★★★☆☆ 3.0 Devin Sea · Dec 2025

Coming into this place, I had fairly high expectations. We were staying at the hotel next door, and several local hotel staff members recommended this restaurant, which immediately set a higher standard in my mind. When we arrived, however, there was only one car in the parking lot—and it was leaving. There were no customers inside the restaurant at all, which initially raised some concerns, but we decided to give it a chance anyway. We walked up to the counter, and the employee on duty greeted us and began assisting with our order. One person in our group was asking questions, and during that process, the employee repeatedly walked away toward the back of the kitchen while continuing to talk to us instead of staying present and focused on taking the order. This made the interaction feel d

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Shawndra DB · Feb 2026

I'm sorry, but I was highly disappointed. I ordered ribs tips combo (Brunswick stew for the side) and a brisket sandwich. Hopefully this was just a bad day, bcuz everything was horrible. Service was good (hence the 2 stars, deserving of 1), food was not. Well I take that back, the Brunswick stew flavor was good but was too watery/soupy. The rib tips taste like they were boiled, I did not like the taste nor texture. Sometimes sauce will vindicate, not the case here, the sauce is lackluster. The brisket sandwich smelled good, so I thought they were about to redeem themselves...NO!! (and I hate to name drop but Buc-ees brisket puts yall to shame as well as Fox Bros). I am thoroughly disappointed and annoyed bcuz I'm HUNGRY!! I will NOT be returning. Terrible!

Food is absolutely terrible!! I ordered rib tips Mac and cheese collard greens and banked beans. For one the rib tips were undercooked and I can tell they never touched a grill! Secondly all the sides are terrible the Mac and cheese was flavorles and I can tell it was literally macaroni noodles with shredded cheese! The collards!! I literally have have better CANNED collards these collards were also flavorless and had onions in them!! I’m so confused. The baked beans were CHILLI BEANS WTH!! Never again I highly do not recommend!

This was the worst experience I have had in a long time and when I do say the worst, I mean the worst I came in at lunchtime me and one of my friend girls. She ordered her food and I ordered two lunches. I had barbecue rib tips and a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, man macaroni and cheese. The drinks were in the refrigerator canned drinks and I asked could I get one of those the gentleman told me no because they’ve been sitting there for three years so I could not get the drink I had to get a fountain drink OK so I go to get the fountain drink the lids won’t stay on so they’re spilling spilling everywhere in my car so I took my friend girl home and I went home which is in Cobb County. I sat down to eat the rib tips, but you could smell them through the whole house. They were very ranke

★★★★★ 5.0 Wang Yilin · Nov 2025

Very tender ribs that just fall off bones. Briskets are fantastic too, and it only takes couple minutes from order till food gets to your table. Don’t get it why there ain’t many customers. Definitely underrated restaurant.
