★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Jones · Dec 2025

This has been my go to place for BBQ on my birthday when opened meaning if my birthday does not fall on Sunday or Monday. Went Saturday, had to wait but not unusual. Got combo plate - sliced brisket and chopped pork, slaw and stew. Not sure what happened but the pork and especially brisket were less than optimal. Pork was too dry (overdone?), brisket WAY too much fat. I prefer thinner sliced brisket than I got. Stew, slaw both on point and gotta love Cracklin' Cornbread. Our server, Margaret was SUPER. The atmosphere here is SUPER. LOVE the place. Hopefully when December 20th rolls around again, the BBQ will be what I am used to.

You cannot mess up brisket..but!! Well we've found another tough chew situation. Barbque should melt in your mouth on the fatty side! The meat should or almost should slide off the bone on ribs and chicken should be moist, with some give! None of that was found here! No fatty brisket insight, very tough to the teeth pull! Same with the ribs, just not moist, tender and missing succulent! The chicken came is a pile, which instantly can be recognized and dry! Even drenched in sauce, no help on moisture or flavor! No sign of smoke on anything, except the guy outside with a cigarette and the wood burning aromas as you pull up! The cornbread triangles are better served as defense rocks in case of the need to escape. Hard not moist and warm. Cold and hard! No warm welcomes when we entered and swi

My colleague and I chose to visit this establishment. We have driven by it many times but have never stopped because the parking lot is always full. We were very pleased with our decision to finally try it. Upon entering, one is transported back in time with its vintage and antique decor. We did experience a brief wait for a table, but it was not excessively long, despite the establishment being quite busy. The menu initially appears extensive due to the multitude of options; however, our waitress, Kyna, provided clear explanations and suggested we try a three-meat plate to sample a variety of items. We selected pork, ribs, and brisket. For our sides, we chose stew and macaroni and cheese, and their cornbread features pork cracklings. Their BBQ sauce is some of the best I've ever tried. Ev

Pulled pork, beans and slaw were fantastic. My lunch was so good that I went back later and bought the family meal to take home for dinner.

This is the kind of place you feel more American walking out of. Some of the best pulled pork I’ve ever had in my life. You could walk in here with a New York accent and walk out southern as can be. It’s that good.
