  • Ordered sliced beef and chicken breast to go with hot and fire sauces to go. They were excellent. The macaroni and mashed potatoes and brown gravy are good as well. I recommend this place to any BBQ fans.

  • Okay... I had brisket and some ribs from you guys this week and WOW... those were the best dang ribs I’ve ever put in my mouth! I am pretty picky about ribs and Main St BBQ, in my honest opinion, has the best! They don’t even need any sauce!!! The brisket was fantastic too, and oooooohhhh the beans...wonderful! I can’t recommend this place enough!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!
