The frontage road location is as always, exceptional. This location on 205 used to be the same, but it has gone downhill. Tables always need to be bused, flies are rampant and the other day, the meat was cold, the okra they were serving was burned. When we tried to talk to staff about it, they were all in the back laughing. Went to register and yelled “Hello , no one came. Had to bang on the metal counter and yell to get the three to come out of the back. When we told them about the discrepancies, the female insisted the meat was not cold. I guess she thought we weren’t hungry and just liked to complain? I told them we had been coming here for years and even used them for catering and what they were putting out, was NOT the standard the other locations put out. We ended up with a refund and will never go to this location again. Will also report them to health department. Sad.

The smoked ribs and chicken fall off the bone; both are seasoned well! I like the mashed potatoes + green beans and the sweet & spicy corn was delicious! I will definitely eat here if I’m ever in the area again.

They had no sweet relish, which I eat on my brisket. Young lady was rude while checking out. My chopped beef was supposed to be ground, but 1/2-2/3in pieces when I got home with my food. Ugh. Usually I am raving about this location. Today not so much.

Not bad. My meat could have been a bit more fall off the bone but it tasted great!

Good taste, but very over-priced and tiny amounts. They scooped some potatoes into one of those little cups for the sides, maybe 3/4 full. looked at it and they took some out out. I was floored.

Always a great experience but today there was what looked like maybe district managers or something..2 men there and for the first time ever in years I left hungry due to the small servings of food I was given. I stop through there every week on my way back from St Louis Missouri. Very sad and awkward experience. A young man giving orders to the local employees and thinks he’s a big shot but does not know the clientele or how to discern his customers. I say leave them alone they have had years of success probably before you were even born ! I wanted to say something in person but didn’t want to cause a scene or make things even more Awkward

My bbq of choice is pulled pork. They easily have the best pulled pork around. I prefer low carb sides. They always have cabbage

Was great food and service. However, the restaurant could have been cleaner. The tables, floor, and drink station needed attention. If the dining area isn’t clean, kind makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like

We were there on July 2nd at about 8pm. There were not many customers, but the service was very slow. It took the girls way too long to make our dishes. They were very disengaged and seemed confused on what to do. The food in the first window looked good but when we sat down to eat we were disappointed. The brisket was not really warm, it was dry and only a bit tasty. It should of had more of a smoky flavor. The side dishes were almost gone. Almost every container at the counter was empty and what was in there looked old, crusty and dried up. We asked about getting more freshly made but they said it would take a long time. The comments from others at our table were about the same, not warm to cold food, bland, not good. The ice tea they gave us was very weak. When I asked why it was so weak the girl behind the counter said it was old. I asked if they had fresh tea and she said yes and went and got another jug. Since she knew the tea was old and weak she should have got new fresh tea without having to be asked. They were also out if napkins. How does a restaurant run out of napkins? The restaurant looked dirty as well. Floors, walls, ceilings looked nasty. The cold air return vents in the ceiling were heavily coated with dirt like they had never been cleaned since this place opened up. We will definitely never come back to this location.
