This is their first week open and they are descendants of Luella' Kitchen. So there aren't many good BBQ places around, so I wanted to try them. I was not disappointed. My son and I tried a variety of different items from the menu. The wings were fried perfectly, but needed a little more salt. Mac and Brisket was good. Tips were not all dried out. I think I tasted a dry rub on them. Disappointed with the amount of fried pickles I received with my order. Sorry wasn't a fan of the Brisket pizza. Maybe if the pieces of meat were smaller and spread all over the pizza. Just my opinion. 😀

Food was amazing. Got the Brisket burger (very big portion) that came with a side of perfectly crispy crinkle fries. We also got a side of Mac and cheese (must try!!). Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to try their brisket pizza.

Got a chance to stop to check this place out. Customer service was decent I was greeted as I looked over the menu options. I went with the Brisket Burger and fried pickles. The fried pickles were terrible no flavor, overcooked and the dipping sauce wasn't good either. 4.5. The brisket burger was good but still off thou at the same time...let me explain thou. The burger by itself was delicious, it was perfectly seasoned and had a little char to it. The burger was big and had melted cheese as you would do at home...solid. The BBQ sauce thou really ain't no flavor to it...kinda meh. The brisket was decent but still not feeling the flavor and it was kinda gummy. But, overall the burger is 7.5. They need a menu option for just regular double cheeseburger imo. The place got room to grow and h

Sunday, October 10, 2024. Let me start by saying I never write reviews however, this food was so incredibly BAD, I had to express my frustration! I arrived at about 2:15, they open at 2p. So maybe I was the first customer of the day. When I walked in I didn't smell any smoke or see a BBQ pit, so I don't know where they made the ribs (probably oven baked). I told the gentlemen who took my order that this was my first time here, so you would think they would want a return customer and put their best foot forward. I ordered the rib tip dinner, which are tips and fries. The tips were cut from the end that's lean and tough, not the meaty middle portion with the bone.(if you are familiar with rib tips you know what I mean). The pieces were very small and slathered in sauce. The fries were ok, be

I just found out about this place and, I'm always looking to Support LOCAL BLACK BUSINESSES. I felt let down! I ordered fried pickles, because I've always loved them.... These are dry, crunchy and I think these pickles are just not Fresh at all. I wanna refund, but more importantly I want y'all to do better.
