What our guests are saying
This is my second time eating here. First time was lunch and the food & service were good. Tonight’s take out tops the charts. Phenomenal shrimp and grits!!!!! And the kids tender’s batter is seasoned. Soooo good! Feels like a home cooked meal.

Stopped as a nice break in a road trip south. It was beautiful out so we sat on the back deck. It was so nice in the back. Service was good. We split the platter so we could try a bit of everything and it was more than enough for two people. There was smoked sausage (surprisingly this might have been my fav thing on the plate and I am a brisket fan), BBQ chicken and ribs(the meat was so tender it just fell off the bone) and brisket(delicious flavor). Two small buns to make sliders and a piece of cornbread came with it as well. For sides we had the Mac and cheese (to die for), coleslaw (crispy and fresh) and fried okra (a personal fav). After dinner, we each received a small banana pudding. We split one and took the other to go. Best banana pudding I have ever had!

The smoked chicken BBQ was freshly smoked and delicious. I had the fried okra and they were yummy too, as was the cornbread! The BBQ sauce was perfect. They also brought us a complimentary hush puppy appetizer. 👍 The waitress was friendly as was Melvin out back tending to the smoker.
