For over a decade this has remained at the top of my favorite places to eat. The smoke flavor comes through all the way to the bone in their meat. They have a good selection of food to chose from and all about the same price as mcdonalds for the most part. They do not disappoint

Ribs were burnt, not grilled burned. Sweet tea was old and had that sour smell to it, if you drink sweet tea you know what I’m talking about. My daughters chicken nuggets were uncooked and her French fries were cold and old. We didn’t finish our meal. Got up went to the bathroom and no toilet paper. Beyond horrible service. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Save yourself the sour stomach and go somewhere else.

We absolutely loved this place! We stopped by accidentally when we were stopping for fuel next door, but we are so glad we did. Service and food were great! We got the “family special” with Ribs, Slaw, Potato Salad, Cornbread and drinks. Everyone was so nice and friendly especially our server! We would go back again and again.

My family and I had not eaten here in about a year. We had to wait approximately 20 minutes just to order due to another customers order being messed up. The food was terrible and portions much smaller than a year ago. Definitely not worth the amount of money we paid – the bill was around $55 for 4 people.

After hearing a lot about this place, I finally went! It was really really good! The hot bbq sauce was actually hot and super delicious! The fries are good and the green beans were fine. It’s known for the corn bread too which was very delicious!

Food came out fast. Too fast. Ribs and bbq sauce were different temperatures. Ribs were cold. Actually disgusting. Took a few bites and left. Forget about the chicken, it was even worse.

It has atmosphere but that’s where it stopped for me. The ribs were burnt. Not just barbeque charcoal cooked but burnt and the french fries were not quite cold but not quite warm. Mild temperature at best.

Got a 20 piece bucket of wings while I was in town. The wings were not like I remember the first time I went to this place couple years ago. These wings were extremely dry and seems like they were prepared the day before.

Tiny hole in the wall, but the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Nice to go to a local joint over a National chain. The max n cheese is lit.
