★★★★★ 5.0 Ankush Thakur · Jan 2026

Phenomenal BBQ place. Awesome food, affordable prices, great service. We loved the pork ribs, the pulled pork was one of the best I have had in a while. The North Carolina one really just hits different. The smashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, Cole slaw and baked beans are all amazing. Sauces are on point. Desserts were great too. We had the brownie with ice cream and bread pudding and we devoured it. Everything was made perfectly. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Consistently great. Baked beans have pieces of Brisket, grab some cornbread too! Small bar for a drink, fancy soda. Today I am grabbing to go. A pint of baked beans, Rueben with their house made pastrami. I did not get the smoked wings but they are also terrific.

Went here for the second time and it's delicious. Both times I got a combo platter with two meats and two sides. It's more food than I need and makes great leftovers for lunch the next day. The Mac and cheese today was a little broken - that's my only complaint - however, last time I had it, it was perfect. The staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be coming here again and trying different meats/sides.

I was not going to write a review initially because I’m from Texas and I kind of walked in knowing it was not the same. And I truly hate hate hate writing bad reviews to fellow business owners, But…then they made the mistake of giving me “sweet tea” which was actually raspberry iced tea and trying to tell me that was their sweet tea..one way to get under a southerners skin is to mess with the sweet tea… I got the brisket platter and bless y’all’s hearts I feel bad for you people because you accept and think that this bbq is amazing.. Just by looking at the brisket it’s pretty obvious they rush the cook meaning there is not someone manning the off set smoker for 24 hours (pit masters) like in the south. Low and slow not pumping them out like Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl. It’s why the fat

Overall Rating: 8.5/10 Without a doubt in my top 10 favorite places to eat. Easily the best BBQ on east end. This is one of those 'once a month' places I go to. Never disappointed. Great for a quick bite or a nice sit down meal. The menu is huge and the quality is superb. Great place on those nice days to eat some REAL comfort BBQ outside or in dining room. Recommended dish- Anything! But you MUST try their 'Bama Sauce' Taste & Flavor: 8/10 All the food is delicious however sides are left for you to season to your liking Quality: 8/10 REAL BBQ Texture & Temp: 8/10 Meat is hot juicy smoky and tender Portion Size: 6/10 You can buy 'per/lb' otherwise the tacos/ sliders could be a 'little' bit bigger Presentation: 8/10 Everything looked great Service: 8/10 Expect to wait during 'rush' hours
