Best BBQ place around. Drove an hour and a half to pick up a Thanksgiving Smoked turkey 🦃 that they only offer during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Was worth the drive and will be a return customer.

Went in to pick up a pulled pork sandwich for takeout and was surprised to see the place nearly empty. I though, where are all the customers at this time of the evening. Then I realized, the greeting was cold, the atmosphere was dry, and it just felt like nobody cared. I took my food and luckily it was tasty. The sandwich was good.

I just wanted to give a great review for Gelea, our server. She was very attentive and checked up on us multiple times throughout our visit. She always kept our drinks refilled and made sure our orders arrived as quick as she could.
