★★★☆☆ 3.0 James CR · Mar 2026

I went there with a date. The pics in Maps made the food look really good. However, to me, it was meh. I got the farmland and she got the pulled port sandwich. The meats tasted like they were reheated in some way, as it was kind of dry. The burnt ends, I ordered the sandwich without bread, was lackluster. The only thing that tasted like it was pull apart, was the fatty parts. I did like the sauce, it tasted familiar like I've had it before. I think the food would probably be good if it was completely fresh. It wasnt terrible and it wasnt great. Edit: I am seeing reviews of sauces, I only saw the one on the table and did not see any other sauces. Looking at other reviews as well, it just seems like the quality is not the same every day. That needs to be worked on

My wife and nonverbal autistic son visited Sweet & Smoky Barbecue and the experience was honestly heartbreaking. While they were waiting for their food, my son who is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum was making vocal noises, which is how he communicates. He was not being aggressive, not running around, not damaging anything. Just making sounds. The owner came out from the back and told my wife and son they needed to leave because my son was “disturbing customers.” Let that sink in. A child with a disability was asked to leave for existing in the way he naturally exists. Instead of showing basic compassion or understanding, the situation was handled with zero empathy. Families with special needs children already face enough challenges navigating public spaces. Being told to leave a re

Ok this is a local favorite, from what I hear. I had the cajun bacon smash burger, and brisket potato bombs with some of the Memphis BBQ and the Carolina sauces. Really really good food that is just great to eat slow and savor the flavors. Heard the gentleman say he was also doing some smoked shrimp for an event...sounds fantastic. Keep up the great work, as tastes like you love what you do! All the staff were absolute sweethearts, too.

Im sorry to say we wasted our time here. The atmosphere is dumpy at best. The sauce on the table tasted watered down and almost flavorless. The food was dry and overcooked. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich (they're better at Casey's) with Mac n cheese and coleslaw. My husband had the pulled pork and baked beans. And we each had a fountain soda~$36 at lunch time. Sorry to say it is not worth it and certainly not 4.5 stars.
