★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Radel · Oct 2025

It's a really nice place to eat and off the beaten path, but it's really close to I75. A truckers delight due truck parking and very clean restrooms, truckers can spend the night for $20. The brisket sandwich was really good with the owner 's sauce, and the chicken was a little dry but good. I loved the potatoe salad while the other person thought it was ok. 5 🌟 $$$. Total lunch was $42.00 without drinks.

★★★★☆ 4.0 VB · Sep 2025

I ordered the Half Chicken, which comes with two sides. I chose coleslaw and potatoes. The portion was large and filling. The chicken tasted okay, but not amazing — there was even a slight off flavor I didn’t really like. What I did enjoy was the atmosphere: sitting out on the pavilion with a nice breeze made the experience pleasant.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Patrick Salyards · Apr 2025

First off, this will be a kind of mixed review. Due to the fact that it's definitely catered more towards the truck drivers rolling in. So... the food. I had the 5 meat platter because I wanted to try most everything without spending everything. But everything was a bit... dry. So I'm giving it a 3/5. The smokyness and the flavor were great. I liked the wings the most, followed by the turkey and then the ribs. Everything had a LOT of meat on it, especially the wings. But the sausage, however, seemed to be store bought and had a basic smoke added, and the brisket was VERY VERY dry almost to the point of being jerky-like. Which I was definitely disappointed about. Because brisket is a staple for BBQ across the US. The beans also seemed to just be store bought, but the potato salad was great

★★★☆☆ 3.0 gordon dennis · Feb 2026

Food isn't bad but expected more for my baked beans. Tastes and looks exactly like pork and beans for $12 a quart and the way they cut the brisket Lucky i have them a 3 star for food flavor off brisket is good.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Crys Wilmore · Oct 2025

If I could give zero stars I would, the bbq brisket is trash, I paid 17.00 for this mess, its not real bbq, meat was old, cold and didn't taste about nothing. The 1 star is for the cold Mr. PIBB... good grief 😔 This is a child's sandwich too. Smh
