DAMN GOOD BBQ, drinks, and people. The whole reason we ate here was I was taking pictures of a home (I am a real estate photographer) in Burlington and I drove by. The smell of their bbq as I passed by caught my attention. If you can't smell the bbq before you get to a bbq joint it ain't worth stopping in. We tried the ribs and the brisket. The ribs were perfectly delicious. BUT oh lordy was the brisket good - and thank god they did not trim off any of the fat. My only complaint was the collards (which were delicious). I used to live in Georgia and they always cooked collards with country ham. By country ham, I am talking the Southern kind that has it's own particular flavor. I wished a piece of ham would have been in the cup with the rest of the collard liquor. Bluebird is so good I would eat there right now if they were open.

I will make a point to eat here again when I'm in the area, and you should too! Not to be missed!! Delicious smoked meats perfectly prepared, and a variety of sauces to choose from. If you're a Southerner you'll appreciate the collards and other sides that are prepared with a down home flavor. The service was friendly and fast, we chose to eat at the bar because there was a 45 minute wait. This is a popular place so make your reservations well ahead. 😋

Sadly no dine-in due to COVID restrictions. This is was my very first order and very first time trying their food. We got the meal for two people and everything was delicious! Prices were reasonable and food was ready on time. Their brisket is great 😋

Yummy! I liked the 1950s music: Buddy Holly, Hank Williams Jr., Danny and the Juniors, &c. For some reason the mashed potatoes were the best part of our party's meal...? Unexpected. Mediocre collard greens. Can't win 'em all. *shrug* Pleasant staff; we were thanked for visiting by like five separate employees on the way out.

No

Had an amazing BBQ experience there last night. I have 4 smokers at home and make Q at least 4 times a month. Anyone know what wood they use? Smelled like Maple or possibly a hickory apple mix? Do they sell rub? Tasted like rub was injected
