The bluegrass music was great. The ribs were a bit dry which I wasn't expecting. The service was forgetful. They didn't bring utensils or anything extra
plate we requested.

Rustic homey place serving authentic Carolina pulled pork barbeque and delicious ribs. Smaller plates are available like sandwiches if you're not too hungry. Fresh made daily in house macaroni and potato salad and coleslaw are all great accents to the awesome meat. Love it here.

The exterior looks cute and quaint, and the atmosphere inside is very warm. Their BBQ is fragrant and delicious, and I think the price of the meal is worthwhile.

Food is amazing. Dining room is okay. However, DO NOT ever sign up to receive their text messages. It doesn't matter how many times you reply stop, Block and delete. They will text you from 1000 different numbers. At this point, I don't think I'll ever go back them and eat because they won't remove my phone number from their marketing list. Off to the FTC to report them.

Great people work here, awesome customer service. The place is so cool because of the decorations it’s like you’re walking into a midwest dimension. And the food, NEVER disappoints. I get the pulled pork sandwich and a side of hushpuppies and they’re always so so good

I had the full slab of pork ribs. If you know the Flintstones cartoons, you will recognize the opening credits where the waitress brings a tray of ribs to the Flintstones' car and the car tips over, we'll that's what almost happened to our table. Those ribs where stacked high and full of delicious tender meat. I can't recommend it enough. My meal came with macaroni salad, which was also delicious. I took more than half of the ribs home with me and had them as leftovers the next day. 😋
Parking: There is a pet friendly patio in the front of the building and it has heat lamps. Cozy.

Wanted some BBQ for lunch and this was the nearby choice. Rustic western feel. U order first and pay at counter. They deliver to u at table. The picture was about $42. I’m not a billionaire (yet) and I know BBQ ain’t cheap but I think it could have a little more in the portions imo. My fave Smoked Out still charges $22 and I get 2 thick brisket slices - plus very flavorful. Taste was average here. Just working thru my BBQ fix - will post other places.
Summary 3.5 stars.

Fantastic service! Love the atmosphere here, feels like a museum of treasures! The food cools down quite fast. The brisket wasn’t bad. It doesn’t melt in your mouth and is a little tough.

The brisket was so dry and chewy, the cow must have been dehydrated its whole life
