Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I came in after a listing appointment for some bbq and saw their lunch special that day was a brisket burrito so i thought I’d give it a try. Perfect lunch portion served with some awesome fries. Their table sauces were full of flavor and...the service was fast and nice. Have a few good beers on tap a few tv’s and comfortable seating. Will definitely be back and eat a few smoked meats!More

The food was excellent. 12 oz ribeye cooked to perfection and a half slab of ribs. Great service too. Baked beans have a ton of flavor too.

We stopped here to eat solely based on TA reviews. It did not disappoint. Friendly folks and wonderful food. My wife had brisket and loved it. I had the catfish and it was done perfectly and was some of the best I've had. The whole...experience was excellent and we can't wait to return.More

I have been to Heady's about 4 times and was generally more than satisfied with the service, the food, and the facility. I'm a brisket guy and theirs is pretty good. I also had the pulled pork and ribs - pulled pork is average ribs...are above average.More

The title pretty much says it s all. We have tried the new restaurant in town but we keep coming back to Headys because we rarely have to wait long for a table, the atmosphere is very relaxed, the staff is friendly, and the food...is always good.More

Heady's BBQ has always been one of our favorite places to enjoy a meal. My wife and I recently started on a keto diet, and were a little worried about how many restaurants would fit into our new plan. We were pleasantly surprised to find...that Heady's BBQ is very Keto friendly. The Pig Nasty without the bun and with Green Beans...yes! Any of their sandwiches can be served minus the bun and with Green Beans instead of fries working nicely with our diet.More

My friend from KC was in town and we went in to enjoy bbq nachos and a wonderful sandwich. She was so impressed she took home with her a couple slabs of Ribs, a couple pounds of pork, beef and something else but I don't...remember. We had to carry it out in a big box. Her family is ready for her to come back in town.More
