"The sausage had great spice and flavor. The meat was incredibly moist with good snap, and the pockets of cheese provided a good creamy counterpoint. While the baby backs aren't done in a traditional fashion, the combination of sticky sweetness in the rub along with the spicy glaze made for some addictive ribs. Brisket retains the signature moistness but provides a much greater smoky flavor which compliments the black pepper rub."

"Big, meaty slabs of pork with quarter-inch bands of rich smoke flavoring. They are juicy and melt-in-your-mouth tender. State of the art. The ribs are big and lean enough to make them palatable without losing richness. The brisket is very juicy. Opie's sauce is tart, vinegary, and light. Opie's is a carnivore's dream."

"Find a table in the large dining room and ready yourself for moist and tender brisket with a perfectly seasoned black bark, lovely baby backs, hearty sausage, and the absolutely stunning (in both appearance and flavor) pork chop. All are sublimely smoky, just the way the good Lord intended."

Lora Marie

"The ribs were really tasty and I loved the brisket — it had a great spice along the outside that added a TON of flavor. The sausage also had a nice spice to it. I enjoyed the potato salad and the tater tot casserole.The tastes were good and it had a pretty fun atmosphere."

"I have tried the half-chicken, jalapeño cheese sausage and dry-rub ribs. All juicy and full of flavor. Ribs are one of the best I have tried anywhere.Try their craisins and almonds coleslaw."

"Opie’s should be the brisket standard.The lean brisket had an excellent moisture content with a generally balanced smoke level and sweet, rendered fat. I opted for the jalapeno and cheese sausage and It had a snappy casing, a fantastic spice level and a texture that did a great job of highlighting the jalapeno and cheese components."

"The rack of ribs is basted as it cooks with their “sweet & spicy” sauce for a tangy flavor with a slight kick. The smoky brisket is moist and tender, served sliced or chopped. The sausage is well-seasoned and delicious. Opie’s definitely delivers on the smoky goodness from the minute you step out of the car."

Scott Sandlin

"Everything was great; the brisket was tender and moist and full of flavor, and the baby backs brought enough heat in their spice to make them particularly memorable. Tip: don't skip the Tater Tot Casserole."
