First time there. Atmosphere was very pleasant. Wait staff friendly, was attentive but not hanging over your shoulder. I ordered 1/4 chicken & ribs, sweet potatoes, salad. Had a side plate to put spot of all their sauces on. Was delicious, meat cooked to perfection. My was chicken breast and wing, very moist and flavorful. BF had 4 meat combo, brisket, chicken, ribs and beef tips, salad and fries. He said all were delicious and moist. He also tried all the sauces. My favorite was the Peach Habenero, his was a mix of Habenero hot and the Hot Honey. We will definitely go there again and we'll also use take out menu. Very nice place.

Ok so I'll start off this review in the best way i know how. I am a southern guy from the south. I travel the country for work and tried just about every barbecue I run across. So not so good some ok, with very few being great. I ordered a slab of ribs the smell was amazing so when I got to the car had to try them right away. The meat just melted off the bone in the way you would expect. The meat was glazed properly with juicy and tender meat under the glazing. The flavor was off the charts and the tenderness of the meat was amazing. I would definitely rank this spot in my top 5 of barbecue in the US. From me that is saying alot as I have eaten cooked and judged barbecue for most of my life on the weekends. So when I say there ribs are definitely worthy of over a 1 hour drive is saying something. The service was OK and the bartender was very polite with a positive attitude. It seems like a local spot thar is welcoming of others. If you have the time and chance I would definitely say stop by there and at least try the ribs. I can not rate anything else but the ribs I can. Enjoy relax and have some great ribs.

Best bbq restaurant in the area. Food was A+. Had the ribs and chicken combo with coleslaw and mashed sweet potatoes. Everything was great. Ribs were juicy, smokey, and fall off the bone tender. The chicken was amazing. Definitely not just boring old chicken. The coleslaw was creamy, crunchy and had a nice zip to it, excellent. The mashed sweet potatoes were delicious. The honey butter for the potatoes was a great touch. Good portion sizes. One thing I would criticize would be the decor is a bit dated and could use some updating. Another would be the pre dinner corn muffins were a little pale in color, small and we only had one per person
(2 people). Service was great. Very friendly and prompt.

The brisket was very good, cooked perfect. The ribs were also very moist and meaty.I got half a chicken but was to full to try it. It looks delicious.
The ribs were very good and falling off the bones. Didn't particularly have the smokey taste I was looking for. The Carolina BBQ sauce was good on the ribs. Really liked the garlic green beans and broccoli salad.

This place has the best ribs and bbq chicken ever! Today I was in the area and could not pass through town without stopping in… bought myself a bucket of rib tips and went home to enjoy… I did not stay because I had a very busy day.. I couldn’t believe this bucket served 4-6 people and only cost $55!!!!!
The restaurant had just opened and people were coming in pretty steadily…
My to go bucket wait was only about 15 minutes… not too bad, huh?!?!?!!!
Food was okay, service a little slow at first but it did pick up. Brisket had no flavor 😔
Chicken was small and dry- also, not a lot of flavor.
Piggy poutine was great though

Me and my family went over the weekend and it went past my expectations, the food was loved all around the table and we had a great time there. The ribs were really nice, being not too fatty, having plenty of meat, fall off the bone, and overall amazing. The chicken was also crispy and juicy. Our service was good too, having an upbeat, talkative waitress.
