Lives up to its name. Don’t miss the collard greens—they’re particularly tasty here.

This is all complimentary. This place puts out amazing food with average ingredients. I don't blame them at all, of course. If Dawg Gone Good BBQ sourced better stuff, I'd travel here from home in Ohio to eat it. Everything I ordered was delicious.

Highly recommend Dawg Gone Good BBQ, first timers and impressed. Quick service and amazingly good ribs. Don’t know how he does it but these ribs needed no sauce! Will definitely be back. Mac and cheese was delicious too.

I ordered the combination plate which I should have checked before I left but I didn’t but that’s no excuse for old BBQ. The ribs were tough and old with no flavor, the pull pork was as well. The chicken was shredded with no flavor whatsoever I do not recommend this place to anyone.

I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately I did not. First the place is tiny and parking somewhat difficult. We ordered in advance and I went to pick up. Season is a slow season but there wasn't a soul in the place but about 4-6 staff. Let start with the good. The banana pudding was good and their original sauce was tasty. Ordered several pull pork sandwiches. The sandwiches were very small almost slider size. The pork had no taste like it was boiled. It did not taste like smoke or any rub. The yams were good but looked old in color. The beans were so so. Also had the potato salad. That was so so. The Mac and cheese was a mess of overcooked noodles that had been sitting and congealed. Had a sour flavor and could not figure out the flavor. Had to throw them out. The bill was over 40.00 but definitely not worth it. Small sandwiches and no flavor. Not sure I would come back. Do not know how it got it rating. Did not try this night.

My baby girl and I haven’t been here in a while. Let’s just say I’m so glad we were craving bbq today. The staff always reminds me of why it’s always a pleasure to stop in and grab some good food. We are definitely satisfied with our meal. They have some of the best banana pudding I have ever had. The sample platter was more than enough for us. Thank you for making this food with love.

Ordered chicken and pork for a 15 person tailgate. Everyone raved over the bbq. I've had a lot over the years - this is special. BJ is great bbq master and has great service. Thanks BJ! (I mixed the hot and the sweet, but also great without sauce)
