Got a ton of take out there yesterday for a family of 3 and it was excellent! The ribs held a true bite like they should. The brisket salad my wife got for $9 is a bargain in today’s economy and will last for a couple meals. My boy devoured the mac and cheese. The vinegar slaw paired well with the pulled pork on sandwiches. The only thing we didn’t try was the chicken but I will definitely be back. It’s so good as I am writing this review I am getting hungry for the leftovers in the fridge.

This place was so clean and friendly. The food was bursting with flavor and the meat melts in your mouth. The environment has a down home feel too it and the workers are so helpful and fast. They nailed our order and kept checking to make sure everything was okay. I highly recommend this wonderful place. It hits the right spot. Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience.

The only reason I am giving this business three stars is because the staff was super friendly. The chicken wings were too salty to even eat. The chicken breast was dry. I was unable to taste any smoke flavor on any of the meat. The only thing I would order again was the fries but I don’t go to bbq restaurants for the fries.

First time at this place, and the service was great. Got waited on immediately, got the food really quick. Tables were clean, restaurant wasn’t over crowded, just some town cops eating lunch. Got a BBQ bowl and it was so good. Highly recommend if you’re looking for quick homemade tasting food.

I really like the food here. I’m an avid customer. Friendly employees and a clean environment. The Carolina sampler is my favorite platter. I also really like the Ranchero Hot Dogs.
