Hello Sweetie BBQ

"Truly awful. I've never included a review that showed me putting the leftovers in my dog's bowl. I'm so disappointed that people actually consider this good let alone edible. This restaurant claims they started out as a jewelry store and then pivoted to food. Maybe time to pivot again! I didn't know that was such bad barbecue in a place like Texas. To start it's not in a great area. The outdoor seating doesn't have a great view. And the indoor is so small and the music so low that it's actually awkward to have a conversation. You can tell everyone in the room can hear you. I think they're actually cooking at two lower temperature. One piece of chicken was clearly undercooked and had the rubbery texture of undercooked chicken. It actually gave me pause to eat it. The pulled pork also had globs of fat And just like the chicken the protein just didn't feel firm as if it was fully cooked. Ribs also had huge chunks of fat as if they didn't cook for long enough or hot enough to render out the fat. The sausage was an absolute joke. How do you serve something that's so obviously overcooked. It's no exaggeration to say it looks like shoe leather. Maybe worse! I'm a chef and if I cook something that doesn't taste good I just throw it out. I would never serve failure. The brisket was so dry it could cause dehydration. You could see it visually. Check out the pictures. I thought this was a misdemeanor in Texas. Sides were all forgettable. Corn didn't have nice bright yellow texture. My daughter didn't finish the mac and cheese a first! Coleslaw was full of mayo. From time to time I eat somewhere so poor that it actually makes my soul angry. I actually went straight from here to jawai Thai downtown to get some pad Thai to erase the poor flavors of this barbecue. I was upset for the rest of the day as I broke up barbecue smoke smells because I had to keep thinking about this place. I fed $50 of leftovers to the dog. See the pic no exaggeration. Please don't ever go here. This could be one of the worst barbecue places in the country. I'll never understand why people open a business to serve a product they're just not good at making."

"This is the second time I have ordered a smoked turkey from this establishment and received a raw turkey. The first time was two years ago and I informed the owner and he made it right by giving me another turkey that was fully cooked. The most recent occurrence was this past Saturday, November 11. When I picked up the turkey, after seeing it, I asked was it all the way cooked as the turkey did not have much color. He stated it was but then went get a thermometer to check the temperature. I tried baking the turkey and it did not taste right so I threw it out. Of note, the little thing that comes in the turkey was still inserted and I hadn’t noticed; once I baked it, it popped out. I attempted to call but they were closed. I will NOT order another turkey from this business."

"I'm very picky about my BBQ and this foodie is always in search of an authentic culinary experience. Hello Sweetie BBQ and More did not disappoint. The BBQ and soulful sides were of the chain great with the perfect blend of pit smoke and spices.The peach cobbler was to die for. I highly recommend Hello Sweetie when you're in the mood for some delightful comfy food in an atmosphere that is warm and friendly. I enjoyed everything I ordered. You simply can't go wrong with whatever you choose to order. I will most definitely return in future as it was a 5⭐ experience."
