Overall, great spot with great BBQ. I am very biased as I love my “off the beaten path” BBQ spots!We had a large group and the Large Family Pack was good but we did end up needing a little extra. They said it could be for 8 people and we had 10 so we knew we were pushing it.We tried a large mix of brisket, chicken, ribs, regular sausage, and turkey. Everyone agreed that the meats were great!For the sides, we tried the green beans, okra, fries, mac-n-cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw. The group favorite were the green beans. I really liked the potato salad and fries too. For me, the mac-n-cheese was too soupy. Still good but probably not a side I would get again.If you choose to visit, I hope you enjoy!Vegetarian options: I mean, I shouldn’t have to say it but if you are a vegetarian do NOT visit a BBQ joint.

First time. Pork Ribs were meaty and tasty. BBQ Sauce added to the flavor. And , the green bean side was delicious.

Exceptional barbeque, friendly and fast service and seating inside or out. My husband had the two meat plate with pinto beans, Mac and cheese, Jalapeno sausage and brisket. They asked how he wanted the brisket and I believe offered 4 different ways. I had the Baked potato with chopped beef and it was a nice size with plenty of toppings. Yummy and large enough to bring some home. Their barbeque sauce is flavorful and I heard later that you could ask for the hot version. We'll be back!

Stopped by after a Tough Mudder race. We were looking for different place but it was closed. I'm so glad it was! We popped in and I had a loaded baked potato and my husband had a delicious cheese burger with fries and okra. All of the food was great. We tried our best to eat it all, but had to throw in the towel. Stuffed!

I love this little restaurant. It has a good, small town feel with friendly service. I have been stopping here for a few years now and I always get the same things. The smoked chicken is delicious! It is always perfectly cooked and in my opinion not over smoked but that’s a personal preference. The jalapeño corn bread is fantastic and it’s a fun Texas shape. Don’t forget to ask for some of their whipped butter to go on top. The mac and cheese is nice and creamy. You might as well buy a bottle of BBQ sauce while you’re there or you’ll be sorry you didn’t. It’s outstanding.

Small town Eatery with darn good BBQ. I enjoyed the good customer service. Prices not so much.

Food was just okay. Didn't have a lot of flavor without the sauce. The sauce was good, but decent bbq shouldn't need sauce. I likely won't be back.

This is the best BBQ around. I recently hired them to cater a birthday party and it was amazing. They served it and took care of everything, very professional, fantastic food, highly recommend.
