What Dustin Bennett likes about John and Cook's BBQ:
A different flair of sauce flavor for a good change, more of a chili emphasis, which was unexpected. Unfortunately the ribs and pulled pork were pretty dry, which had me using more sauce that covered most of the flavor. I would love to catch the meat straight out of resting from the smoker for more true taste. The cafe style dining area was quaint and a nice home town feel. Not a full chili inspired BBQ fan, but only... View all feedback.

I didn't have to wait long and the dinner was excellent. The owner was kind as well. It was truly a great place to get Barbecue.

The restaurant offers a unique chili-inspired twist on traditional BBQ, with flavorful sauces that stand out. While some found the ribs and pulled pork to be a bit dry, the true taste of the meat shines through when it's fresh out of the smoker. The cafe-style dining area adds to the quaint, hometown feel. The owner's dedication to their craft and passion for serving delicious food is evident, even when faced with challenging customers. The ribs and pulled pork are highlighted for being juicy and flavorful, with the BBQ sauce adding just the right amount of warmth and spice. Despite some issues with service, the smoked chicken is a must-try, bursting with flavor and sure to satisfy any BBQ craving. Overall, the food is consistently delicious, though some feel that the customer service could be improved to match the quality of the cuisine.

The staff was nice and the food was decent. Lacked the smoke flavor I am accustomed too. Also, a little pricey for the amount of food. Overall, not bad.

What can I saw but this piece of America is missing in the big city! Being a native Texan I might lose my citizenship but it is well worth it.
