Awesome experience, service, and even better food, Their bbq sauces are amazing, the bbq was next level and the burgers were great! Everything we had was very good and served quickly. The appetizer was huge, could’ve easily been our whole dinner. I recommend the loaded potato bites! Delicious! First time eating there, won’t be the last.

If you don't know!.....you should, this place is top notch real deal BBQ. I have had alot of BBQ in the US, and this is tied with the best I have ever had. Had the big Daddy plater and the portion was way more than you can imagine. Big pile of pulled pork two big wide pieces of brisket and three very big baby back ribs, with 2 sides. The smoke flavor was very mild I'm guessing it was done with Oak. Not over salted, seasoning was not overpowering which let the smoke and meat shine. Great staff, I can't believe there was not a line around the block for this place. Keep it up.

I had a truly outstanding pulled pork sandwich. Just pork on a bun, but wow. Such wonderful flavor, texture, and so juicy!

They have the best burger around. Add the pepper jelly and oh my goodness so good.

Got SOAKED riding the Dragon Slayer and stopped in to get dry and get some great grub. Food was really good, nice portions and well prepared. Reasonable prices too. Very friendly owner and staff. I got the pulled pork plate with fries and beans, side were excellent. BBQ sauce was really good but if I could say one thing, I would like an option for sauce that had a tad more zip. In fairness, they may have it, I didn't ask.

For the area, this place was pretty good. I had the pulled pork nachos and would order again. The rest of the family ordered the pulled pork sandwich and there was enough meat on that sandwich for two people.

We were on a motorcycle trip and stopped in to check the restaurant out. The food was wonderful and so was the staff. I would highly recommend this location!

We've eaten here before and have loved it. Went on a Sunday evening around 4pm. Only one waiter that was also the cashier. He did the best he could under the circumstances. They had no desserts and had run out of their daily special.

I am from Georgia and have family in Big Stone Gap. I’ve had a lot of Q all over the southeast. This is one of my most favorites! The fried green tomatoes are the best! The brisket is so so good and the Mac n cheese too! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to be back around there before Thanksgiving. I hope you’re open 🙏🏼 gonna order some food to go!

We get a full rack of ribs once a week- it’s our absolute favorite- you’ve never had better ribs anywhere in your life. EVER. Baked beans are also outrageously declicious. Haven’t been able to get past the ribs to try the other menu items, but I am certain they will check out.
