Great brisket and unusual potato salad! Highly recommend for takeout and they have tables to eat in if needed. Free soft serve is a bonus!!

Kk was right, we loved it! 😂
Mentioned we were visiting from NC and this was the best looking BBQ. I absolutely enjoyed everything from the chili to the Mac! Got brisket, ribs, potato salad, Beans, coleslaw.... Wanted to try it all and there isn't anything bad I could say! Well...the spicy BBQ sauce was objectively spicy. Our southern tongues barely registered a spice, but the flavor was amazing!! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

This is the best smoked meat in the area, it is too bad they are now closed on Mondays as now it is unlikely that I will be able to eat here anymore.

Wonderful little spot with kind and friendly staff, generous portions and perfectly smoked meats. Will be telling friends to make the trip of anything for their included soft serve ice cream!

The brisket is wow..can't even explain it..delish! And the ribs..oh man! Meaty and tender. everything was good the beans and coleslaw! Can't wait to go back!
I wanted to share some honest feedback from my recent visit, as I believe every small business deserves a fair chance to grow.
The owner was incredibly pleasant and welcoming, which made a great first impression. The macaroni was tasty, and the chicken salad hit the spot. However, I had some concerns that I hope can be addressed. The ribs and brisket didn’t quite have the depth of flavor I’d expect from properly smoked meats. If they are being smoked as long as stated, they may need more time or a different method to bring out that signature BBQ richness.
The biggest letdown was the cornbread muffins. They appeared to be prepackaged and not fresh, which took away from the homemade feel I was hoping for. Living just a block away, I’ve never caught the scent of BBQ in the air, which makes me wonder if the meats are actually smoked on-site.
I had high hopes for this spot and would love to support a local business that delivers on authenticity. If you're open to feedback, I’d be happy to share more thoughts or revisit once some of these areas are improved.
