BBQ was good, but not great. It was the sauce that really pulled everything together vs. the meat IMO. Overall the meat seemed to be on the lean / dry side, and I prefer mine more fatty.

Hands down the best BBQ in Georgia. Not by a just a little but by a mile. Get their specials. They usually are special indeed.

Not a fan. The meat wasn’t hot, taste was just ok, sides are a no go, but most of all they didn’t use gloves when they touched the meat. No, thank you….

Update: I was actually trying to be nice with my review. But as a restaurant you should be able to take constructive criticism. I’ve had better food from a hospital cafeteria. And yes the banana pudding was a complete joke. I wonder if whoever voted it best was suffering from long lasting Covid side effects & taste buds weren’t up to par. Needless to say, happy Saturday ?—-The chicken was okay. The baked baked beans was good. The ‘banana pudding’ is a joke lol.

MANNNN! Sometimes, you just gotta drop in on the Mom & Pop Shops for theeee absolute best kept secrets the community has to offer! The staff nice and the dining area was a decent size, clean, and quiet. The parking was minimal. But, it appears to be enough. Looked like most folks were not dining in any way.Now..... ABOUT THE FOOD! ?It was my very first [but definitely NOT last] time patronizing this establishment today just before they closed @ 2pm. I typically try not to go overboard ordering too much in case I don't like the food. So, I made a simple 3 bone sandwich order and went to the car to eat.MANNNN-O-MANNNN! ???I LITERALLY... got out of my car and went back inside to tell them how gooooood those ribs were! ??????They were... SOOOO JUICY, A Lil' FATTY, SEARED ON THE OUTSIDE -- JUST ENOUGH TO GIVE THE RIB A LITE CRUNCH! AND THAT BBQ SAUCE WAS A-MA-ZING!!! ?? ???I definitely have to take my husband back asap!Tysm guys!Parking: Looks efficient for a majority to-go audience.

I heard from a smoker seller that this place had the best smoked sausages, I was super excited to try it. Unfortunately the sausage was disappointing, I have tasted ok sausages before but have never had a sausage as dry as this. See the attached picture for yourself. I tasted the brisket and ribs that my husband ordered, they’re not bad. Just really wish the sausages were good!
