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 -
Passing through Durham NC and wanted some BarBque so I order porkchops was delicious with bake beans wasn't that good and Candy gums were good . I also order Rib tips that were sooo good. -
Amazing flavor and service. Their fried chicken 🍗 is on top. -
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!
