Great smoked meats and homemade pies but thats where the good news ends. The sides are very bland and pretty limited for a bbq joint. Mac n cheese was bland but creamy. Corn was basic and overdone. I thought maybe the saving grace would be their sauce but I was let down. It tastes alot like italian pasta sauce and ketchup than barbeque sauce.

Looks like a shack but awesome bbq. The meat is smoked with sauce on the side. Their house sauce has a little kick. Burnt ends are the star but all is so very good. It is seasonal so might be gone soon but the pumpkin cream pie was amazing.

The food here is so good! Shared ribs, brisket, pork, and the sausage, they are all real good, but brisket was my favorite!

I had the ribs and brisket, corn and macaroni and cheese. The sides were only so-so, but the meat was on point. The meat didn't need the home-made warm BBQ sauce but it was tangy and delicious. Service was spot on. Parking a little rough. I will be returning.

This BBQ restaurant came recommended for their burnt ends, but the homemade pecan pie was the best! Potatoe salad was also good. Brunswick stew was strong on the tomato flavor.

I ordered the beef brisket with macaroni and cheese, and a side of coleslaw. The beef brisket was incredibly dry almost as if they had just put in the microwave to warm it up. The Macaroni was flavorless, tasted of just noodles. The coleslaw was okay, you could get better slaw from KFC. Their dessert options are limited, but decent.Now my waitress. Excellent service she was very hospitable and probably would’ve fed me if I let her.It is a smaller place, so it’s gonna be pretty loud and rowdy. Not a problem for younger people, but for older couples I’d look somewhere quieter.

Everything was great fast,delicious, and the barbecue sauce was some of the best I've ever tasted. The only problem was the amount that was given 2 little plastic condiment containers just isn't enough sauce for a pound of meat.

Nothing fancy here, so you know they are focused on their craft!! Haven't found anything on the menu I didn't enjoy and they are experts at to-go and catering!!

Phenomenal food; food was out within 5 minutes. Meat was falling off the bone, and the BBQ sauce was perfectly tangy and sweet. 50% off for anyone in working uniform.
