I have eaten here a few times now and it keeps getting better and better! Tonight we had the burger and Cajun Fries and Pulled Pork sandwich with Coleslaw. Literally the best in town! Awesome portions at and absolutely awesome price! Kaylee is amazing and killing it! This is off the beaten path but once everyone finds it, you are going to have to wait in lines!

I finally got a chance to try this place and I cannot say that I will be back. Went on a Sunday at 6pm and they were out of just about 50% of the menu. Absolutely the most flavorless brisket I have ever had. Was it even smoked? The mashed potatoes and gravy were just blah. Asked for BBQ sauce on the brisket. Could they spare the dabbles of sauce they put on it? My wife thought her pulled pork was dry and she thought the same about the amount of BBQ sauce on hers as well. She did like the baked beans. The quality, the prices for what you get and the food were just not worth it.

Incredibly cooked ribs. The texas tornadoes are very good, too.

From start to finish, this meal was a culinary catastrophe. The burgers were a study in extremes. one arrived charred beyond recognition, the other disturbingly undercooked. Neither could be described as remotely edible. The chicken sandwich offered no redemption; it was utterly devoid of seasoning or flavor, and the buns were so dry and stiff they might have been left under a heat lamp for days.
It’s rare to encounter a restaurant that misses the mark on every basic element of preparation, texture, and taste. Consider this a hard-earned lesson: I will not be returning.

Great chicken at great price. Beats all of the chains for taste an value. Being from out of town the lack of seating was the only downfall. Fox Bluff is nearby if warm enough for a picnic

Wow the food tastes so good and the portions along with amazing prices is very family friendly . Chicken wings were great and the burger and friend chicken sandwich was delicious and clearly not a frozen product . Fries were perfect and loved the baked beans . Will be back

We ordered from here last night for the first time and it did not disappoint! The chicken was flavorful and crispy, and the shrimp were huge! The Mac and cheese were outstanding! I wish we had ordered more! We’ll definitely be back trying more items on the menu! Thank you for making great food!
This is where THE John Pork gets his meat. The young lady at the counter knows what’s up.

The absolute worst brisket sandwich I've ever had. The French fries were awful. Tossed all of it in the garbage. Never again..

I ordered the Brisket, pulled pork, and rib tips. Brisket lacked the fat vein, and was gray in color. That's from sitting in a steam table. Lacking and rub for flavor. It was shredded not cut.
Pulled pork was no better , it lacked any smoker flavor, in fact from steam table.
Last rib tips my dogs wouldn't touch them.
Chick an̈d pig needs a cook that can smoke meats and know how to do it.

I want to say this is probably the worst restaurant in my neighborhood and if I could I would give it a zero star Fries come uncooked cold and soggy no flavor on any of the meat and cost a fortune as well as our dessert has mold. Weather it's a kid meal or an adult meal the fries should be cooled all the way. That's the least of the problem mold in the pudding I was gone share with my toddler. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog. I love trying new places but this place is by far the worse. Come on people get with it
knew I was in for something good the second I opened my to-go box, but this place still blew me away. The brisket was unreal — smoky, tender, and juicy enough to stand on its own without a drop of sauce. The boneless ribs? Fall-apart perfection, packed with flavor in every bite.
And let’s talk about that biscuit with honey butter… absolute heaven. Warm, fluffy, and just the right sweetness — like comfort food wrapped in a hug. Then came the banana cream pie in a jar for dessert, and wow. Creamy, dreamy, and layered so perfectly it honestly felt unfair to every other dessert out there.
This wasn’t just a meal, it was an experience. If you’re looking for barbecue that sticks with you long after the last bite, this spot is it.
I work the night shift so thank god this spot is open till 2 am on fridays and saturdays. perfect for everyone working an overnight or third shift , or just some munchies. it’s perfect for any occasion

I honestly want to gatekeep this place, but it’s too good not to share. The food hits on another level—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff make you feel like you’re at home. This is the kind of spot you stumble into once and then keep craving again and again.
