  • Called in a next-day catering order for my work crew of (15) & thankfully they were able to accommodate. I arrived a few minutes early to pick up and everything was perfectly fresh, even waiting 1 more minute for the last dish to finish. The staff helped bring the order to my car and were polite & professional. There was enough for everyone to have two plates as well as a to-go container. Well worth the price for that alone. Regardless of value, the food was delicious. Everyone loved the corn fritters, seasonal veg, and especially the smoked sausage. Other meats and sides were also delicious. The restaurant itself seemed well kept with great customer service. I was eyeing some of the orders on tables and will definitely be back to try.

  • The food was delicious! We had the old fashioned frito chili pie, pork rib sandwich with seasoned waffle fries (crispy) and the biggest sweet potato topped with smoked chicken breast. Ii was great 👍 Service was courteous, attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed. Great Saturday night 🌙 Thank you Emily 😊

  • 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 were out running errands and stopped for lunch. They had the best brisket I have had in a long time. Our server was very nice and recommended the spicy green beans which were so good! Its a very nice place and we were served quickly.

  • When will I ever learn that putting tarter sauce with your favorite fish plate probably will prevent your happiness at the dating polls? Sorry about that guys it's just the kid in me. But maybe theirs hope for me come Thanksgiving when my favorite dessert is pecan pie?

  • We visited this place on a recommendation from the front desk clerk at the Best Western we're staying at up the street. We were beyond impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the taste of the food and the portion sizes. The ribs were fall of the bone tender, the catfish was delicious. My husband got a baked potato and corn on the cob as his sides. We expected a small potato and a small chunk of corn. Nope... large baked potato the size of the plate and a full ear of corn. Macaroni and cheese is clearly homemade and delicious and while the fried pickle spears are a little floppy, they have the perfect amount of crunch and tart. Perhaps the only disappointment if you want to call it that is that the sweet tea isn't as sweet as we're used to. Would definitely recommend and if we were going to be in town longer, we would be planning to eat here again.

  • Pros: Best BBQ I've had in a very long time. This is a place my family visits frequently. Several sauce options, lots of variety on the menu. I've never been disappointed by the food. Cons: Don't expect your drink to be refilled unless you ask for it. Also will probably have to ask for more napkins. Overall good and I definitely recommend eating here!
