this BBQ spot. So, after work, I decided to go and check it out. So I went for the ribs, they also have a happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and they have discounted items. I missed happy hour! So after I ordered, I sat down, and me and the young lady chopped it up! Then, John, the owner came out and we chopped it up. He also let me know it would be a few more minutes. It didn't matter, I was off work, and just heading home. He brought my food to me, and said he made sure it was hot, since we talked about my ride home. (that was so sweet) I really wanted to tear into it, in the car, while it was really hot, but I waited.....But when I got home, you best believe, I tore it up! I forgot to put the BBQ sauce on it. It was tender, and just pulled away from the bone. After I ate 2 of them, I dug, in the bag, and dipped it in the sauce, it really kicked it up a notch. I'm extremely satisfied with the ribs I got. This will be my go-to BBQ spot. I'm looking forward to trying other items on the menu in the future.

The ambience was cute and very clean! Service was good! Waitress kept our drinks topped off and kept checking on us. Now let's get to the food. My husband order chicken wings w/ fries and I got 3 meat combo w/ Mac n Cheese & Mexican Corn. This allowed us to try different things. Here is our rating: 1. Wings (Hot and Mango Habanero) - 9/10 2. Curly Fries - 9/103. Tri Tip - 9/104. Brisket - 7/105. Chicken thighs - 8/106. Mac n Cheese- 7/107. Mexican Corn - 7/108. BBQ Sauce - 8/10Overall, the food was good and satisfied craving for BBQ! The portion sizes and prices were decent! I would definitely go back to try other things!

The food is so good and delicious I rate this place 5 stars. The ribs and pulled pork were fantastic!

After living around the corner for a few years I finally stoped by after getting off work one morning at 8a, after yelps said it was open. I walked to the door and there was a sign saying the lobby was closed and to order at the gaming bar next door. I ordered tri tip and brisket, both bland not much flavor, not much smoked flavor for slow cooking smoked food, the food came out lukewarm, the BBQ sauce was cold out of a fridge and very bland like it was made for an old folks retirement community and reminded me of plain tomato sauce. I think my high school cafeteria from the 90's had better flavor. The Mac and cheese was filling but seemed like cheese sauce from a supermarket poured over boiled noodles, sauce was runny and did not stick to the noodles, not much cheese in it. The Cole slaw was not creamy and I felt like it was a dressing poured over a shredded cabbage mixture then served, the veg was not able to soak up any flavor from the dressing over night. Having my meal in the gaming bar was ok, it was extremely clean inside, was not the greatest due to a guy on a gaming machine smoking so I decided to go and I took home a rack of baby back ribs and used some Kinder's BBQ sauce out of my fridge. The meat was fall off the bone.The bbq had almost no smoke flavor, the sauce is absolutely disappointing. Service was great bartender was very attentive checking up on me, the ambiance of a gaming bar with decently priced drinks. Now I understand why they closed the lobby. Don't think I'll be back, the customer service is great. This place would be perfect in a retirement community, very bland, not much flavor but the bones from the ribs did pull out easy.

We spotted this hidden "BBQ" restaurant behind all the construction on Cactus and Rainbow. This location had a much loved "country Cafe." Hopefully the owners can live up to the heritage here. I will edit my review later as we only had breakfast and have yet to try the BBQ. Some updates: They have changed their menu to have BBQ available ONLY on the weekends, (hence the banner on the corner off the outlying streets. They have a collaboration with the attached bar next door to serve food when the regular dining area is closed. So this leads to some confusion. The door hours state one thing but the new hours are different. They are open at 11 AM, not 8 AM as advertised. I hope they get this confusion solved. I digress, on to the food. My wife & I ordered breakfast and it was surprisingly good. She had biscuits & gravy and the overall taste was really good, (Much better gravy vs Cracker barrel.) The portion was massive! *They could save a few bucks and not serve so much. I had pancakes & bacon. The pancakes were again massive and delicious. The bacon on the other hand was a fail. It seems they have changed from some premium bacon to what is known as "Rolled bacon in a can." This is what cheapo restaurants serve and it was as thin as paper, (see photo.) Not good. But again, the pancakes were outstanding, (*Served with only sugar free syrup...Strange.) The coffee was "ok" as I am a coffee snob. Could improve. The cook/waiter was delightful and kudos to the owners for hiring him. Ambience was good, clean and well lighted. *We did ask for the TV to be turned off as it was hanging over our heads and was a big distraction.I get what the Owners are trying to do here but the lack of signage and the construction in the lot is a major camouflage for this place. The previous menu had a complete different set of prices and specials. Like all the local restaurants, the vendor prices have risen considerably. However, if the BBQ is really good then the price is a great deal. For now, "Off the hook" is a good place for an after 11 Am lunch or brunch meal. *Before 11 Am you are relegated to dine at the bar next door and as much as this could be a convenience option, the smoke smell at the bar is overwhelming. Nice option, but pass. I am looking forward to trying the signature Tri-tip. If you are local and are on the fence about trying this place, please go there and see for yourself as the food appears to be on the "Better than most" side. *my reviews are unbiased and critical. Honesty is paramount in my reviews.

5 stars for speed, flavor, and mac & cheese magic!Ordered the 3-meat combo to go, and they had it ready so fast I half expected them to have a time machine in the kitchen. Service was top-notch--friendly, efficient, and they didn't judge me for my excitement over barbecue.Now, let's talk meat. The tri-tip? Absolute perfection--so well-seasoned it could've given a TED Talk on flavor. The brisket? A little on the dry side. Sauce wasn't my favorite but it got the job done. And the mac & cheese? Hands down, the MVP of the meal. I don't know what they put in it (probably just cheese and happiness), but I'd come back just for that.Overall, solid BBQ and a great experience. Would definitely return--probably for another round of that mac & cheese.
