This restaurant is well staffed with friendly & helpful employees. Additionally, it is much more charming inside than I'd have expected from the plain exterior. However, as a southerner, the sides at a BBQ place are as important to me as the entrées. We didn't care for any of the sides at all. The mac n cheese was particularly disappointing. Definitely had higher expectations...

Came in for lunch on a weekday, they were moderately busy around noon’ish, but we didn’t wait long to place our orders. They have a very appetizing menu, with salads, sandwiches, and then meat & side platters. I opted for their 2 meat platter to try their brisket and sausage.
The sausage was rather basic, not very smokey. Tasted like it was seasoned with black pepper and not a lot more. The casing was also on the rubbery side, not very crispy. The brisket’s flavor was decent, though not very smokey also. I did see that a new brisket was brought up while they were preparing our orders and I suspect I got the last of the previous one which might have been a little dried out by the time it was sliced for me. I also tried a single rib – very disappointing. Almost had the texture of being baked or made in some form other than smoking and then maybe finished with smoke. Lots of fat and not much meat on it.
For sides, I tried their corn bread, cole slaw, and baked beans. The baked beans had some meat in them, but were very sweet and not very spiced in flavor. I added jalapeños to them which spiked them up nicely. Their cole slaw was excellent. Exactly how I prefer it, which is on the basic side with fresh ingredients. Not overly saucy and definitely perfectly seasoned. Their corn bread was OK, but the Texas toast they give with the meal was so much better.
Their sauces were ok. I tried all of them and found that their NC vinegar sauce packed the most flavor, while I couldn’t tell which was their “brush fire” spicy sauce, as the spice level seemed the same as the others.
Overall, I probably should have ordered one of their appetizing-looking sandwiches, as I’m sure all the ingredients come together better like that rather than trying them individually. But I wasn’t tasting much smoke in the items I tried.

The brisket sandwich was great , service was really good, and the restaurant was very clean. Really good value for everything we got for lunch. We will come back again.

I can get better chicken tenders at canes next for cheaper
I love the barbecue here. For a place with counter service the food is excellent. Try the carolina sauce.

While the pork belly and brisket is still quite delicious, The ribs really fell off. I do not know if they changed the recipe, but in a years time the ribs went from dark rich smokey fall of the bone, to now being dry chewy and just disappointing. Witch is really ashame because when i moved here in 2021 it was the best bbq spot for good ribs in the area in my opinion. Now i wouldn't even think about ordering those dry and grey ribs anymore.
