Swung by this spot craving a full BBQ feast and was met with the harsh reality of the 4th of July weekend: half the menu was missing but not a deal breaker. Ribs, brisket and some catfish were holding it down. Also it was pretty hot inside the building so be aware if you're sensitive to heat. Now, the brisket was good. Not mind-blowing, but tender, decently smoked, and flavorful enough to earn a second date. Think of it as the dependable middle child of BBQ meats—won’t let you down, but won’t make you write poetry either. The real star? The catfish. Perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside—somebody in that kitchen knows what they’re doing with a fryer. Fries were on point too—crispy, salty, and dangerously snackable. I caught myself reaching into the bag like it owe

The food is delicious, but the pit master does NOT use gloves. I watched him preparing food with his bare hands. I couldn't eat my bread because my mind just wouldn't let me because I'm sure he probably prepared mine without gloves as well. Everyone knows that you should use gloves when preparing other people's food! Well, atleast he didn't do it in secret. We all could see him.

We’ve eaten here before and LOVED the food. So when we found ourselves right down the road on a Saturday night at 6:20 we figured we would stop by. Pulled in at 6:30 and as we were getting out of the car the employee made eye contact while locking the door. And the posted business hours, next to the sign she flipped over, said they close at 8pm. Guess we will not be coming back here.

Lobby could use some more decor as it seemed bare, but the owner was so nice and very friendly about explaining the menu and had a fantastic music selection playing. The brisket mac and cheese was so good I couldn't think about any other food for the rest of the day! Also got an order of brisket sliders and burnt ends. The House BBQ sauce was phenomenal and great for dipping my fries into. The chef hooked me up with some fatty meat as I love the fat and was even kind enough to let us try the lemonade and tea... we loved both and got a cup of each! Great service and great food. Stopped here when traveling back to WV from PA, and it was awesome! Perfect algorithm find on Google Maps when I searched up BBQ near me when traveling. A neat thing in the lobby was a map where he had people put a p

OMG. This food is beyondddddddd delicious. My partner & I just tried it today for the first time and they for sure have returning customers. From the moment we walked in AL greeted us with a smile and explained the menu to us, he even gave us free samples to try before we made our decision. The food is 10/10 ! It’s so flavorful and the snaq-n-cheese is sooooo freaking good. The rib tips are amazing and the green beans are seasoned to perfection. My partner got the catfish box with baked beans and he scarfed it down in 2 seconds which is amazing because he’s a picky eater. They even through in a side of coleslaw! Overall this place is 10/10 from the atmosphere to the customer service all the way down to the food it’s all hits and no misses. We’ve already determined the next time we have a
