Mostly metal chairs to sit in, but the food is so good you don't mind.
The catfish is only served on Sundays but it is the best catfish that you have ever put in your mouth.

We each had the Slaw Hog sandwich with a side of Cheese Taters, then we split a slice of Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream pie, all to-go, then had a nice little picnic outside. The food was all amazing, the staff were all pleasant & helpful, & I enjoyed the local-style music playing overhead while awaiting my order. This place is very convenient to I-40 travelers & absolutely worth it!

The smoked chicken salad is my favorite thing to eat at this restaurant. They always have a special with a drink as well. Love the food
I ordered brisket and pulled pork and while they both seemed to have been cooked appropriately, neither one had any type of flavor. The cheese used on the fries and nachos appears to be the same cheese used in their Mac n cheese. Probably the dirtiest restaurant bathroom I have ever been in. If I had seen the restroom first, I would not have eaten here.

My husband and daughter went here the other day and have not stopped talking about how great the food is. They talked me into going today and everything was amazing. The food was yummy. The staff was friendly and remembered my husband and daughter's order from the time they came without me. The atmosphere was super chill. When we left, my daughter said it is tied for her favorite place to eat.

I had the pulled pork sandwich plate. The sides were good, but the pork was a little dry. Service and atmosphere were good though.
