Martin's BBQ has what you expect from BBQ place -- decent food, okay service, and fun decor.
Brisket and pulled pork were disappointedly mouth-drying, but the sides made up for a lot. There were flavorful hush puppies with little bits of onion inside, satisfyingly fresh coleslaw, and nice, smoky baked beans. Mac 'n cheese wasn't especially notable, and the salad was about what you'd anticipate at a BBQ.
Staff was helpful, but wouldn't call them overly enthusiastic, while the decor on the wall served it's purpose to amuse customers while waiting to order at the counter.
Overall, it's a decent place to eat, but for what is charged for barbecue nowadays, I expected it to "WOW" me a bit, and it just didn't.
We came to this location for ease of parking. You order first, so we decided what we wanted with the great help from the gentleman at the desk. We ordered the Big Brother Sampler with a mix of dry rub and sauced ribs, fries and beans and also the brisket tacos with fries and slaw.
The brisket was perfectly moist, as were the ribs. Super tender and fell off the bone. We enjoyed the sauced more than the dry rub, but the dry rub definitely had good flavour. They had the perfect amount of smoke, not overpowering or too dry on the edges.
The fries were great! Crispy enough and not overly salted. The beans were fantastic with chunks of brisket and bits of jalapeños.
The slaw was very good!! The cabbage was the perfect amount of crunchy and sliced nice and thin, the coating was sweet but not too creamy with the right amount of vinegar- slaw is typically my go to which I’m usually a hard critic on, and I was very impressed with this one!
We also tried a sampler of the side sauces; the ranch/vinegar style was great with the fries, the honey mustard had great sweetness, the hot sauce wasn’t insanely spicy and had sweetness to it, the heat didn’t linger and overpower the food.
Lots of seating and the food gets brought to your table
We would absolutely come here again!
Our first time ever visiting Martin's was on July 21st. We came from KY to go to the zoo and decided to check this place out too! & It was great! We got 2 pulled pork sandwiches and fries & for my kids, they had grilled cheeses and fries. I also got a togo order of a half a rack of ribs mac n cheese and potato salad. The mac and potato salad weren't our favorite, but the BBQ was amazing! I would definitely eat here again. It was less than $60 for all of that food.
