I will say the chicken and fried pickles are usually good. However, the main issues were timeliness and presentation. I ordered chicken tenders, fried pickles, and a hot dog. Something that shouldn't take that long. But I ended up waiting 20 minutes for my food. I could see the workers arguing while looking at orders and their receipts. My order must've either been forgotten or given to the wrong person because they then quickly threw it together, serving the fried foods straight from the fryer before handing it to me. When i got home and finally checked the food, the fried food had been so hot that it'd melted not just the Styrofoam container but the plastic ramacin of ranch and honey mustard; spilling the dips all over to food. The fried pickles were inedible because all the ranch had made the fried parts come off, leaving a weird ranch and pickle soup kind of thing. If you eat here, maybe ask for your dips to be separate from the food, and set aside 30 minutes to wait for your food.
Parking: Parking lot is full of pot holes and the drive thru is very tight.

Girl dealing with food wants to play with her hair & keep scratching her head then not wash hands before touching food. No sauce on BBQ sandwich. No receipt like I asked for & the manager is a joke. Bring it back she will fix it that's going against health codes if I am not mistaken. Place gets worse in every way & after today I won't ever waist my money there!

This is the 273rd BBQ restaurant I've dined in. And I'd say it's on the upper end of the middle of the road. The que was good, but they'd do themselves a favor by serving it dry and letting the diner choose the sauce. Their choices are good, and several are better than the house sauce that comes on the sandwich. I scored it a 7.9/10. Esthetically, it's a cool little place resembling old timey. They just need to figure out how to speed things up. Priced well, i didn't feel cheaped. Sides were good and the selection was decent.
Food was okay tasting. Something slightly off about the sauce. The owner seemed a little rough around the edges. I had 16oz drink with my meal. When I went for a refill he whispered to the girl behind the counter “always fill it up with more ice” when hardly any had melted. I was returned a cup I couldn’t even stick a straw in and the cup bulged. If they are cheap enough to worry about 22 cents worth of soda they charged $2.50 for I hate to think where else they’re trying to cut costs.
We found this little gem on road trip to the beach. Wonderful breakfast. Wife loved omelette. I had some of the best gravy I’ve ever had . Hope to time it right on the way back for the BBQ!

Great food and a friendly staff, but a bit cramped inside if your party is bigger than 2.

Given that this is a barbecue place I was looking for a few more typical barbecue options. I had a craving for spare ribs. I think my only options were a "sandwich" (3 bones worth of ribs) or a half of a slab. The taste was just okay. The servers were very nice.
Parking: The small restaurant has its own small parking lot.

This place was a pleasant surprise. The pulled pork that I had was mildly Carolina style. Fantastic flavor.
Good BBQ & chilli dogs
