Amazing place for BBQ! 1/2 lb. pulled pork sandwich was flavorful, hot, and juicy! I got the spiciest kind of BBQ sauce - fantastic! Baked beans had a blend of kick and sweetness - astounding! Cheesy and amazing texture for mac! Friendly service! Will be stopping again when I am in the area!

This place was so good! We had no idea what to expect but once we got our food we understood exactly why this place was so busy! My husband and I actually enjoyed the food more than the supper club next door!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Joshua Yahna · Jun 2025

Both times I’ve been here the last year, the food was incredible. Both times, the service left me upset. The first was when the cook knocked on the window of my car and asked for the food bag back. He ripped it open and took one of the packages out because he had given me too much. That felt weird. This time, the server checked off each item on my online order receipt before tying the bag shut with a knot. When we got home, there was no coleslaw, our extra-charge sauces were not included, and the ribs (delicious) had no barbecue sauce at all. It was over $60 total for a meal for two and my $11 side was forgotten. I want to speak directly with the restaurant and just get my refund for the side but their phone goes straight to the answering machine and they have not called me back. “Clover”

This is a small little place. We had the brisket and it was very good. They give you 3 choices of homemade BBQ sauce. The staff was friendly and service is quick. We will be coming back again.

I ordered the 1/4 lb pulled chicken and BBQ beans. The chicken had just the right amount of smoke. Very generous serving. The beans may have been homemade or doctored up to taste "just like mom used to make." Looking forward to my next visit!
