The bbq sauce is actually really terrible. The brisket reminded me of Sadler smokehouse pre packaged brisket you get at Wal-Mart. The smoked bologna if that is what it really was. It is terrible. Smoked bologna is the easiest to do. Everything at this restraunt seemed off as far as barbacue goes. It all seemed as if everything came from a processed type supplier and was prepared to be sold. BBQ is an art to prepare, kinda like a Bob Ross painting. This place was definitely like a Pablo Picasso painting! Funky in every way.

Went there at 6:15 to grab a couple racks with some sides, but was told they weren't serving anymore. They close at 7. Why post hours if you're not going to stick to them? I usually eat here 2 to 3 times a month, but from now on , I'll go to Selmer instead.

They served me the worst ribs I’ve ever I ever seen or had. They smelled and tasted like Old Grease. I smelled smoke in the parking lot but no smoke was in these ribs. The ribs looked strange too. Even my Tea was terrible. SEE MY PICTURE!! This restaurant should be ashamed of themselve giving out this garbage. They tried to kill me!!

We go for the brisket burger or loaded piggy tails. Otherwise, we haven't found much on the menu we go back for or that is memorable. Consistency isnt a priority, as it seems they often leave things off of burgers or fries, that the menu describes being on them. Like grilled onions on our brisket burger last time we were there. It is supposed to have grilled onions according to the menu. They only have premade sweet tea in the machines and no lemons other than juice packs for it. I think just offering homemade tea would be a huge advantage, as I would return twice as often if I knew there was a good burger and a cold lemony tea, made in house, to enjoy together. There is hardly ever anyone one dining in, so seating is never a problem. We sit at a booth, it's clean and comfortable, and usually a nice place for lunch.

Food was okay. Ribs didn't have much smoke flavor, like they had been boiled and then finished off on the bbq, they were good though. Chicken sandwich was average and pulled pork was good. Staff were very friendly and cautioned us on the mac and cheese. It's Kraft not home made, that was disappointing.
