What our guests are saying
Our first time here. Saw the ads on Facebook and had to try the food. As a food blogger, I must say, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was friendly. The portions were huge and prices reasonable. Will definitely be back.

Hubs and I went for our second wedding anniversary dinner based on the recommendation of a friend. Best brisket ever! Perfectly tender, cooking made the meat shine (not over-flavored), perfect smoke red ring depth. And I mean - traveled the country eating BBQ; owned a vending BBQ business myself years ago, and no one does brisket better than they do! Ribs were great except hubs got a rack that was a little too dry, but the second part of the rack was tender enough to fall off the bone and smoked perfectly in flavor. Although I was not a fan of the collards (hubs said he liked them), the Mac n cheese had a great texture and spot on cheese crust on top. Would have liked a bit more banana pudding for dessert. As someone from the food industry, I can tell they have plenty of years of experience cooking. Was a great experience and we WILL be back again!

Food and atmosphere is awesome. Food is fresh authentic and delicious. First time going. Come this way a little bit but never noticed it. Please stop by. The wife and I had the $60 platter which was great on all levels. Definitely will be coming back.
