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

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...
