Food was AMAZING! Tried a couple sampler plates and appetizers. The dip sampler appetizer was delicious with the spicy crackers. Brisket was really good! Loved all of the sauce choices. We sat outside which was too noisy with the road so close. Inside could use some sprucing up - but you cannot beat the food!

Just opened a new location down the street. We ordered some wings (KC sauce) and fried green tomatoes. We ordered wings because they were out of burnt ends. The wings were huge and good and smoky. We received nine wings, eight were huge and one dinky (normal) size. Unfortunately the fried green tomatoes were not very good. They were too juicy and the tomatoes themselves were very tough, we ended up using a fork and knife to eat them.Service was great and all who I can into contact with were very nice and helpful.Looks like it will be a great place to watch a game with their University of Tennessee pics. Nice bar with a good variety of eight on tap beers. Full bar service (the hard stuff) will be ready in a couple of weeks!

I thought the food was pretty good. They forgot the banana pudding we ordered. They did the same thing the last time we ordered.

The employees stole the show on this experience. Everyone was wonderful and very helpful. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, a coleslaw and a chocolate chip cookie. The pulled pork sandwich was nice and large just lacking enough seasoning. The coleslaw was fine. The cookie was dry and hard and crumbly. I probably won't go back because it's out of my way. I really wanted to try it because I had seen the reviews. However, it was just any old barbecue. In my opinion, in order to keep business going there needs to be something special. In order to keep repeat customers.

Very tasty meats and BBQ sauces. Update: I tried the ribs today. My taste buds were singing "Ah, sweet mystery of life . . ."!

Not gonna lie: this place looks a bit sketch outside. Went based on the reviews, and Yelpers once again you didn't disappoint. This may be the best bbq I've had- and I've had a lot of bbq. It appears to be a cottage operation inside but man they know what they are doing in the kitchen. The pork was both perfectly roasted and moist. The sides were excellent and the choice of different bbq sauces was nice. Definitely will be back.

First off took 5 minutes of standing up front watching 5 workers looking at there phones before they got the energy to look up and sit me downFor 15 bucks a meal it's not worth it shit place to eat. Won't be going. Back.

Great little BBQ spot kinda in the middle of nowhere. Great pork BBQ sandwich and fries. If you're gonna eat it on the go ask for extra napkins!

Portions rather small. A small container of potato salad & greens only had enough for 1 or 2 paddies but otherwise everything was good.
