This place nails it from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. Friendly, welcoming, and professional staff make every part of the visit feel effortless and enjoyable. Everything here is top-notch — the food, the drinks, the service, even the little details like the ambiance. You can tell they really take pride in what they do. Walking out, you just feel happy and appreciated, which is something you don’t get everywhere. Big thanks to the team for making it such a consistently great experience. I’ll be coming back for sure, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place that does everything right.

Honestly this wasn’t good at all. I ordered the brisket, it was dry and not very good without the barbecue cause. For my sides I ordered sweet potato fries and corn. Both bland and had absolutely no salt. I won’t be returning.

Today we used the drive through. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich w/mild sauce on the side, mac n' cheese, and coleslaw as my two sides. The brisket was perfectly cooked. Tender, flavorful, crispy bits mixed with melty bits. Wonderful. The coleslaw was a bit more bland than usual, but it wasn't bad. The Mac n' cheese was cheesy and good. Our service through the drive through was polite, efficient, and everything was correct.

Passing through town and decided to give this place a try. Brisket was so dry it was almost dehydrated. Even with the sauce, barely edible. The beans and cornbread were good. Mac n cheese wasn't bad but definitely came out of a box. Overall, not worth the price.

A great place for a quick lunch. With easy access off of 55 I’m glad to have chose this place for lunch. Turkey was as tender as it gets and steamed broccoli was prepared perfectly in butter and seasoning just as I would at home. Bonus points for having beer on ice as well.
