“We had a lot of fun here and will definitely be back, but I admit the meal was a bit stressful for me alone with my two tween/teen boys.We did the barbecue format. The server was attentive to come back and ask what we needed and such, but the way the food is brought at this location involves the raw plates just being dropped at the table. I found myself trying to manage sauces/spices that we had gotten from the bar, raw meat, cooked meat, and everything else in close proximity. It was easy to get confused in the moment and forget about which plates and utensils had touched raw food versus which ones had only touched cooked food increasing the risk of cross contamination. I feel like if I go again on a busy night where the server has many tables to attend to, that I need to set up a system from the start to help account for that.It is almost 48 hours later and no one got sick though. So maybe I am worrying too much over nothing. I will say though that I am fairly chill about things like this, and if it was worrying me a little bit, then I know someone who is very much about food safety would have a harder time with it.My only other complaint is that right up front the server had to give this entire speech about how we were limited to 120 minutes at the table, we weren't allowed to get food that we didn't end up eating, etc. I understand that it these things are to prevent abuse, but it was a bit heavy-handed and I think the restaurant could say it less so. It was also a bit annoying that the entire table has to pick either KBBQ or hot pot. You're paying $30+ a head, is there really that big of a concern to offer both? (You can get both for an extra surcharge per head)Despite all these nitpicks, as you can see, my rating is still very good. I will definitely return. With a bit of smoothing out of the process on their side, it could easily be a 5/5 experience though.“

“If you are a BBQ lover this place this place will not disappoint. The location is cool they have indoor dining and outdoor as well. The staff are friendly and check on you often. But the winner is the food. We ordered the Pig Out which you can choose 4 proteins and 2 sides. We ordered 2 1/2 rack of ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The ribs were fall off the bone. The pulled pork was really good. The brisket had a mixture or lean and fatty which was great! Also included hash puppies and some pickles. For our 2 side was the Mac and Chesse which definitely was my favorite and some Cole Slaw which was good. Definitely has to be one of my new favorite BBQ spots now.“

“I have been pasting this eatery for months. It always seems crowded, so I said the food must be good. So I looked them up on Google Map an the reviews was amazing. Outside decor was not so amazing. So after church I decided not to cook n stopped n ordered a rib, hash n rice potato salad n corn nuggets dinner with peach cobbler. The dinner was not disappointed very GOOD. However the peach cobbler wasn't.The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get.I would recommend this establishment to everyone.Karen“

They have a very good selection and the catfish is very good. Their bar be que is also pretty good, a must try again in my opinion is the hash and rice, they make it the way it supposed to be made.“

“This was my family's FIRST time eating here. . The older lady at the front was amazingly super friendly. I'm not a BBQ fan, but I tried it for my family. . My kids absolutely LOVED everything about this place. . The bar stayed full and there was definitely a line at the door the whole time which was a good sign. .Reading the reviews, I would say some of these reviews are irrelevant. . The food was definitely hot and fresh . . The "server" providing your drinks at the fountain is no different than a regular server bringing you a drink to your table, as she kept a glove on the WHOLE time. . You were able to enjoy your meal in peace without any bother or having to answer a regular server. . You got up as many times as you wanted to get food and a drink as they never turned you away!For my first BBQ buffet, I have to definitely give it a round of applause!!!! I had 2 teens, 2 babies & 2 adults and it was UNDER $50 for lunch/dinner. . That's less than cookout and McDonald's!!!!We WILL be back. . Next time with more people!!!!“

“This was our first time getting Korean Hot Pot and BBQ. We had a fantastic time.Our server Phillip was incredible. He took the time to explain everything to us, answered our questions, and kept checking in on us throughout the meal.The selection of seafood and meat was impressive, and we left stuffed and happy. The ability to try very small portions of new things was a serious bonus.I was worried about going on a Saturday night, but we had no wait. We will definitely be back.“

Buffet is a little more limited than some other places but it had enough variety to please almost anyone. I loved the hush puppies with a touch of sweetness. I also appreciated they had fried pork skins.“

“We had a good time at green's barbecue. We actually was club hopping that night of my sister's 60 of birthday. So that was the second club that we went to. All we did was dance and have drinks. It also was a nice place to go to. The atmosphere was pretty cool.Parking: They had 2 locations for parking. So getting a park and spot was relatively easy the police present made it even more safe and secure.Wheelchair accessibility: It's definitely wheel chair accessible“

“Tried this place for the first time and enjoyed every bit of it! The food was amazing, service great, but the parking is going to be a hassle. Lol. We started with the smoked wings that were damn good. I had the 2 meat platter with turkey and pulled pork, cucumber and tomatoe salad and Brunswick stew. My mate had the fried ribs with hash and rice. I had to add a little salt and pepper to the stew, but it was still good. I'm not a fan of Alabama white sauce either. That would probably be the only thing I'll take off the fried ribs. Oh and I need more that two pieces of pickles!???. Definitely will visit again!“
