First time we went to the place. We are from another country and I always look for local restaurants with history to go to with my son.Upon entering, we were greeted with a warm hug by sweet Joy. She even took our order.The food is very good, especially the pulled pork, which I really like, and its sweet bbq sauce.The price is not bad for the size of the dishes and options. The place is an old and traditional restaurant that still maintains details of its history in pictures on the wall and others spread throughout the restaurant.It's really really good and worth visiting!Thank you for making us so welcome, Joy!

Just had lunch at this amazing BBQ spot, and I’ll be going back! Awesome service, great food!, and I didn’t try the deserts, but I noticed they were all made in-house! I loved it! Give them a try, you will be glad you did!!!

The most delicious BBQ anywhere!!We have tried other places, but the bar is just too high for others to meet.Been going there for years, and Joy is always friendly and very attentive!Going to be catering for upcoming birthdays with coworkers, instead of the normal boring pizza.....
I originally tried Old South for the first time and my hush puppies and stew were delicious- but my ribs were a tad overcooked. I talked to the lovely Sharon and she apologized and told me to come back and talk to owner Joy. The next day I returned and talked to Joy and she was a ball of sunshine and joy! She apologized and gave me another order of ribs on her behalf. They were very delicious the second time around and the establishment customer service as a whole was worth a return.I appreciate you Joy & Old South BBQ crew.

Amazing food, super-friendly staff. Our waitress gave us all hugs since we were new. The pulled pork and peach cobbler were probably the best I've ever had. Bathroom was slightly dirtier than I would prefer but, but overall experience is still 5 stars.

Service was great. Food okay, the ribs were tough and lacked flavor. The sauce was good. Baked beans were nasty.
