So here’s the thing, I’m new to the neighborhood and drove by here after grocery shopping. I’ve driven a couple of times pass this place and never seen it. Today as I drove by my wife saw this BBQ place and decided we should order lunch to go from here. I was not prepared for how amazing the food was. We ordered the ribs, Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. When I tell you the food was amazing…wow. The ribs were falling off the bone, amazing flavor and sauce. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and flavorful, the sweet potatoes were great, the cornbread was slightly sweet and not too dry. We were given a small free order of baked beans, again, we didn’t order it but OMG…I wish I had ordered a large one. The beans were on point. I’m not sure who cooks all the food but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lord himself helps out and blesses the food before cooking it. I will most definitely be eating here again, especially since it’s only a few minutes away from my house. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. 5 star rating, easy.

The ribs, coleslaw, beans, sweet potatoes, corn bread, AND mac and cheese are sooo good! ❤️
When I picked up my ribs the meat fell right off the bones! They had the right amount of sauce with great flavor.
And their Mac and cheese!!! It might be the BEST that I’ve ever had!!! ????
Ten Stars!!! Definitely going to be new regulars! I’m so glad that I saw it and told my husband to stop! ☺️

This food was so good I ate it before I could take a picture for the review. The ribs were tender the macaroni and cheese was moist and cheesy and the hot link was great. It was affordable and a great value. I only wish they had a spicy bbq sauce. But the sauce was still good.

We used them to cater a 35th anniversary for one of my bosses, he was excited to have something other than pizza. The food was good and hot. I highly recommend this place. Just stop by and order a plate, you won't be disappointed. You can sit and listen to some awesome music why you wait. ENJOY

I'm not a huge BBQ fan but my boyfriend is, and when we moved we noticed 911 BBQ right around the corner and wanted to try. I'm so glad we did, it was delicious! The bf says it's by far the best BBQ he's ever had. He always get a full slab, and I love the brisket. Food is made fresh daily, so if you don't get in early in the day brisket might be sold out. No phone orders, as it's usually just the owner working and he bust his behind. Super friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I'd highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

Consistently good and tender ribs, everything is good here. Perfect smoke flavor with just enough seasoning. The sauce is perfect. I came in early today and now I see why they sell out sometimes. This place is pushing food out like McDonald's. Keep up the good work. Love my cobbler too

First time customers and we'll be back! Everything was delicious! Haven't had barbecue this good in a while. The brisket, ribs and chicken were all tender and falling off the bone! You only get this quality of food in the south; my family is from Louisiana. Hope to see more locations in the future!

911 Barbecue is the best bbq I have ever had - I had a full slab of St. Louis ribs & they were meaty & tender. The sauce was very good with a sweet taste I have never experienced - fries seasoned & delicious. I also had the Mac n cheese - to die for. The meal was served in easy to open containers - really a great idea. I will be back again & again - they also cater. Next time I’m going for the combo - rib tips & links.

I drove past this place for a long time before I finally tried it today and holy Christ I'm angry at myself for waiting. I had the rib tips and damn they were perfect. Tender and loaded with flavor and not drenched in sauce. But, the sauce they did have was fantastic. The baked beans were absolutely outstanding! Not too thick with a pepper kick, I loved them! Moreover, the staff were all incredibly friendly and pleasant. In the short time we were there, they made us feel completely welcome. Finally, the joint was extremely clean. They obviously take great pride in the establishment. They have extremely convenient family or group meals which my family will be getting in the near future.
Do yourself a favor and try this place out! It's small but the best food comes from small kitchens. As I write this, I'm eating my wife's left over ribs living my best life.

I always say if you have to drench your meat on BBQ sauce, then it ain’t good BBQ. This place is NO different. In my mind, great BBQ doesn’t need to hide behind sauce. The meat is the star, right? So let it shine!
I awarded 3 stars because the meat was tender and cooked very nicely and the sides were tasty.
I shall return for the mac & cornbread. And I kinda wanna try the tips, without the sauce of course. ????????♀️
