Gardner's Barbecue Sunset Ave At Westridge Shopping Center

I have dined at Gardner's multiple times in the past few months and have always received excellent food and service. Despite the fact that it takes me over 30 minutes to get there, the experience is well worth it. I love Gardner's!

The barbecue at this restaurant is delicious. The hushpuppies were served hot and tasted great. The Sweet potato Jack was essentially pie filling in a pastry, so it's best to share it with someone to see if you enjoy it. The corn was disappointing as it was tough and tasted more like feed corn than sweet corn. The waitress was friendly and talkative. I have yet to try the peach cobbler.

We waited for about an hour at the drive-thru, and the pickup process was unprofessional. Many items on the menu were not available, and when we finally received our food, the Turkey BBQ was missing.

The portion sizes at this restaurant were disappointing for the price. The crab legs were tiny and the hush puppies were extremely greasy. The staff's lack of attention to detail really reflected in the service and overall dining experience.

This was by far the worst dining experience I've ever had with Gardners. The hush puppies tasted stale and the BBQ sandwich was subpar. I waited in line for 30 minutes only to receive food that was inedible. Unfortunately, they have a no return policy so I couldn't exchange it for something else. I ordered (3) 2-piece dark meals and a BBQ sandwich, along with two lemonades, but ended up with tea instead. When I tried to return it, the doors were locked and there was a long line wrapped around the building.
