Unfortunately we had poor quality food. Onion rings weren't cooked through, butter beans were old, potato salad was old or had been frozen, hamburger was poor quality thin patty that tasted odd like a McDonald's . Pork was very good .

Whole crew got sick. The Ribs were trash, The rice and gravy was pretty gross. The green beans were ok if your starving. The order was messed up but, I'm sure the kid was new. Everyone was polite that's the only good thing I can speak about the place is the front end staff was excellent.

Food was absolutely terrible! And the menu had nothing to say about the food and with the fact their only “barbecue sauce” is just drenching EVERYTHING in mustard, fries,baked beans, ribs, pulled pork with no directions and general names like “big joe” that has nothing to do with what being served.

It was clean and the people seemed nice enough but their pork tasted like it came in a bag from the food service.

I had the Big Joe's Basket (Pulled Pork Sandwich, French Fries & 1 Onion Ring (which was HUGE)). Everything was great and what I expected from a Southern barbecue restaurant. I would definitely order from there again. I'm visiting from CT, so the barbecue restaurants are far and few between.

Not sure what happened but the food is not as good as it used to be. Got our order wrong as well.
Going to be a while before we venture back to this restaurant.

This was our first time at this BBQ place. When we pulled up to the drive thru about 6:15pm majority of the menu items were gone so we ordered 2 1/2 lb pulled pork. We waited in line almost 1/2 hour before getting our food. The pulled pork was delicious to say the least. We will go back again
