This is great, I love this place with a very juicy bbq.

We went with high expectations but were met with overpriced cafeteria fare. Not good at all! The decore is thrown together in a MOD sort of way. Very disjointed. No warmth. Seated...

This is Barbecue? 9/10/2003

I must say that I was most disappointed with the food here- It was cold , bland and expensive! I don't know how they can charge what they do in this working class neighborhood! I probably wouldn't go back. There was one good thing though I liked the logo on the restaurant name! more

Over Hyped 7/11/2003

We went with high expectations but were met with overpriced cafeteria fare. Not good at all! The decore is thrown together in a MOD sort of way. Very disjointed. No warmth. Seated at a table with slop all over it. Had to wait for a while for someone to come back and clean it up. If you want BBQ in the area, go to Big Mammas in Pasadena. Pros: Looks Modern, Cool Logo Cons: Cafeteria Food, Over priced more

BEST BBQ in town! 7/11/2003

I am very picky when it comes to barbeque. This place is definitely one of my favorite places to eat! They have a variety of sauces to drench your succulent meats as well as providing a very clean and comfortable environment. The service is prompt and friendly! The prices for their dishes are in the same range as their neighboring restaurants Star cafe and Black Cow Cafe. It's the perfect place to satisfy your BBQ cravings! I highly recommend this place to everyone I know! Pros: clean restaurant, fast service, GREAT FOOD more

Good but overpriced 7/6/2003

I'm a local in Montrose, and we've got some fine restaurants here. Zeke's took over from Gelsinger's Meats (which I guess is still involved in the place), but they've decided to go after a very different crowd. Gelsinger's had wonderful sandwiches that were reasonably priced. Zeke's has good meat (thanks to Gelsinger's), but it's just too expensive. You can go next door to the Black Cow and get a BETTER BBQ sandwich for less money. The two restaurants next door (Star Cafe and Black Cow) are both packed, so we only eat at Zeke's when there's too long a wait at the other places. Zeke's always has tables open. If they reduced prices by about 15%, they'd be more competitive and might end up as our first choice instead of our second. Wish we had our Gelsinger's back, though... Pros: Good food, sauces, attentive wait staff, nice atmosphere Cons: High priced, Little parking more

The REAL DEAL! 3/15/2003

This is REAL Q, folks. Done by professional restauranteurs who treat BBQ as haute cuisine, giving it the respect it deserves. FABULOUS. Their J&R real wood pit prominently positioned in the open kitchen almost assures you of good things to come. This puts the cheese-whiz peddlars like Tony Romas and Love's to shame. Only the beans were weak and only because they are trying too hard to make them too special. Otherwise - AWESOME wood-pit Q!!! Pros: Carolina Pulled Pork, The Baby Backs, The 3 Q sauces Cons: Too Far Away From Me, To Go Everyday, BooHoo more
