We went for fish night tonight, and it was incredible! It was so fresh and cooked perfectly. The collard greens were amazing as well! We're actually planning to go back tomorrow for steak night! You can't go wrong with Mr BBQ!!

The pork steak was ok. Way too thick for my liking but fairly good. The potato salad was good but the portion size was too small for the size of pork steak I had. Will try again just not ordering the pork steak again

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kevin B · Nov 2023

This wasn’t my favorite BBQ experience, but it wasn’t horrible. The Good: the sides were delicious. We had the fried okra, onion rings, and a side salad. All were really good and generous portions. The Ok: the BBQ was just ok. I had the pulled pork nachos. The nachos were ball park style chips and just bland. The pulled pork was overly sweet. It was a generous portion and could have likely fed two people. The same can be said about the pork steak. It was enormous. Definitely consider splitting it. The Bad: the chicken wings were crispy, but served plain with the sauce on the side. I’ve never had wings like this. The ribs could have been more tender. I felt like they were tough. Lastly, our service was horrible. The waitress seemed like she was annoyed with us every time she had to come t

Had the best family dinner to go: Big pretzel, potato skins, a lovely half salad with ranch, two pork steak plates with potato salad, baked beans, and green beans. The salad was all fancy field greens with halved grape tomatoes, light shredded cheese and croutons. The ranch was homemade. The pork steaks were tender and covered in a deep, rich smokey-sweet sauce. The baked beans were cooked with chunks of pork and were absolutely delicious. The potato skins were nice and tender, almost sweet, with melted cheddar and heaps of chopped bacon. We are happy and stuffed. He also makes the most flavorful smoked pork and chicken that I buy by the pound to use for Brunswick stew. A++++

We had fish tonight. Cooked perfectly as usual. But you all switched to sweet potato tots. Really? Meh! Think about bringing back those fries. They were the best!
