We went 7/4/26 at 4pm. Had Famous Daves been open we would have eaten there. Jim's was okay but the spareribs were overdone and salty. They only come one way. We will not be going back. Too bad.

My wife and I stopped by this afternoon for our first visit. If I could give them a 10 star review I would. We were greeted with huge smiles and a welcoming spirit from all the staff. Since we had never eaten there, I asked an employee for his recommendation and he turned out to be one of the managers named Trent. He was absolutely fabulous and kind and spoke to us for quite some time and made us feel like family instead of customers. He gave us solid recommendations and we tried the baby back ribs and smoked Turkey plates. The ribs were amazing to say the least but let me tell you about the smoked Turkey….it was banging. Best Turkey I’ve ever eaten. Hands down. The General Manager, Jeremy, also came and greeted us and told us about the restaurant and their philosophy, nothing frozen, and not even a microwave in the restaurant, everything is fresh made in house. He recommended the collards and macaroni and cheese. The collards were amazingly tender and just the right amount of spice, this was soul food level. Mac and Cheese, incredible. We acted like we had not eaten in a week and also got the potato salad and Cole slaw. The potato salad was like what I remember as a kid, a mustard based that made me smile. The cole slaw was a apple cider vinegar and sugar based and tasted like they made it just fresh just for us. And let’s don’t forget the cheese corn bread/biscuits that were moist and delicious. And I know that this is a long post and I’ve bragged on the food and how incredible it was but I will have to say, even as amazing as our meal was, the staff was even more amazing. We literally felt like we were the most valued customers because of the kindness and friendliness of the staff. 10 out of 10 experience all the way around. And we left with banana pudding and lemon meringue pie and it may be 2 days before I could possibly eat again. Thank you to Trent and Jeremy for a wonderful experience.

Good was good, but a little overpriced. Service was adequate. They ran out of unsweet tea and since it was late, didn't appear to be making anymore. It can be a little noisy and hard to hear, but overall a good experience.

Whoever gave less than 5 stars simply does not know what food should taste like. Service? Amazing. Atmosphere? On Point. Food? Out of this world. Really. I've lived all over the country and been in culinary. The ribs and brisket are hands down the best thing I've ever eaten. I live in KY and passing through. I will absolutely drive 3 hours for this meal again. I got the pick 2 and upgraded both meats to Brisket (marbled, I love the fat veining but next I will try the lean cut because it seems like it will still be so juicy even lean) and the ribs. The ribs come off the bone easily but don't fall off. It mastery the balance the pit master achieved. The Brisket? It melts in your mouth unlike any meat I've ever had. So good, no sauce needed. However, the mango habanero gives it another flavor dynamic that is dynomite. Sides were the backed beans that were amazingly perfect and a side salad. It has almonds, so if you are allergic, let them know. Paid $45 with an 18% tip but I left more on the table. Worth every penny and am debating getting more to-go. They also bring out cheesy cornbread that is to die for. 10/10 to the point they should open a pit master school.
