Crab sandwich was just "ok". Potato salad was bland, it could have used a few more ingredients to liven up the flavor. Ordered a slice of apple pie, and it had an odd starchy taste to it. I had the server exchange it for a lemon merengue pie and it tasted better, but still had an odd starchy flavor to it and the filling was not smooth. I figured out later that they must have been using flour for the thickener rather than corn starch, which has a smoother texture...

Ribs were ok, french fries cool. Server was way too distracted talking to people. We had to go up to the counter to order dessert. Might as well take "Original" out of the name because it is NO WAY like the "Original Hickory Pit"

The Pie is really where it's at though.
If anything, go light on the mains and save room for the pie. The Keylime was amazing!
