Very nice server. I ordered half a rack of ribs with Brussel sprouts and potato salad. Ribs are meaty and so hot I had to eat with a fork at first. Great BBQ

We had pulled pork, brisket, burnt ends, potato salad and french fries; everything was excellent! Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for delicious and fast barbeque. We will absolutely be returning when we are in the area again.Parking: Very small parking lot shared with a church. Very limited parking spots.

The food was great! I had a smoked chicken sandwich and coleslaw, both were excellent. I got their spicy hot sauce. It was probably spicy hot for most Americans, but not me. It did have a good flavor. I am going to go back to Pop's again. Everything looked good.

The jalapeño corn is warmed in microwave so it broke it down and destroyed it. And the two unisex bathrooms need to go. Probably gonna be my last
