Was in town for something. My wife wanted BBQ and I picked this place. The food is good but the wait for hush puppies was too long. The food is good. The server gave me a small portion of yams but THANK YOU to the head lady at the register she gave my wife more yams -
Absolutely Delicious!!! With the first bite I could tell auntie and uncle were in the back THROWING DOWN. This was really good BBQ

Went twice. First time, got bbq, slaw, and cabbage and a chicken breast. BBQ was smoked well but was greasy, not vinegar based sauce. The fried chicken was decent.
2nd time I went everything was so much better. The bbq wasn't greasy. I got collards and Brunswick stew, and both were as good as I ever ate! The stew was so awesome. Sometimes its ok to give a place a second chance. I certainly am glad that I did! -
This place seriously makes me want to open my own bbq restaurant. I am a bbq connoisseur and I know bbq very well, considering I have smoked my own meat for years. Pulled pork tasted like it was cooked in a crockpot. Ribs were super, super fatty, rubbery and questionable. Hush puppies were cold, which were being held in a metal container at the service window, not under heat lamp etc, fries no flavor and over layered with flour batter, coleslaw wasn’t bad. Bbq sauce not bad. No drinks other than a few cans of soda. No tea? No bottled water? Had to eat salty food without any drinks. Tables and chairs and paper towels all dirty. Only good thing is the girls behind the counter were very nice and accommodating. Will never be back here again. Do not recommend if you know your bbq.
