★★★★☆ 4.0 Lydia Slezak · Nov 2024

The food was delicious! Our favorite thing was the roast beef sandwich, better than Arby's. The BBQ pork was very tender, and the sauce was perfect. The hamburgers were good, traditional, and tasty. I wouldn't say they were the best hamburgers we've ever had, but they were good. The onion rings were amazing, but I was hoping we would have gotten more of them. It's definitely worth a try, and we will be back.

Great hot BBQ sauce, my favorite pulled pork place I the area. Good selection of side dishes, nice southern style corn bread. The hot BBQ sauce has a bold and really hot flavor kick. Its actually hot, reminds me of the Southwest US hatch chili flavors. Pulled pork had some bark and was nice and moist.

I had the pulled pork plate with cole slaw and Mac and cheese all great. Wife had fries and chicken tenders which were great people were great only thing was the corn bread needed a little butter or honey little dry but over was great will definitely go back

Quaint little restaurant. Kind of out of the way but very popular. We haven’t found anything on the menu that wasn’t excellent. Stuffed baked potatoes, BBQ, chicken fingers. The BBQ salad is a great choice. My favorite is the cheese burger and fries. I’m a picky eater and I have tried e dry item listed above and would recommend every one. The staff is always friendly and the service is exceptional.

We love trying local, hole in the wall restaurants, and we weren't disappointed! The pork was delicious, and so was the cornbread. Our favorite was the tangy BBQ sauce. The staff were very friendly!
