Quick for the time of night but I won't go back. The price to portion wasn't good. And no BBQ available only a few fried food options. Yes I ordered really late but having no BBQ with BBQ in the name says a lot.

Spectacular homemade southern cooking. Taste better than Grandma's food, but please don't tell her I said that! Delicious and affordable!

I used to come here all the time in 2016-2017 before the renovations. The food and service was always good. The pictures connected to this review are from Sept. 2024 and shows how nice and clean the renovated look of the place is. I forgot to take pictures of my food but it was all as tasty and delicious as I remember. I highly recommend.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was great 👍🏾 even though customer in front oof me took my rib plate and went out the door 😆 🤣 the lady behind the counter said don't worry about it and quickly made me another. It's clean in side 👍🏾 The pork sandwiches delicious and all the sides delicious. Definitely recommend this BBQ place.

Good food, amazing service and an overall vibe. I heard the place was remodeled, not sure what it looked like BEFORE but the NOW is giving! Couldn’t give it 5 stars because the fried chicken wasn’t working for me, not saying it was bad but just wasn’t working with my taste buds today. However! That Mac and cheese and yams… absolutely 🔥! Oh and that pineapple lemonade was everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I plan to return and try some other things soon, I’ll keep the pics coming!

Really good! The pulled pork had flavor even without sauce added — something I don’t see a lot. Green beans were good but I think the yams stole the show (although there’s a lot of sugar if that’s a problem for you). Prices were great. The only negative for me was the seating felt odd and better for someone eating alone instead of with a friend or group.
