  • 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!

  • Blane was our server. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the 6-rib plate, grilled veggies and corn fritters. Everything was delicious but a little salty to my taste. My husband got the same rib plate with side salad and pinto beans. We did not get to try a dessert but will definitely go back.

  • The best BBQ in the area. Love the smoked meats and sides. Staff are friendly, service is quick and always large portions.

  • 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.

  • Greeted and seated promptly. The server, Austin J., was friendly and efficient. He checked backed several times during the meal and offered “to go” refills on our drinks. Hubby started with a bowl of chili. It was good but seemed to be missing something. I thought the chili flavor could be more robust (not more heat). He thought it might need some cheese and or sour cream as an accompaniment. His main entree was fried catfish with Mac & cheese and green beans. The catfish was coated with seasoned cornmeal and fried. Hubby said the texture was a bit mushy and seemed undercooked; however, the flavor was good. The Mac & cheese was homemade and hit the comfort food spot; green beans were just ok. I had the Bacon Ranch Crispy Chicken salad. I subbed the crispy chicken with smoked chicken breast. The chicken was moist and flavorful. It was a large salad of mixed dark leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheddar cheese and real Hickory smoked bacon. The only recommendation would be to use homemade buttermilk ranch dressing instead of bottled. Overall, if we come this way again, we would definitely stop here.

  • 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.

  • 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.
