Our visit on a Monday night was good. The dining area only had a few diners when we arrived. We were immediately seated and our server, Makala arrived quickly. We didn't have to wait long before our food arrived. The pulled pork was delicious, as well as the smoked turkey. Overall, the food was great! The lighting inside is a bit dim, and makes it somewhat difficult to see the menu.

Home of Alabama’s famous white BBQ sauce — and yes, it’s as good as they say. I tried the smoked chicken with a side of mac and cheese; juicy, smoky, and tangy in every bite. The atmosphere is pure Southern comfort — casual, loud, and full of regulars.

Known for inventing white BBQ sauce, and it really stands out — creamy, peppery, and perfect on smoked chicken. The ribs were tender with a nice char. It’s family-friendly, casual, and a little hectic at peak times, but the food delivers history on a plate.

Famous for the white BBQ sauce — tangy, creamy, and unexpectedly perfect on smoked chicken. The pulled pork was juicy and rich with a subtle smoky flavor. It’s a casual, family-style place where the food really does the talking.

The food was spectacular and we all left stuffed! Our collective group has eaten at a lot of barbecue places over the years and we all agreed that this was one of if not the best we had been to. Keep up the great work!
