Amazing atmosphere and people. Jack is great to talk to and helpful with the menu choices when you are unsure of what to get. All the food is rich with flavor. Recommend this location to everyone.

Incredibly welcoming environment. Staff is very friendly. Jack especially makes you feel like you are an old friend. The old style lighting is also a wonderful touch. Highly recommended
December 2025
A wonderful place. If you are looking for delicious food with the rich smell of burning wood and friendly staff this is the place. The staff was really friendly, but more importantly, the food was delicious. We got the judge's sampler and everything was soo good. The ribs were extremely flavorful and tasty, the brisket was moist juicy and full of flavor, the chicken and pulled pork were also hits. We ate to our fill and really enjoyed it there. Next time I'm in Raleigh,...
