I have mixed feelings about this place now. We had found this little bbq joint in the middle of nowhere about 5 or 6 years ago while on a foliage trip. Since then, we usually return once or twice a year when in the area. At first, I thought the food in here was great, with some of the best smoked brisket I've had. But the last few years, the food has been off. It doesn't seem to have that smoked taste anymore and suspiciously, the smoker in the back is never cooking anything when we go there. Several times, the brisket tasted more like supermarket roast beef than anything else. So, not sure if they've changed their processes or suppliers to save money, but it's just not the same as it used to be. The prices have also gone up drastically. We will probably still stop in here from time to time, but it's not one of my favorites anymore like it used to be. Sigh.

I enjoyed the food the first time i ordered takeout. I ordered ribs with Mac and cheese and collard greens. Today I wasn’t impressed by the food or service. As the area is suburban/ rural there are limited food options near by. As healthcare worker at nearby hospital, my meal breaks are limited so it’s importent to order in advance as it takes 15-20 mins for meals. I called the business phone number for over an hour with no answer. I decided to take a chance and drive over, and to my surprise it was opened. When I entered, I confirmed if I was calling the correct number. The gentleman who took my order confirmed it was in fact the correct number, but said “at times we get busy and can’t answer the phone” and apologized. I can understand being understaffed as healthcare professional but I just found it to be poor service to not answer for over an hour. Just for some perspective this is not a huge establishment and when I arrived there were 5 people seated.
I order seafood gumbo and 6 wings, pay, and receive my receipt.I wait for the food 15 mins and my order is ready. He asks me to pay again. lol I get the food back to the hospital and the gumbo is delicious, but the wings have hair. This will definitely be a last experience for me. (Meal approx $19)

Swung by here a couple of months ago when I was in town and have spent everyday since fantasizing about the Crab Cake Po’ Boy. Went back yesterday (after harassing the nicest person on the phone twice to make sure they had it), and it might have been EVEN BETTER. Thanks for the most delicious BBQ!!

First time visiting.
Good: polite and prompt staff. Good spicy bbq sauce (spicy Georgia peach). Excellent collard greens. Food served piping hot.
Not so good: brisket was pretty dry and lacking.
Also found a long strand of hair in my sandwich (I’m pretty much bald.... definitely fell into the food by accident in the kitchen) Accidents happen.
Would definitely come back and try other stuff on the menu.

Me, my girlfriend and her mom loved this place! They serve great pork ribs and delicious brisket. Also, we ordered beans (own recipe), mac and cheese, cornbread and brownie for dessert, all these is a 10/10. We will repeat for sure!

We loved this little place , it’s got a neat pig theme going on with a very broken in BBQ vibe . We love that sort of relaxed atmosphere . My Wife had the California pulled chicken sandwich, and a side of Mac n cheese , I had the BBQ slider plate which offered Pulled chicken and pork and brisket , I had a side of baked beans and we split a slice of homemade apple pie .. the prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious . The staff was friendly and helpful and kept the place clean.
