★★★★★ 5.0 Desiree Fender · Feb 2026

I, my retired chef, husband and I are always dying to find great barbecue! Especially if they have brisket! We got the platter meal with our choice of three. Two meats, ribs and chicken wings. We got the brisket and the pulled pork along with coleslaw and green beans. Everything was absolutely wonderful! We cannot wait to try it again! Also! Do yourself a favor. Thank you and go here the next time you have the taste for barbecue

My first clue this was going to go bad should have been the smell of cigarettes and char. Especially since there was no signs of food being made. Instead I thought ok it's a BBQ place you expect a little char. I tried moving past the cigarette smell. The young man behind the counter took my order for what was supposed to be a chin dribbler. Then I was charged another 5 dollars and something to add a side of hush puppies and a drink. I was then told their soda was out so all they had was water and tea, he was wrong all they really had was water no ice just water. The hush puppies were burnt and I would have had more meat and sauce if I had gone literally anywhere else. I highly recommend eating anywhere else.

I couldn’t decide between the ribs and loaded fries I got both it was delicious definitely going back again! My boyfriend got the brisket, smoked sausage, and Mac and cheese said it was amazing he loved it my friend got pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and parsley potato’s said they were delicious Heather helped us out she was very friendly!

Pit Platter Smoked brisket, Smoked Chicken ( very dry and also seems to be sitting for awhile) Ribs tasted as if it was baked then grilled.. not a fan for sure. Potato Salad & baked beans 😑 Chicken wings were basic.

It was my only visit so far. The pulled pork sandwich was typical. The fries were good but greasy, again typical. A bit over priced and again typical.
