  • We drove here on the way back from Dallas from Arkansas and ate here. The food was great (bbq brisket and chicken) and the service was great and fast. Recommend!

  • Great place! We had a large party and they handled it with ease. Our server was great and didn't miss anything we asked for (even the extras were delivered). The pulled pork was moist and delicious without the BBQ sauce. They even do breakfast and have a drive thru!

  • Got a summer salad with blueberries, pecans, spring greens and smoked chicken which was wonderful! I appreciated having a different and lighter option. Hubs had traditional BBQ which he really enjoyed - he got mashed potatoes as a side which were OK but he raved about the brisket, chicken and beans. My son got a fried chicken sandwich, it was also outstanding. Well fried and seasoned with crispy bacon. He got fried okra as a side and they were tasty, fresh and hot. Definitely will go back next time we visit the kiddo - wish it was in our home town.

  • This was the best food I’ve eaten in Durant. It’s amazing. Atmosphere is fun, decor is simple & a bit rustic, staff is friendly. I went in with a group of people and we where attended to quickly. Staff had every order perfect. The food portions are HUGE so if your a light eater I suggest the kids portion. You will not be disappointed. The smoked turkey was delicious. The brisket amazing and the vegetables were yummy!! Location is easy to find. Parking may be tricky when they are busy but it’s be worth the wait

  • The best BBQ in Durant! I love coming here! My favorite is the big stuffed baker with chopped brisket. My only complaint is that they don't have cherry cobbler very often.

  • Awesome little laid back restaurant in downtown Durant. My baked potato was as big as a dinner plate, served on a dinner plate and took up the whole thing! Spicy fried green beans served with Ranch for dipping was very good. Actually everything we tried was good, but we have never had fried green beans before so they stood out for us. Got our food surprisingly quickly after ordering in spite of them being fairly busy. Very good, friendly service. We will be back!

  • The food was good. Nothing extraordinary, but surpassed my expectations. The ribs were tender and everything had a good flavor. The pulled pork wasn't mushy (overcooked) like most places. The pineapple sausage is well worth a try. Our server was polite and attentive to our table. The atmosphere was nothing special, but the welcoming vibe from the staff gave the place an at home feel.

  • If I could give it three and a half stars I would. The service is good and the atmosphere is comfortable but the pricing is too high for the size of the ribs that is served. I asked the waiter if there were bigger size ribs, he took my plate and brought me back ribs that were an eighth of an inch bigger. I won't go back. The ribs I was given were the size of a ladies finger, size six...
