First time trying this place today as we live locally and a huge BBQ fan. Starting off, we ordered online, process was quick and simple. Walked in 10 minutes later around lunch time and was greeted by a very nice young lady at the cash register. Great eye contact, smile and very polite. Another lady behind the counter making the food, both were quite busy, but one thing that stood out was there team work calling things out to one another, and helping one another complete the orders and it wasn't just on one person. Impressed by the communication and ability to work great together as a team under a busy hour. Now to the food..... The prices are average to the usual prices for BBQ food in the surrounding area, so they do keep there prices competitive with local businesses which is good. We got 2 of the 7oz Pulled Pork Sandwiches, both with the NC BBQ sauce, the meat was extremely flavorful and moist and pretty much fell apart in your mouth. The NC BBQ sauce was delicious, with a bit of heat and a nice hit of vinegar and spices, which really mixed well with the pork. The bun was soft and warm and fresh. We also got the Green Beans, which had a hint of heat but not much, some excellent flavors mixed in and also had a few small slices of potatoes in there. The potatoes were done perfectly, not mushy or overdone to cause them to fall apart, and well infused in the juices so it was a burst of flavor in your mouth when biting into it. We also got the Baked Beans which are a must for a BBQ. The Baked beans were delicious, mixed in a very savory sauce that was bursting with a good amount of flavor, with little sliced onions mixed into it. The coleslaw came with both of the Pulled Pork Sandwiches and it was a bit different then the usual we have around here, however it was very creamy and flavorful of which was well enjoyed. All in all this place was excellent, from the ordering process online, to the friendly and hard working staff that I encountered when entering the facility with fresh smiles on the faces, to the outstanding food that was bursting with flavors. Me and my wife highly recommend this place if you enjoy good BBQ food that makes your mouth water. We plan on coming back and trying more varieties of the food to continue updating this review. Well done and thank you for a great tasteful lunch!

Food was very good. The fried chicken was delicious. The wedges were a bit salty but good as well. The 5oz pulled pork sandwich with the N.C. bbq sauce was amazing. As was the macaroni and cheese. Have been here a few times. Nice little hidden gem.

OK, so we ordered a slab of ribs and a chicken breast by the time we got up to get our food they didn’t have any chicken after we had already paid so they gave us brisket instead. You could tell that the lady working there was very stressed and she had a couple of kids working there helping her that were also stressed but they made it right by giving us our meet in exchange for the chicken. Tensions were a little bit high, but I would definitely be back. The food is so good.

Is it the best BBQ ever? No. Is it worth getting off the highway and trying their ribs? Yes! Cole slaw is great too.

The pulled pork actually tastes like real NC barbeque. The fried chicken was well seasoned, crispy, and moist on the inside. Collards were tangy and a hint of hot sauce . Friendly service. A good find for when i venture down to Upper Marlboro.

This has been an awesome barbecue place for years. From Rick, the previous owners to the current ones, the food is made fresh, tastes great, and is reasonably priced. They are nothing but friendly and provide great customer service. Highly recommend!

A very limited menu, prices are higher than I'd pay, no place to sit to wait for your food or to eat your food. I purchased a drink and left.

The food was fantastic. Definitely can tell it's cooked with love like your mom or grandma would. The staff were very friendly. Great service. Please note call ahead to order because they're so good they literally will sell out but well worth. Not to pricey either. You definitely get your money's worth.
