Solid food from some sort of takeaway next to the road. Fast and friendly service and good portions for a decent price. Coleslaw clearly too small for the price. The taste is also decent and recommended. Some outdoor seating in front of the snack bar. Parking spaces are available in the area.

This is definitely the spot. Chicken and ribs were phenomenal and the service was great. Cheers!

The BBQ chicken and ribs were excellent. Their homemade sauce rivals any BBQ on the mainland. Love the tangy flavor. The owner is a super cool guy! This place is a must go!

Best roadside BBQ, this side of Texas! The guys are nice and really funny. They aren’t playing, though, when it comes to feeding the chickens!

Got 5 (five) onion rings on an onion rings order. It would be nice if they included sauce on a pickup sampler order

Wow!

BEST CHICKEN EVER!
If you are craving delicious barbecue, don't hesitate.

I am from France, and I believe French rotisserie cooks have a lot to learn, and American barbecue cooks need to learn from this place.
Crispy, juicy, and incredibly smoky-tasting chicken.

GO GO GO! Don't miss the best chicken of your life!❤️

We were heading home from a lo g day atthe beach and driving by we could smell the food so we turned around and went back! The food was absolutely amazing!! The guys that run it were so nice and friendly that it made it an even better meal!!! It is definitely worth the stop!! Will go there again next time we come on vacation here! Oh and one last thing the bbq sauce!!! You need to bottle and sell it there - so delicious!! Hopefully next time you'll be selling it so we can bring some home!!! Thanks for an enjoyable dinner!!

The people working here were the most inviting and sweet people I have met here. They helped me decide what to pick from their menu, and had a genuine conversation with me. He talked to me while he cooked, and had several others coming up to him to say hey. Overall, very inviting atmosphere and delicious food!
