Holy huge sandwiches! We go by all the time and they are slammed busy. The evening we went was a cold, really cold night. What a treat. Great pulled pork, Mac and cheese and coleslaw.

Have you ever had a brisket burrito? It’s bomb. Also, peanut butter chocolate dessert. Perfection.

Food was absolutely delicious. I got the ribs with 2 sides. The ribs were tender, juicy and flavorful. The cornbread is moist and sweet. I liked the greens too, but wish it had a bit more kick, but I can fix that with hot sauce....Read More

So good! I got the pulled pork platter. The potatoe salad is always amazing. The portions are good sized for the price. And the corn bread never disappoints. Never had a bad meal here.

Delicious BBQ and at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and I got my meal suprisingly quick. Had the Cuban sandwich with potato salad and mac & cheese. With a drink for 12 dollars it was a pretty good value, the sandwich was huge!...Read More

Didn’t let me know when my order was ready. Food was good, except for the collard greens, which were too salty! And I usually like collard greens.

Yall their gravy is MAGICAL. I’m a southern girl by way of Alabama and SC, so I’d say I know gravy. We usually get their ribs, smoked chicken or brisket. Always generous portions and we have leftovers! My kiddo loves your cornbread too! Love supporting...Read More

Enjoyed the beans, pork, chicken, cornbread and corn slaw. But the highlight was the key lime pie. It’s so hard to find a fresh homemade key lime pie. You can tell from the texture it is actually made in the kitchen and it’s delicious. 🍋‍🟩
