About Picnic

Picnic is a highly recommended barbecue restaurant known for its delicious food, especially the brisket, which many customers find very tasty. The service is friendly and great, with a staff that is super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including the popular Gumbo, hush puppies, and slaw, which some diners wish had more ground pepper. The brisket sandwich is cooked perfectly, and the sauce on top makes it superb. The hush puppies are fresh and buttery, while the slaw is surprisingly delightful for many. Picnic also caters to vegetarian preferences, ensuring everyone can find something delicious. While the smoked pork may be a bit dry for some, this can be easily remedied with some barbecue sauce. The dining area is very clean, and the relaxed atmosphere, set by the music, makes Picnic a favorite among many. Customers praise the friendly staff, top-tier service, and the exceptional quality of the smoked meats, including the BBQ and brisket, as well as the homemade side dishes like the potato salad and collard greens. The fried catfish sandwich and fried chicken are also highly recommended. Picnic offers both indoor and outdoor dining options, as well as a full-service bar, and the convenience of pre-ordering takeout for a specific pickup time. Visitors often enjoy the authentic and comfortable atmosphere, making dining in quite enjoyable. Many customers are impressed with the excellent cooks, great drink selection, and attentive service, especially when sitting outside and enjoying a BBQ sandwich, cole slaw, and hush puppies with sides like fries or fried okra.
