We’ve driven by this place many times, each time commenting on the signage, barbecue, ribs and so forth. Today we finally gave it a try. We started our adventure by scoring a parking spot right by the door! (One of us has a limited number of steps that can be taken before sitting is required.) upon entering, the visual ambience is immediately eye-catching. Taxidermy is plentiful! We chose a table close to the door, allowing for our dinner friends to see us easily. There was a post right at the corner of the table, which I chose to call Malone. We were greeted quickly by a couple of very young people, who were choosing to spend part of their vacation helping in the restaurant. Very nice. They got our water, asked about drinks and brought us menus. We had all four been there a while before someone asked whether or not we were ready to order. (I think the visiting help was maybe taking some of the routine out of the service.) we placed our orders and after a bit of a wait, not a long wait, our food was delivered by multiple employees, all at the same time. I thought the food was pretty good, as did the rest of our party. My brisket was ranging from tender to tough, and the chicken was kind of dry. I had coleslaw that was good, Bama Beans, which were good and corn pie. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.

We visited this restaurant hoping for a good barbecue meal, but the experience was a complete disaster from start to finish.
The service was abysmal. We were left waiting for over 30 minutes before a server even acknowledged our table. Once we finally placed our order, it took another 45 minutes for the food to arrive, and to make matters worse, it was the wrong order.
When our correct meals finally did come out, the portions were ridiculously small. The sides, like the coleslaw and beans, were served in tiny condiment cups, and the handful of fries we got looked like they were rationed.
But the worst part was the food itself. The barbecue was beyond disappointing. The brisket had no smoke ring and tasted bland, the ribs were dry and completely flavorless, and the pulled pork was a fatty, mushy mess. Nothing we ate tasted like it had been properly smoked. Honestly, a McRib from McDonald's has more flavor and is a better example of barbecue than what we were served.
The only redeeming part of the entire meal was the tootsie rolls that came with the check. Save your money and your time—there are countless better barbecue options out there.

The service here was an absolute circus. We waited for 35 minutes before the wait staff even acknowledged us. An hour and 15 minutes into our arrival, they brought us the wrong food, never offered us drink refills and never gave us silverware to eat with. The food was super disappointing too. They ran out of proteins so we had to reorder which delayed our meal. Nothing had a smoke flavor. It all tasted like it was boiled in water. The portion size for the price was disappointing as well. This is my second visit here (as I figured I'd give it another chance) and it will be my last. Porky Butt's is by far a better option.

Our first time eating here was pretty bad - we waited over an hour to get our food, which was cold and not that great.
(The server also dropped my debit card and lost it down a vent, but that’s neither here nor there)
We came back today, hoping it would have gotten better - and sadly it was poor all the way around. The service was really bad - like really, really bad. It took a long time just to get water, and then our server didn’t come take our order for another 30 minutes.
It wasnt busy - maybe half full, and it looked like there was enough staff to serve the room. But for whatever reason, our server was allergic to coming to our table.
Once we got the correct food delivered (the first order that was brought to us was someone else’s), it was cold and undercooked.
We’re tried this place twice - most likely won’t be a third attempt :)

Very tasty BBQ without too much smoke. Their sauce choices are very good, Whiskey is my favorite as it is sweet and spicy but not hot. Try the St Louis style ribs if you like your ribs very meaty.

Great BBQ, great atmosphere.
Update: Lunch today had very dry pork, it felt like it had been under the lights for a long time. It felt like the food had slipped.

Boyd & Charlies was delicious. Wings were perfect and crispy, Sweet chili sauce and Teriyaki sauce was so yummy. Two meat combo, ribs and pulled pork was absolutely perfection! Service was as always great!

After previously being disappointed, we gave it another try. So much better! The service and food were great. Our little girl loved looking at all of the different animals!
