The hot link was good, but the pulled pork tasted like they put vineger in it to give it moisture. Sauces and mac-n-cheese were okay, but the collard greens were bitter and not seasoned well. Dickies is better, and that's not saying much.

I don’t know where this young man learned to cook but, OMG!!! So glad I found him?
The poor guy at the register was struggling to get the order right. I think he was overwhelmed and not sure if he was a newer employee. Now for the food…the Mac and Cheese was a major disappointment. The noodles were cooked right, but the cheese was sorely lacking. It was like they added noodles to make it stretch and it canceled out the ooey gooey cheese they advertised. The collard greens is definitely different. It was very oily and tasted like it had some bbq sauce with bits of the grilled meat that was dry and tough and had a little stick in it that would have been dangerous to eat if I didn’t see it. It wasn’t horrible, just a different take on preparation that I wasn’t a fan of. The pulled chicken wasn’t too bad once you added bbq sauce to it. The brisket was tender, but wasn’t as flavorful as one would have anticipated. The ribs were very tender, but had a weird smell when I opened the box they put it in. I love to smell my food, but this wasn’t the most pleasant smell so I only ended up eating only 2 bones. The cornbread was definitely on point. It tasted like skillet cornbread with a sweetness to it. My overall opinion is it was a one time experience. I wouldn’t Go back and especially for the cost and serving sizes it is way overpriced.

It’s so cute inside!!I got Mac n cheese and it was cold and under seasoned. Chicken again cold and under seasoned. Brisket cold with a nice seasoned crust but that’s were the flavor stops. The brisket did melt in your mouth but definitely is lacking flavor. It was 1:30pm when we went not busy at all and it was Sunday. Everyone was nice and friendly. But the food really needs help. Oh I did get “collard greens” yes cold the meat that was in it was over cooked and dried out, the greens had a can flavor the broth was the only thing that had any flavor and I think it was the amount of salt that was added. Would not go here or recommend this to anyone. My husband liked the brisket sandwich that he covered in bbq sauce so…

Brisket was terrible, had a bad smoke. Tasted like it was in black smoke. The ribs had a great smoke flavor, but they use cheaper rib cut with just the stub of a bone.

The bbq I picked up from here made for the best Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back and try me some fried chicken.

I'm going to be completely honest and tell you that the only thing we had was the brisket. We had already ordered food elsewhere and this was a last second addition to that. Brisket is our measuring stick when it comes to BBQ and this place serves the best we've had. We will definitely come back and try out the rest of the menu and update review at that time.

We’ve eaten here about 5 times and absolutely love it every time. Our favorite is the brisket. We’re ordering take out for all the football games today!

Brisket, pulled pork and Mac was ok. BBQ sauce is like flavored ketchup and is disgusting. Worst sauce Ive had. Cornbread was flat and needs butter and honey. Chicken was not shredded. This place could be really good with just a few tweaks.
