As soon as you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff. The restaurant was very clean and the food was delicious. Christian, family music was being played. The food came out very quickly. There are multiple different BBQ sauces to try. No complaints, this is the best BBQ in leland.

Where should I start. When we walk into the front part of the restaurant it was very clean and the waitress introduction was great. But the food was terrible. My wife and I only order the side dishes such as the mac and cheese, green beans, sweet potato fries. I ordered fried okra, sausage link mac and cheese and hush puppies. My wife love the green beans and sweet potato fries. So when the food came there sweet potato fries was cooked so hard that she almost boke a tooth. The green beans had a pickle and oily taste to it. My okra was also oily. The mac and cheese was cold and stuck in the bowl like was left out for a while. And the hush puppies had corn inside them. I do know how to cook hush puppies and it's with out corn.Then 20 minutes later a waiter come by and ask how is everything?

Stopped in with my wife fir a Friday evening dinner. When I go out for BBQ, I generally head to Charelston or Ayden, but I just wanted a quick bite so I stopped in Leland. I entered throb the front door and headed to the right to place my order. The short line moved quickly and we were given a table sign the read "Fort Hood." (That was the first red flag.)

I looked up and saw a filthy ceiling (red flag number two). We moved. We settled in at another table and waited. The music on the dining room was gospel music (red flag number three). This makes me ask myself, "What is the business model? Are they selling the quality of th

SO good. We loved it. I liked that they had a “sides” plate for kids because my son can’t eat meat and got to pick two of the sides. Loved the atmosphere.
