  • 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.

  • I had the Beast Wich (sliced brisket, ham, sausage, fried green beans on toast). It was so good. The BBQ sauces were good. I mixed the sweet & mild to get the taste I wanted. Fried green beans were spicy. I want to go back now.

  • First time in Durant and wanted some barbecue. We’re from Texas where barbecue is always good. We had the three meat plate. The servings were huge. Amazing taste. We really enjoyed our meal. Definitely will return when in town!

  • I really enjoy the food here. My favorite is the chopped brisket sandwich, or smoked chicken with brisket dinner. Their spicy fried green beans are my fave side. Mmm, I'm going again tonight!

  • 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!

  • Always crowded their pick up window had a long line. Not enough parking and the flavor it's good. Clean restrooms and visible location. Highly recommended. Their prices are lower than the average barbecue joint. Enjoy!

  • 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...

  • Fast service. Their smoked chicken special was sold out in 2 hours. Come early!

  • 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.

  • Food was delicious, and the tea wasn't bitter - I didn't even need to add sugar to the unsweetened tea I ordered. But many of the tables had resident flies. It's coming into summer so that might not be a concern if you visit during cold weather.
