Editorial Review for Market Bar-B-Que – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
Dark-wood booths, red-checked tablecloths and slabs of ribs served on paper-lined, plastic trays all indicate a true-blue, old-time barbecue joint. Dozens of celebrity photos from 60-plus years in the business line the walls. Tabletop jukeboxes feature retro favorites like Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog." This is manly food, from the heaping portions of pulled pork and chewy ribs and piles of crispy fries to the crunchy coleslaw and syrupy, barbecue baked beans.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Our family went Christmas Eve. Empty. It seemed as though our being there was a great inconvenience to our server. She was rude and inattentive. Our food was cold. Our bill was over $100 for 4. I e-mailed the next day to state our dissatisfaction... no response. Followed-up a week later with another e-mail... no response. I will never go to Market Barbecue again, and would not recommend it to anybody. Absolutely NO customer service.

Pros: None

Cons: Food cold, poor service, no response to complaint, over-priced

Well overpriced average food. Baby back ribs should fall off the bone. We had to use a steak knife to pry and saw them apart. A steak knife! High ratings must have come from people that have not been to a Texas Roadhouse or any restaurant with good ribs. We were quite disappointed with the whole meal. Everything else, but maybe the beans was disappointing for what we paid. We will not return. I got a membership to this site just to be able to warn others not to waste their money here with all the options in the area.

Pros: Service was the closest

Cons: Food, price, atmosphere
