Reviews Summary
Podnuh's Bar-B-Q receives praise for its friendly staff, delicious smoked meats like chopped beef and ribs, and flavorful sides such as beans and potato salad. However, some diners have noted inconsistent food quality, with occasional complaints about dry meats or overly fatty brisket, and some find the restaurant's flow confusing.
"Soon as you walk in your serviced with a warm welcoming. The food is fresh . Brisket doesn't have all that fatty, Mac is delicious as well as the turnips has seasoning that u cam actually taste. Ms. Natasha went above and beyond to make our experience special and we will be back to this location. I'm from Southern Louisiana and love the hospitality showed and I can't forget about the sweet tea it almost tops Raising Canes tea 😋"

"Just had the brisket sandwich and it was disgusting. Half of the "brisket" was unchewable fat. Would not recommend. See photo."
