The ribs were perfectly done, the sauce was delicious, the collards were fantastic, and beans were great. If you are in the area you must try this place. The options are limited but everything I tried made me very, very happy. Can't recommend them highly enough!

I set me in car and waited until 2:30 pm I paid for my Slab of ribs ($33.00) with sauce on the side and a large potatoe salad ($8.00). My husband also wanted a cup of peach cobbler which is so good. The ribs was so tender omg! I was so satisfied. The owner and his wife are so nice their customer service is amazing. We go there so much tell she remembers us. They are located next to a fruit stand and we always purchase items there. Not sure what the name of it. The location is easy to locate also across from racetrac gas station. They only take cash! I did not take a picture of the slab of ribs because my family tore it up. It is a must to pay them a visit.

There is a bench to sit on and wait for your order to be filled. There are four picnic tables with umbrellas if you wish to eat outside. The guy behind the window was incredibly five-star friendly and efficient. I had my food in maybe four minutes tops! I ordered the Chopped Pork sandwich, fries, slaw, and a fountain drink. I was asked if I want BBQ or mustard-based sauce and I went with mustard. It came to $10 and was packaged just fine. I decided to eat at a picnic table and had no problem finding some shade. The crinkle cut fries were a very large portion and hot and crispy and damn fine. The Cole slaw was a little tangy and tasted great. Now for the sandwich which should be the star of the show. Not so much! It was a very skimpy portion of pork. I could get more pork in my sandwich just about anywhere. What was there was tasty, and the sauce was good, but I was disappointed. I was supplied with napkins, but I really really needed one of those wet wipes. They should fix that. As I prepared to leave, I discovered there was no trash can. What the hell! So, I took my trash and my sticky hands to my car. As I drove home with my trash next to me and my hands stuck to the steering wheel, I contemplated this review. The best I can do is an overall three stars. There are a plethora of BBQ joints in Central Florida and it's easy to do better than this!

We went on a Wednesday night only to learn they have a buy one/get one deal on Fajitas. Oddly enough, I had just been talking about how I hadn't had fajitas in a while so I gave them a go. My son didn't want them, so since they were buy one/get one, I took the other in a to-go container in case we got hungry later. What a great deal! They were decent fajitas. Be sure to ask for salsa since it doesn't come with it and jalapenos if you like them. My son had the prime rib and it had good flavor, but a little too much fat. The really good part is the rolls...warm and they come with cinnamon butter...yummy! The salad they make in front of you is really good with delicious dressing. And for you sweet tea lovers, the tea is pretty good too. Our server was Bambi and she was very friendly. All the servers seem to be super busy in there, so you may have to wait a bit on refills and such. There are clean restrooms and the parking lot is more than ample, but it's really dark in the evening so be careful when traveling alone. Note: I don't like it when the check comes with tip suggestions on it. I find it to be unjust. Moreover, I find it to be a tad outrageous when said tip suggestions include the tax. In fairness, right on their check is states, "Tip percentages are based on the check price after taxes". But why? The tip should be based on the subtotal before taxes and any discounts if applicable. Not to mention...the thing that always matters the most is service and the food...and that can go either way (up or down from the norm and/or baseline of 15%). I get in a "mood" instantly when I see these suggestions, especially when they include the tax. End Note: Speaking of discounts...yes I asked, there aren't any...so now you know...

I ordered the deep-fried ribs with crabby sauce, collard greens, and mac & cheese. The ribs were crispy and tender, the crabby sauce added just the right kick, the collards had that smoky, slow-cooked flavor, and the mac & cheese was creamy and comforting. Service was a little on the slower side tonight, but it was close to closing and the staff was clearly working hard to take care of everyone. Everything still came out hot and fresh, which made it well worth the wait. I love that this spot is right inside the beautiful Lake Ashton retirement community, overlooking the golf course -- it's such a relaxing place to wind down after a long day (or a rainy back nine!).

They do have a bar that seemed lively and fun and I saw advertisements for happy hour drinks and plates. Looking forward to going back soon. Prime Rib on Thursday nights seems to be calling my name.
