Pulled pork and bbq sauce was good, however, that’s about where it ends. The baked beans tasted like teriyaki, the mac and cheese was bland, and the banana pudding was more disappointing than getting your socks wet. Hate to be down on a local business, but it was not

Their food was catered for a church event. It all tasted very good. Everyone was served a good portion; other catering served small portions, Cox made sure they had enough food to go around. The people were friendly.Kid-friendliness: My small children enjoyed the food and ate everything on their plate.

We were passing through and wanted to stop somewhere local, and we're glad we did. The food here was amazing, and was some of most affordable BBQ we've had in recent memory. The owner was running the counter and back of house and you can tell he really loves his food. We had the vinegar sauce and it had such great flavor, all the meat was smoked perfectly and nothing was dry. Highly recommend this place.

Went here for the first time yesterday. Food was amazing. The Brisket Tacos are well worth your time and a great value at $11.Don’t come here to eat in. Either get delivery or take out.

The entire meal was amazing!!!! My husband can’t stop talking about the brisket!!!! The barbecue with the sauces and slaw made the best sandwiches. The Mac and cheese was great!!! Loved the baked beans as always. Thank you so much for helping our family celebrate a new baby with a delicious meal! Great service too!!!

My husband and I brought home a rack of ribs to enjoy for dinner. They were fall off the bone tender with a Memphis Rub. Soooo delicious! We picked it up earlier in the day and just threw the rack on the grill for a couple of minutes on each side to heat it up. Very friendly service, the owner thanked us for stopping by. Always nice to be appreciated as customers. We'll definitely be back.

Disappointing, I feel bad because the guy was nice and it looked like a struggling small business so I REALLY wanted to like the food. But it was honestly awful. The chicken tacos tasted like beef jerky, I don't even know how you manage that. And the baked beans tasted like vegetable soup. I am so serious if I was blindfolded I would be 100% convinced that's what I was eating. Sweet tea was great though. I don't know, I really wish nothing but the best for this business but I won't be going again.

Delicious food! Super friendly owner and helpful with my dairy allergy. Place is super small and hard to find but worth the trip. Mostly take out, some outdoor seating. I highly recommend the hash and rice, baked beans are more savory than sweet but so good, and the tangy sauce! My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and said it was real deal Delicious with so many flavor levels.

We got a brisket plate and BBQ plate, the brisket was not that good and it was tough, the red sauce was just tomato sauce and liquid smoke, the pulled pork tasted old and the mustard sauce was not to bad.

No one else was in the building. Just us & a worker. She microwaved something - either the brisket or the pork. (EDIT TO ADD) It wasn't that we didn't see a chef. We HEARD the microwave door open and close and HEARD the buttons beep. (End EDIT) The red sauce tasted like a dolled up tomato paste. The baked beans were not good. They had a weird taste. The macaroni and cheese was incredibly bland. The pork tasted old & dry. The yellow sauce was extremely heavy on vinegar. The brisket was tough - I had to use a knife on it.

The guy was very nice but the food was underwhelming. No flavor and the red sauce is more of a tomato paste which I really wanted the sweet sauce. Did I mention no flavor?? Had to drown it in salt and pepper. I came off the strength of the reviews but didn’t have a bbq taste at all.. very bland

This is some dang good barbecue it's opened Thursday - Saturday. It was hands down some of the best smoked pork I got the inferno tacos with coleslaw they weren't over powering spicy but a solid heat with that smoky taste, I got some pie it was good too. But nothing compares to the barbecue. Plus they load up on the portions.
