   Not sure I am sold on this place. We used to go there before they changed owners and the food was good, but service was hit or miss. The last couple of times I have been here, the service was good, but my brisket has been lukewarm (as in temperature).

   How is it a Smoke House restaurant doesn't incorporate their signature meats into the Brunch menu?

   Food was not warm, came out in 1 minute, like it's sitting in the back from yesterday. Gross

   Fun place for my kids 6th birthday. Service and food was just okay and it was expensive relative to what you get.

   I would definitely recommend T-Rex to anyone who loves smoked meat. You can smell the smoker from across the street! I got half the smoked chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My husband got the smoked brisket, mac and cheese with bacon and Caesar salad. The smoked meats were the highlight of the meal.

   Had the spinach and beet salad which was very good. The brussel sprouts side dish is good but would be better if they didn't steam the sprouts. Probably should have pan fried and tossed them.

   Service was painfully slow and we had to flag folks down to get refills on water or drinks.

   We were seated promptly at a reserved table. Our lady server was excellent, helping us through the menu to order just the right amount and variety of items for the seven of us. Highly recommended are cornbread, Memphis baby back ribs (meaty!), Brussel sprouts, bacon Mac and cheese. The lean brisket was a bit dry- maybe the regular should have been ordered and BBQ sauces fine. Service was excellent and we had food to take home. While not up to Kansas City standards it's worth a trip from Marin. Only squabble is Gilman St. turnoff from 580- traffic nightmare!! We'll be back.

    We made a brunch reservation for a group of 10 for my birthday. We were the first to arrive at the restaurant when it opened and were seated right away. The experience went downhill from there. Our waitress has a horrible attitude from the start, she made it seem like she was doing us a favor waiting on our table and I saw several eye rolls. She seemed inexperienced and I understand serving a large table can be daunting but it's part of your job in food service and customers shouldn't be able to tell you are overwhelmed or annoyed. After sitting for 10 minutes we still hadn't received our waters. i had to leave to table to ask to be given our water and drinks. I wasn't given my drink until close to the end of my meal which came out wrong. My husband's side dish was cold. I care too much about working people and sympathize too much with how it is to work a hard service job to not tip so I tipped the waitress above what her poor attitude and even worse service deserved. The food overall was not good. I cook better food at home. The fried chicken was burnt, ribs were dry, bread was stale. If it wasn't for the beautiful weather and the hike I had planned for the rest of the day this brunch could have seriously ruined my special day. I will never come back to this place. Poor service, mediocre (at best) food.
