Ribs were great. Not a good day for Brisket. Dry, not flavorful,not a good smoke on this today.. Good point is a quality brisket just maybe sitting longer than my liking. Will try again if im in area.

The brisket, French fries, and mac and cheese were exceptional. The chicken was satisfactory. The dessert was outstanding. I would certainly return to sample additional meals.

I willl NEVERRR go here again .. I placed an online pick up order my boyfriend went and picked it up for me. I ordered a Mac attack with pulled chicken since I do not eat pork products. When he brings me my food I opened it and realized it’s covered in brisket. I called to let them know what happened and get a refund .. someone answered the phone and goes hold on let me get the manager.. I was talking with the manager for a total of 35 minutes .. This guy repeatly asked me what happened to your food .. what’s your order number . Hold on let me look into this . What’s your order number like a broken record . It got to a point where I legit wanted to cry because he kept sounded confused and asking me on repeat what the issue is and the refund is in process and umm hold on the refund may be

Food was mid. Brisket was dry. Cornbread was dry and crumbly. Burnt ends were ok. Pulled chicken was ok. Best thing on the platter was the Mac n cheese. Came here mid day after a brief trip to 6flags and was hungry. Was bout a 15-20m drive. On this day, wasn't worth it. Customer service was 50/50. First person we dealt with had a good attitude, acknowledged us when we arrived, said he'd be right with us after a small wait. But the second guy, def had on a bandanna tall white man, didn't seem to want to be there. His whole vibe was off putting. And lastly the cashier, an older woman, recognized our wait apologized and offered the soft drinks on the house. Which was appreciated. Overall, nothing special about this place after first time visit. Doesn't make me want to go back. Nothing stood o
