★★★★☆ 4.0 Greg NoBo Nomad · Nov 2025

I was very impressed with the portion sizes, very generous. The brisket lived up to the reviews and chatter about this place. The Mac and cheese was so good, along with the potato salad. I will be back when I pass through town again. I have already recommended it to friends, telling them the place is a hole in the wall but well worth the stop.

If you are looking for BBQ with flavor and to take home this is a great choice. The man who runs it is friendly and a good pitmaster. The Mac and Cheese was excellent! The Peach Cobbler had good flavor and spices in it. The window attendant was helpful and checked on us when she could. We had several different meats and were all yummy. The loaded potatoes were not your typical "cut a Russet in half and throw stuff on type" it was done a little different. Would definitely get it again.

I can’t believe it took us so long to try it, but we will be coming back. Soul food Sunday every Sunday, best soul food we’ve had in a long time. Definitely recommend the yams, ranch potatoes, collards, and Mac n cheese (I do t know what they do to that Mac but holy smokes, it’s amazing). Outside eating only, take out is a must in the summer.

🍽️ A Little Spot Where the Flavor Speaks Loudest Good God the food was FRESH and AMAZING. Fresh Food! It wasn’t just good—it was affirming Tucked away on a quiet street, I wandered into a small, unassuming barbecue joint with nothing flashy at first glance—no neon signs, no curated playlist pulsing in the background. Just the hush of good smells and the hum of a place that knew exactly what it was doing. I ordered a spread that felt like a Southern blessing: a hamburger stacked just right, golden fries fresh out of the fryer, crispy fried okra that tasted like someone’s grandma was working the kitchen, and a shredded brisket sandwich so tender it nearly whispered stories from the pit. And that brisket—fat-free. Not trimmed with hesitation, but with intention. I’m picky, and I don't pla
