When I walked in I wasn't sure what to expect. I was blowin away! Brisket was do tender, Mac and cheese out of this world and mashed potatoes with smoke gravy outstanding! I asked for a mild BBQ sauce and what he suggested was perfect. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back

Great bbq. Hidden off the road but worth the time to find. I had the burnt ends and they were tender, smoky, juicy. We tried a few of their sauces. Friendly service.

This is a hidden gem for traditional BBQ lovers. They’ve been open only a year and have a good menu. I have had the burnt ends and the turkey, both were great! My adult daughter had the pulled pork and loved it. They have a lot of room, despite the small amount of tables in the dining room. They do catering as well. If you haven’t been in, come support a locally owned and run business that has good food! The fire roasted corn with jalapeños was great, not overly spicy!!

Love this road side stop restaurant, the moment you walk in you listen to great time memories, then it's the view of the road signs, like in the highway, but it's their menu... then when you finally try the brisket, it just melts in your mouth, and the smoke house ribs and not like the ones you steam and they slip of the bone, no sir, these smoked one have a hickory scent and you bite into them and get a clean teeth mark on them, I had to try every sauce and my 2 favorite are their famous sweet & smokey and their watermelon sauce. But must not think they don't have sides, my personal favorite were the mash potatoes and corn. Now they also have a great strawberry short cake that they make uniquely, but if you call ahead and request they have some fresh cookies, well.... you are in for a delicious treat. The gentleman at register is the Chef and he's very nice, a plus that he know a lot about the southern BBQ. I look forward to my next visit to try the apple blossom tart.

This has quickly become our go to place for meals when spending time playing board games at the opposite end of the mall. Came here on a whim and the entire group was instantly hooked. Every item we've tried is REALLY delicious making it almost hard to decide what to get each time we go.

Ridiculous prices for the portions and quality.4 ounces of burnt ends for $12 - a la carte. Same story with the pulled chicken and sliced smoked turkey - very small portions for the prices. The brisket portion was decent but based on everything else I think it was a fluke.Food wasn't bad, the gentleman at the store was very friendly. But the price just wasn't worth it. I won't be back at these prices/portions.

One of the worst bbq joints that I've been to!! I had gotten the 2 meat meal deal. With pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, mac n cheese. The meat wasn't good. The coleslaw was ok. The mac n cheese and the rootbeer was the best part of my meal!! I'm just disappointed. Plus it was slow service for the amount of people inside. I like supporting small local joints and not to write bad reviews. This wasn't a good experience for me. I definitely won't be back.

The BBQ is incredible! I ordered the brisket and smoked andouille sausage and I can't say enough good things about both. Also, the sauces are really incredible. I had a rum mustard sauce that was really good, but my favorite was a mango bourbon houtsauce that was outstanding.I will certainly be going back for more!

I was so pleasantly surprised at the great BBQ we had. Its a little place and it had one of the best brisket and rib tips I have ever had. Yum and try the cookies.
