★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Euola Johnson · Feb 2026

I ordered the rib tips and dirty rice. I asked the lady if the ribs were tender before I ordered. I was disappointed to find the majority of the tips were dry and tough as beef jerky. The dirty rice was decent but under cooked. The sauce was very good and the lady working was very nice!! It's doubtful I'll go back.

This place is located next to a gas station and that should’ve been a sign for me to stay away. The food was nasty and the peach cobbler was spoiled and mushy. It made my stomach sick 🤢 and I won’t mention the rest. The turkey links were hard and dry. I will not suggest this place to anyone. Beware you’ve been warned. Bad food and ok service. Quality of food is horrible and the taste is bland, nasty, and overcooked.

I ordered the Beef Ribs and they were extremely tough with more bones than meat. I would recommend just getting the Turkey Tips and not the beef ribs.

Yummy yummy to my tummy. I ordered the rib tips with the links. OMG, the sauce is so good. The tips were nice n tender. I had one mild n one spicy. Both were delicious. Most definitely, I will be going back, n I recommend. Employees was nice n restaurant was clean. No complaints here. 👌

We needed to stop and gas up and lucked up on a pre 4th BBQ spot still serving beef ribs cooked to perfection. This little pit smells of smoke baked into the walls just like I like it. The BBQ itself was smokey and seasoned well. It did not need to be sauced but the sauce tasted of its own unique blend of spices and definitely carried well. I would rather this place a, must try. Hurry and get there because they do sell out
