Jeffrey D. along with the other staff was very nice and helpful as it was my first visit. The quality and taste of the food was beyond my expectations. Great job!! I will be sharing my experience and visiting again☺️

The first couple of times I have been here the food was good. They messed up a mild that was supposed to be spicy. I could offer criticism like their slaw is very bland and other sides need improvement in true southern taste. But, I won't. My most recent brought them down from 4.5 to a 3. I went in on Saturday at 5:30 the first time asked the brisket. Fresh out. Go out to make a phone call. I ask for the 3 tenders meal. Fresh out. I use to cook food. I know you can dredge them with batter for 15 minutes set and batter them multiple times to get the desired crispness. I go out to make another call. Ask for rib tips. Fresh out. Learn to accommodate your weekend sales vs your week day sales in prepping. It isn't that hard. I have done it as a manager.

Waited over 20 mins in line for 3 cars I get they make the food as you order but my whole lunch break is basically gone because it takes forever, and they never answer the phone to place an order smh

The brisket was phenomenal. My wife got the lean and I got the fatty. Both of us were not disappointed. The collard greens rivelled any I've ever had. Staff was more than personable. This ole Sarge has been around the country and all I can say is OUT STANDING!

Really friendly and warm people behind the counter... and a chance at a free taste of something if you go in! Try the gizzards... sounds nasty, but life-changing!

Parking: Tricky to pull into from the street. There's a convenient drive through.

I was passing through town and saw this on maps so I decided to test it out. Staff is very friendly. I tried out the brisket and got a pound to go. Sat and had the pulled pork with Mac n Cheese on the side. Everything was top notch. The pork speaks for itself, but the quality of bun was a good touch too. Half sour pickles were good. Everything is good. Go here. You won’t regret it.

After patronizing this place for a few weeks, I became unimpressed when I was charged nearly five dollars for an extra order of fries that I didn’t order. Mistakes happen. I understand. However when speaking with the lady over the phone to attempt to resolve the issue, we could not come to an accord. She wanted me to bring my food all the way back to the restaurant to issue a refund. This is why it is so imperative to check your order before leaving. I was also unhappy with an extra fee added if you’re using a debit/credit card. So it’s best to bring cash when you place your order.
