First and most importantly..Christians who believe in the saving power of Christ's blood shed for all! Now to be very honest...do not get baked beans...nothing at all above a can of beans. Corn on the cob...not the sweet corn 🌽 I'm used to in Nebraska. The bbq...meat tender (beef brisket, pulled pork, and ribs) but without flavor. Very very bland bbq sauce and no additional BBQ sauce flavors available. Coke products 😍 however the syrup to carbonation ratio is off. Extremely excellent service/ very friendly and outgoing. Peach cobbler with ice cream was amazing. The blackberry cobbler was very tart. The ambiance is very 1980's and included dining at small picnic tables. Order and pay at the counter then select which dirty table you want to sit at.

Tonight my husband and I tried here for the first time; and it was so delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The menu was everything we expected, very glad we got to experience this location and will most definitely be returning. Thank you to the amazing staff there. 🫡

Got the sample plate. Loved the okra. The rest was pretty sauced up and only one style of sauce, which I didn't love. They were out of the cobbler I wanted to try. Would return if local.

I’m truly not a negative Nancy, but I ordered the catfish dinner and shrimp dinner. The fish, shrimp and fries were cooked way too much that when I cut into the catfish there was no meat left. Over fried fish and shrimp very hard. Green beans and tater sauce were really good. I will continue to eat here for the BBQ.
