This place is a local gem! I have nothing bad to say about this place. The food.... amazing. The best crab cake/fried shrimp/hush puppies I have ever had in my life. The cheese grits were creamy and the red beans and rice obviously freshly made. But let me talk more about this crab cake......it was rich, craby, fulllll of flavors, finely chopped onion and red peppers just added to the experience. The local feel was so friendly and warm. It felt like we were at an Uncle's...

Amazing! I have to stop and get dad BBQ on my way to Sims and it absolutely makes his day e everytime! Not to mention the yummy dessert he (we) always get. Coming from Georgia after 13 years of being here we have finally found real BBQ!!

The food and service was amazing. We went at lunch time on a Wednesday and the place was packed and still exceeded all expectations. I ordered the lunch stack which is grouper, shrimp, and a crab cake with cheese grits. This was some of the best food I’ve had, the crab cakes are unbelievably good. Everything was top notch. Best place we ate at on our vacation
