This place is busy but has some of the best bbq I’ve ever had. They have that great smoke taste and the BBQ is like a tangy honey BBQ to me. Great choices for everyone in the group. Don’t forget to pick up a shirt when you are there, I picked up a every butt deserves a good rub shirt. Wait staff is on it and available any time you need them. If we lived there we would totally be back.

The wings are incredible! We were in town for the weekend and this place popped up as being dog friendly on the patio. Our server was awesome and brought water out for the puppers. I will definitely be back, the food was A+++++!

Go there is you are in Charlotte. It is a must. The food is so damn good. Everything we had was spectacular. Get the LTD (living the dream) , including smoked pork barbeque, smoked pot roast, smoked ribs, smoked chicken quarter with 2 sides. We had garlic butter mushrooms(best I have ever had and am not a big mushroom fan), and okra fried to perfection.

I got their ribs, they were good but was kinda expecting fall off the bone ribs but they were not, flavor was still pretty good. My family got sandwiches(chicken & Philly) they said they were good. Sides were also good except for the cole slaw, so much milk in it. Service was ok.

Smoked wings were nice, albeit not super spicy, some cold in the center. Ribs were super dry and lacking in flavor. Had to rip them apart and were super chewy. Knife couldn’t cut through them. Nice place but food could be improved

My husband and I shared a Livin the Dream and we both are full. This place may have a 4 star review but they need to be 5 stars. The meat melts in your mouth like its butter. I highly recommend

While it started really good with the smoked wings, the ribs were a huge disappointment. They were so dry they stuck to the bone and no amount of added sauce seem to hydrate them back to a chewable consistency. Maybe it was an off day on the ribs side but it was quite disappointing.

It smells so good in there! OMG! My favorites are the Award Winning Ribs! The pulled pork was tender! The atmosphere and vibes were great. The servers were attentive literally the service and food were on point! You can grab a drink and watch the games! 5 stars for those delicious southern sides! If you are in Charolette stop here!

The real deal and truly easy on/off I-77. Must eat the fried squash! Sublime. Appetizer portion is huge. Recommend the ribs, chicken wings (barb-lo sauce), ribs and collard greens.
