DO NOT EAT HERE! We went hoping it was half as good as Smokin Joe's had been. It isn't. To be fair they were understaffed but, they weren't that busy. We waited 30min just to put out name on the list, another 45min to be seated and over an hour after that to get our food. And it was awful. Chain restaurants have much better BBQ and the burgers were dry. One of the worst dining experiences I've had.
My 6 year old son and I shared a half rack of ribs and double fries. It was very good! The portion size was huge. Great place.
The waitress was friendly as can be. The portion sizes were great. The food was amazing! From the time we sat down till the time we left was a great experience.
The food and service here was great.
Waited 15 minutes to be sat at a table. After being sat at a table, waited another 15 minutes and no one came. We had concerns about cleanliness of the establishment. Ended up leaving. 30 minutes of our life we will never get back.
Stopped in for a quick lunch-service was fast and pork sandwich was one of the best I’ve had in a while. It was served hot and their spicy barbecue had a perfect twang to it and was not really spicy.
The food and staff is awesome! Highly recommend!
I had a rack of ribs that were falling off the bone and delicious with any of the 3 types of BBQ sauce you get. The potato salad was pretty good along with the onion rings. We also got a sampler platter of appetizers that consisted of the pigskins, cheese sticks, and fried green tomatoes. All of these were outstanding. My girlfriend had the brisket which was very good along with the mac and cheese and sweet potato which she really liked
We did not have a very good experience. The temperature was 64° inside - apparently the cooking staff gets hot. I’m not a fan of eating with a coat on. Food was not great. $9.00 for fried mushrooms (typical cheap frozen type) and there were 9 mushrooms to share. The burger was nothing to brag about, and lettuce, tomato, pickles cost .25 each, and the server never mentioned that. Fish was not good either. Sorry, we were very disappointed
Food was good. I had the ribs, sweet potato and Mac n cheese.

Family of 4 and not a bad meal. The brisket was awesome. Had our son eating food he normally doesn’t like. Definitely will be back
The steak is the best steak hands down I definitely recommend it .Me and my family will definitely be back and the waitress was top notch she made sure we had everything we wanted and was so nice.
We ordered from here Oct.16th 2024, the food was not good. I ordered the half chicken, potato salad and cowboy beans. I got a dried out smoke chicken breast about the side of a McDonalds hamburger patty, you can't eat everybody's potato salad and this proved it, but the cowboy beans was good. Mind you when I ordered the half chicken no one told me they didn't have it, they just gave me what they wanted to give me. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich, onion rings and corn nuggets. Our dog Tucker loved the sandwich but then again he'll eat anything, the onion rings were good and so was the corn nuggets. So we spent $38 on cowboy beans, corn nuggets and union rings. I DO NOT Recommend this place for good BBQ anything.
LOVE this place, we drove by a couple times during our stay because it was empty, stopped Saturday night 10/26 because it WAS empty and was blown away. The ribs were HUGE and so tender, corn nuggets were amazing, Mac and cheese, service, brisket, and Jeeze the SAUCES. Will be back a lot

Ordered to go. Pulled pork was like finely ground up mush....no flavor.....half chicken was the size of a Cornish hen and was tasteless.....baked potatoe was like a rock.....didn't receive salad dressing for salad.....no eating utensils or napkins. I would stay away if possible
