Unfortunately the owners have changed the menu. There's not as many choices. The ribs and chicken strips were very disappointing and very salty. They need to go back to how the ribs were before. Now they're tough and greasy. The chicken strips were like fried chicken and also very greasy. I use to love this place and would come from Seymour to eat here. I did tell the waitress and hostess. They apologized but it's not like they cooked the food. Unfortunately we probably won't be back.

The food was great but everything came out at once. We felt very rushed and couldn’t enjoy anything. We had just started on our main course when we were asked if we needed boxes and were handed a check. Personally I like to enjoy my appetizer and if the salad comes, that’s fine but now you’ve got hot food getting cold because you haven’t even started your salad.
Again, food was great but if you are looking for a slow and relaxing night out, this is not your place.

Wonderful spot, professional staff, quick order-eat time, and not half bad pricing, they don’t check on the table but once an hour until they bring the bill, good spot though!

New owner is cullinary graduate, has improved the quality of the BBQ! Smoked turkey, pork, and ribs where excellent! If your hungry the BBQ nachos portion size is very generous!

Catfish was great! Had a very friendly server. Only complaint it was too cold, even asked if they could turn up the heat.

The ribs were tough and tasted undercooked.
The catfish was good but there was only 2 small pieces of fish on the rib and fish dinner.
The waiter wasn't very good at making sure we were taken care of. On

For one my husband has food poisoning from this place!
90% of us locals around here will tell you it’s NOT a good place to eat, we thought we would give it another shot and boy do i wish we wouldn’t have.
Our waitress came to ask for our orders and when told i didn’t know what my husband wanted he hadn’t even been able to look at the menu yet so we would wait till he got back as soon as he sat back down she asked again and was told the same we hadn’t even had a chance to look at the menu she seemed pretty irritated. the bbq sauce is something else it is so bad and we could even hear others around us complaining about the catfish. NEVER eating here again

Excellent Catfish dinner! Go with the potato wedges 👍!
I wished I’d seen the pickled green tomatoes they sell in a jar, I’d bought one to have with my catfish.👍👍
