Don’t really go to downtown much but had a Saturday off and decided to see what downtown has to offer. I have seen Primetime BBQ on social media and wanted to try it out. I had a hard time making a choice and the girl behind the counter suggested the tri tip sandwich with grilled onions, peppers and provolone cheese. I also tried the beans and mac and cheese. The meat was so tender and almost melted in your mouth this paired with the green peppers and onions made it so delectable. The beans were chile beans but seasoned perfectly and tasted great with the sandwich. The Mac and cheese was a little different but still would get again. I will come back and want to try their Dino rib. The service was fantastic and brought my meal out right away. Has a nice cozy area out front when the pit is and they have a back patio as well. Great place to come hang out. They had Christmas decorations up as well as a Christmas tree out front.

First time stopping in today, and I’m already planning my next visit. I tried the chili beans, mac and cheese, and the hot sausage link, and everything was spot on. Quick heads up: the mac and cheese has some mild spice. I loved it, but it might be a bit much for anyone who doesn’t like spice (my dad definitely couldn’t handle it). The chili beans were way above average, and the sausage was excellent as well.
The vibe here is great. There’s a smaller, cozy back patio and a larger one out front, which was perfect since the weather was nice. Even around 2:00 PM the place was pretty packed, but the service was still solid. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. They called my name for pickup, so just keep an ear out. They also have a full meat market and a huge drink selection. Overall, an A+ experience. I’ll definitely be back to try a sandwich or grab some meat from the market.

Chicken and ribs are a good platter. I also ordered the brisket but it was dry. I like hot Mac and cheese but the heat was a little much and took away from the flavor. I can say the same for the beans. People that work there are great. Good customer service and it’s pretty fast when it comes to getting your order. I’ll be back. Maybe I caught them on an off day for the brisket. I’ll give an update soon.

I came in for lunch and ordered the two entrée plates. I got tri-tip and ribs. It comes with two sides, I ordered chili beans and mac & cheese.
Mac & cheese was delicious, they even throw in some hot links bites so it gives a little spice. The chili beans were pretty good.
I didn’t really care much for the ribs or the tri-tip. They both tasted as if they were yesterday‘s meat that had been cooked yesterday and reheated.
I did order some peach cobbler to go and when I got home that evening, I had it and it was delicious. I hope this was just an off day.

My grandson had the barbecue rib plate and he upgraded side to French fries. He loved the ribs and the fries! He gave me his homemade chili beans because he’s not a bean person. You can tell they are made from scratch. They are so good. I had the tri-tip wrap and it was delicious too. We didn’t know they closed at 6pm we got there at 5:40, and they still served us. We sat out on the patio, and they turned on the heater lamp for us at our table, it was nice sitting outside even though it was dark, but they had it well lit and well heated. We enjoyed the atmosphere, service and the meal was delicious. We will definitely going back.

First time here and the miss who helped us had a good attitude and was happy to help us when we told her it was our first time. Really enjoyed the Mac & Cheese and the ribs were the highlight & they even gave us a sample of two other items on the menu because it was our first time ! Thanks for the experience and good food !
