Good food. We got the meal for four, and all the food was very good. I love BBQ and I'm very picky about my pulled pork, and this had no chunks of fat mixed in, which is very important. No one wants their pork filled with a bunch of fat. 👍. Good food here. A little pricey, but worth it. We had plenty to take home for another full meal.

4.5 stars. Haven't eaten here in quite some time and the wife and I decided to swing in for dinner. Greeted right away with a friendly welcome and how many. Floors were clean as well as the tables. Restroom was clean and well kept as well. Our waitress *Emily* was fantastic!!! We ordered the BBQ for 2 and a pair of sweet teas. Everything was fast, fresh, and well prepared. The meats are lightly seasoned and I feel they leave the sauces to do most of the talking. 5...

A straight 5 stars for the food and especially the staff. We walked in unannounced at 720pm on a Saturday night. Their friendly professional staff had us seated quickly (table for 17) Attended to our needs including drinks and requiring 6 different tickets. Food served without delay or mistakes.
I had the ribs and my friend had the brisket.
Awesome experience all around
