Super friendly people and nice ambiance and most importantly very good food!!! A little pricey but totally worth it so I don't think it matters. A lot of sauce choices and all good!!!
Had the beef brisket plate and the beef brisket/sausage combo plate. Sides were baked beans, cucumber salad & macaroni and cheese. Each plate came with a roll. Food was fresh and relatively quick during a late lunch. The meet was delicious and tender. The baked beans were okay as was the Mac and cheese. Chill atmosphere. Would return if I lived in the area.
This place is the real deal. All the meats are as good as the best I've ever had, and the sides are also excellent, not a dud in the bunch, all for very reasonable prices. Service is quick and to the point but pleasant and knowledgeable as needed. Dining room is pretty basic but this place is about the food, at least for me. In fact I can't say I've ever really noticed any decor or ambiance here, I just can't wait to dig into that moist juicy pulled pork and the excellent potato salad. Oh yeah, the BBQ sauces are also superb!
I love their pulled pork sandwich. Coleslaw is good, but I wish they made it with mayonnaise. Extremely fast and friendly service.
Best food! My husband had the award winning ribs. I had brisket sandwich. We shared sides of potato salad and cucumber salad. Our entrees came with cole slaw. The food is fabulous! Every single thing was wonderful! Service friendly and helpful. Even the iced tea is good. We will be back as soon as we possibly can. Very good BBQ!
Thursday afternoon barbecue lunch. Walked in and ordered pulled pork sandwich and combo plate with pulled pork and brisket, baked beans and cucumber salad. Delicious!! I'd eat here every day if I could. Service was super friendly and fast! Many barbecue sauces to try and mine was number 5. Good portions for the price.
Absolutely perfect barbecue the scenery is nice. The place is well kept the owner and the waiters are absolutely marvelous. The service is fantastic and the food is even more than I thought it was going to be.
Excellent lunch! We shared the half rack of ribs, ordered two sides of cole slaw and a couple of glasses of the brewed iced tea. No sauce needed but we did try them all :)
Parking is limited, so the free parking attracted us. We checked reviews online, and the majority were excellent. As we entered, the heavenly smell wafted through the place. That clinched the deal. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and efficient. When he asked if we wanted to go cups or glasses for our drinks, we opted for to go cups. The drink machine was in the dining area, and refills were complimentary. We also got our sandwiches with the Coleslaw to the side, not on the meat, in the bun. By the time we got our drinks, and found a place to park our butts, we got our sandwiches. Husband had the pulled pork and I had the pulled chicken. Both were moist and tasty - even without sauce. Husband said the beans were spicy. They had a kick. The coleslaw was dry, sweet, and very good. We had 6 sauces from which to choose - our favorites were the sweet ones - #1 and #5. We savored every delicious bite. I ate half of mine without the bun, to get the full chicken flavor. It was pleasant eating inside. Frank Sinatra serenaded us over the sound system. Other diners were in our area, & we were all spread out. Note: If you are looking for a job, they're hiring as of 5/26/21. But you wouldn't know they were short staffed. Service was exceptional! And so was the food!
