I was a disappointed by the food as the reviews were very positive. My bbq chicken was chalky feeling in the mouth (indication of being over cooked), my brisket although flavorful was wayyyyy too salty! Every bite I had to chuck water behind. And the ribs were nothing special but tender. I'm hoping it was just a bad day and bad luck..... but it was a bad first impression for me. On the other hand the location is warm and inviting, and customer service was friendly. Big fan of the hushpuppies!

Like an old school Texas roadside dive BBQ joint… but clean… 😅

Really friendly and helpful staff.

The unsauced ribs were outstanding. Just enough chew to stay on the bone while eating… proper cook.

The brisket had potential but wasn’t 💯. The cut was good and the smoke ring was thick with a nicely seasoned soft bark, but it was a little on the dry side with exception of the fatty part. If it was flat cut instead of full cut I probably would have complained. The fat saved it. So I can’t say 5 stars.

I didn’t do sides or hush puppies, just meat but my friend enjoyed his.

Excellent tea…

I absolutely love this place because of their brisket so I am disappointed that I have to make this review of the food I get everytime I order. Today I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with fries and unfornuately my brisket is hard with no tenderness to it with no flavor except a ton of pepper. Thats all I taste. Normally the brisket is moist and has alot of flavor, almost melts in my mouth. Maybe it was a off day for the brisket. This isn't going to stop me from coming as I feel it was just a off day.

This place deserves more than 5 stars honestly. Walk in a the customer service and interaction was beyond amazing. They explained the menu and not rushed and were super nice.
Then the food came and if it’s your first time get the 3 meat plate. Just to try everything. Food was perfect. While eating they check on you and chat.
And then just the atmosphere. Everyone that came in knew each other and the staff welcomed them and just had everyday conversations. You gotta love that. Not just a sale. Absolutely love that and this place. My new go to place to eat.

I come here a couple of times a month with a buddy, and we get some of the greatest country food ever made. The prices are reasonable. The service is excellent.

Breakfast was so good! I usually order my food a specific way but since we hadn't been here in a long time I wanted to see what the norm was. We ordered the pancake plate and were NOT disappointed! Everything was cooked perfectly for me. We will be definitely be back for breakfast and will have to try lunch/dinner. Also, the upgrades look great!
