Excellent service, tastey food, JUST RIGHT, the "brisket burgers" are out of this world, must stop in!!!! I do not normally do this, but in this instance I am compelled to ADD to my review; The wife and I ordered the brisket pate and the pulled pork plate, to go. After getting home and reheating them we were very pleasantly suprised They are even now as GOOD as fresh, EXCELLENT JOB, beautiful bark and flavor, all I can reiterate is ABSOLUTELY GREAT

Ate here 11/16 with party of 4. 3rd time being here. This time the food was great. The pulled pork was perfect tasting barbecue the sauces were right, my sons briquette was good. The hush puppies were better this time but they needed a sauce or cinnamon butter. That Sweet tea was a ten. My wife's pulled chicken got gone quick and she loved her mac and cheese. 52 bill ain't bad either for food this good.

I picked up a pound of bbq with sides to take home for the weekend. It was wonderful! We heated up our bbq and hush puppies in the oven for a few minutes. We enjoyed baked beans and bbq slaw too. We also love the vinegar based bbq sauce; homemade. We loved it all. We will be back!!

I arrived less than an hour before they closed, which I hate doing. But the customer service was great, the food is always great, and the price is good. I fed my family of 3 adults and 2 children for 40. And I mean, well fed, with really good food.
