This place was fantastic. The wait staff were all nice and attentive. It was well lite and nice setup. The food was delicious from the TOTschos ( tater tots with cheese, pulled pork, cole slaw and sauce) smoked wings platter was excellent and huge with mac and cheese and cornbread to my 3 meat platter with pulled pork, smoked brisket and smoked wings with mac and cheese, green beans, cole slaw and cornbread 😋. Dessert - nanners pudding delicious. We left with more food than we ate.
Excellent BBQ and burgers at an easy to miss location on the edge of campus. The brisket and pulled pork were near perfect. Outdoor seating available. Plastic flatware or not, recommended!
We stopped here on our way to the tech football camp and I cant say enough about how great the food and service was. The outdoor seating is perfect for any day of the week. My entire family loved everything. I suggest the grilled veggies as a side. You wont be disappointed.
Thank you for such a great experience. Hope to be back soon!

Had the pulled chicken and it had good flavor, not real Smokey, a bit dry. Coleslaw was different and not to my liking, baked beans were average and green beans seemed bland and fresh from the can.

They are closed today and don't tell you as such. Two years in a row the same weekend. Can't even take the time to post anything anywhere to let you know. I will not try again. Poor business management.
I decided to get the platter with two meats here, from which I selected 1 fried catfish fillet, brisket (came in 2 pieces), and this came with slaw, and two sides, where I chose tater tots and mac and cheeseThe first thing that absolutely shocked me was the size of this plate. It was incredibly large. My first thought when seeing the food was "there's no way I'm going to finish this". The catfish fillet stretched across the entire plate to cover basically the entire thing. I didn't expect the brisket pieces to be so large either. Also, the amount of tater tots on the plate was significant as well. That's not even to consider the mac & cheese and slaw coming in separate, decently sized cups.Starting with the brisket, I thought this was quite good. What jumped out to me at the start was how well this seemed to be cooked, with beautiful char marks throughout and excellently charred edges. The pieces I had that really nice smoky flavor, and the fat in the meat (since brisket is rather lean - there wasn't too much of it) tasted really good as well. I do think it was a bit dry, as cutting it with a knife required a little bit more effort than cutting a perfectly juicy brisket was, and i did notice some of the meat to be somewhat tough, but I do think both pieces were pretty solidMoving to the fried catfish, I loved how well the breading was seasoned. It had some pepper and other spices that gave it that extra flavor. I liked this less than the brisket, however, due to a) how paper-thin the breading was and b) how easily the breading broke apart from the catfish itself. The entire filletseemed like it was on the verge of collapse. After my first cut with a fork and knife, a lot of the breading came off, and a good amount of the inner fishspilled out onto the plate. I did think the fish meat was certainly not dry and tasted pretty good, thoughThe tater tots were also fantastic, and there was a lot of them. the fried batter on these was thick and they were quite crunchy as a result. I also appreciated the relish-like sauce that came with them. Another thing that was really good was the slaw - I found the dressing especially to be really flavorful and the vegetables were done well. I liked the mac and cheese less, though, so when it came to prioritizing, I only ended up eating a few bites of itAs I already mentioned, the portion size here was pretty insane, and for a price of only around 15 dollars for everything, I thought this ratio was astoundingly good. I would recommend ordering just one for two people, as even as someone who can eat a lot, I had to leave a lot of the mac & cheese and tater tots as I prioritized finishing the main dishes. They certainly don't skimp on size - whether it's the main meat or a sideOverall, a strong and diverse combination of traditional Southern barbecue foods at an all-time portion size. 8.75/10
