The BBQ was nasty and cold, potato salad, cole slaw nasty. only thing good was fries and brunswick stew. all the untouched food still had to pay $40 and the manager said there is nothing wrong with her food. As we was leaving we seen a group of workers sitting out back smoking weed, which is okay its legal, but cmon. Rude manager didnt want to make it right, called us a lie cause we said we didnt like her BBQ. This place is a joke 😂🗣
I ordered smoked chicken, mac & cheese, potato salad, coleslaw baked beans, Texas toast, and banana pudding. Everything tasted amazing. Very friendly staff. Also good prices.
