“As a BBQ connoisseur, I've come to know the difference between good BBQ and great BBQ. I'll have to come in and try additional things before I fully label it, but from my first trip, it's definitely on the cusp of great BBQ. When I make my own briskets, ribs, pork, chicken, etc. I tend to stick to a very strong smoke profile and most places you can barely taste that anything has smoke to it. The brisket here is definitely done more correctly than any other place I have been in Michigan. Great flavor, great smoke profile, great sauces. Waitress was really awesome in explaining the different offerings, beer selections, and specials. Fries did taste like they were under the heat lamp too long but the wife's food didn't get prepared due to a printer malfunction, no problem, not docking points for that.My only take away here was the noise level. Huge 20 top sitting in the middle of the dining room made it horrible getting around and the noise from a bunch of people getting smashed and loudly cackling was unbearable at times. My wife and I both left with a headache. Some noise dampening would go along way. Seems that the way it is setup the noise just carries. Big parties should be isolated when possible. Looked like there was an additional room that could have accommodated that but either way, it was just too loud in that middle room.“
“This place is a hidden gem! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious and generous portions. I had the pulled pork, smoked chicken sandwich, and decatur tator bowl with pulled pork. All were cooked to perfection. They also have a great selection of sides, all with that classic Southern flavor. And to top it all off, they have a cool little store in the front where you can buy their rubs and seasonings and swag so you can recreate their magic at home. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Alabama BBQ experience!“
“Absolutely the best food we've had in a hot minute. We were skeptical at first, and thought it was like all the other restaurants, and we were wrong. Food was delicious, hot, and service was great! Definitely coming back here if we end up in the area again.Kid-friendliness: Kids are most definitely welcome here.“
