★★★★☆ 4.0 Derek McAllister · Aug 2025

Not going to claim it's the best BBQ out there, but I will say it is quite good. The wing were really good. Smoked only per the menu yet the skin wasn't gooey and the meat came right off the bone. The pulled pork was nice and lean (my preference). The brand packed a little flavor but a little of their gold sauce solved that. Mac and cheese wasn't all that great. Almost as if their rue was to tight and it wasn't a smooth and creamy cheese sauce though the flavor wasn't bad. I prefer mine with a sharper cheese as this really tasted like a mild cheddar was used. Overall, a good stop and it'll certainly be a place we'll keep in mind when we're out that direction again.

I order doordash from here a lot and its always tasty. My husband and I decided to go in and order take out for valentines day and see what their specials were. I got the prime rib with a snow crab add on. BEST PRIME RIB I've EVER had. Not kidding. That smoky, flavorful crust was to die for. The Mac and cheese is actual southern style. Dry and crumbly like I like it. Also the house bbq blue cheese with their homemade cornbread croutons is out of this world. The owner took our to go order and she was so sweet. You can tell she takes pride in her establishment and she has right to. It was fantastic. Definitely going back and dining in soon!

Three strikes, you're out. We've given numerous chances, always thinking we came on an 'off' day. Today was the final nail. Brisket is consistently gray and dry. I didn't even get the brisket I ordered. The waitress was cheerful and did her job well. She did remove the additional charge for my missing brisket, and Dawn visited the table and said my husband's dinner would be refunded- he tried a slice of brisket and ate his sides. Today was our very last visit. I had no doubt Dawn would be right on here, slamming a poor review. It happens every single time someone leaves one. It's amazing how many people you've encouraged not to come back. SERIOUSLY?!?! Where's Gordon Ramsay, when you need him? 🤦🙄 The customers are all wrong, not your food!

The food here is outstanding! If you are visiting for the first time. Your waitress will offer a small tasting of their delicious side dishes. The prime rib I had was cooked perfectly. I also recommend trying the garlic pretzels! During dinner the owner and chef walked out into the dining room. He made a point to visit everyone making sure they were happy with their food. I was able to talk with Bob for a few minutes. It was nice to meet the person actually making the food! I can’t wait to visit again. So I can try the rest of the menu.

My girlfriend and I came here for the first time. We both ordered the 2 piece platter with 1/2 chicken and pulled pork. The Mac and cheese with the pork was to die for. Sorry, I ate it before I took the photo, so it's not in the photo. All of the food was really great. The sampler platter of the sides they offer was an unexpected nice touch, which was a great idea by the owners. Very friendly staff, and one of the owners ( Bob ) came over and introduced himself. I've only been to 2 other restaurants in my life, and the owner went to the tables and introduced themselves. Very classy move. We also got to meet his wife, Dawn. Very nice people. And our waitress was very friendly and the service was great as well. We look forward to coming back again and again. The restaurant has a country feel
