  • Well deserving of a 5-star rating in fact I wish there was a 6th star. Very nice little restaurant with some of the best barbecue I've ever had. The waiter asked if I had been here before and when I said no, he said just a minute I'll be right back and brought me a plate with a small piece of every meat they have. Every one of them was delicious which made the choice about what to order that much harder. The easy solution was for me just to come back every night all week and try some of everything. Prices are very fair. Everything I've eaten here has been absolutely delicious.

  • Great website, okay restaurant. The food is good but is lacking in good stand out flavor. The menu said they have a frosted cold mug and a lime upon request for drafts but they were out of the draft I asked for and out of limes. The service was good but you could tell she was doing the best with what management provided her with. All in all this experience is mediocre compared to Bbq in places like Florida and Texas. It’s all love though!

  • Good, solid barbecue. Had the ribs, smoked sausage, mac and cheese and spicy fried green beans. The latter and all the sides are really outstanding. The ribs are St. Louis style, and the sauces they have are really yummy, especially the smokey. The brisket was the only disappointing part. We got it sliced and it was a bit dry. The service is attentive and friendly, the place is homey and welcoming.

  • Road tripping and stopped here for lunch. Wow! Do yourself a favor and eat here. I had the rib plate (smallest is 6 ribs), green beans, and apple cider cole slaw. I have plenty leftover for another meal. Everything was delicious, and I am no stranger to good bbq. The mild sauce was really good, not super sweet. Waitress was a sweetie too. Will return again if in the area.

  • We've been eating here since they opened. The food is always delicious. And the waitstaff are Great! The prices have continued to increase while the portion sizes have decreased. We have been ordering one of their new menu items Country Fried brisket and love it. Today we ordered the same. It came out as 1 large slice. This plate cost 13.99. We inquired with the waitress asking if it changed because it normally has 2 or 3 pieces. We were told that is how it comes now. I'm going to hesitate to come back. Adding breakfast and mimosas are not enough to bring me back to overpay.

  • my boyfriend and I came here while we were driving through. Everything was so good, we got a 3 meat plate with Ribs, chopped brisket, and jalapeño cheddar smoked sausage. For our sides we got the spicy fried green beans, and fried okra. The ribs were BOMB, they were probably the best we’ve ever had. They were about an inch thick, and super juicy, we didn’t even feel the need for bbq sauce on them. The sausage and brisket were just as good! The fried spicy green beans were so good!! The ribs were so good we had to get some to go!

  • The chopped brisket and pulled pork are delicious. Especially enjoyed the spiced fried green beans. The server, like always, was very friendly and the meal arrived fast as lightening. We always stop when we are in the area.

  • They've always had good BBQ but discovered they serve breakfast several months ago. One item on the breakfast menu blew me away, now it's the only thing I'll order. The protein bowl is amazing.
