The cole slaw was pretty good but needed a little something in my opinion. The beans were the best. This place is definition of a hole in the wall. The brisket was good- sausage was fine- nothing special per say but good. The inside is tiny for ordering but they do have a pickle area which is nice with jalepenos, onions, two types of pickles and free beans. The staff was friendly. I don't recommend the corn bread muffins- the ones we got were severely burnt. I'm sure they would have been tasty if they were cooked properly but they fell apart in my hand because they were overcooked and dry. Seating is only outside but it's covered.

Full disclosure. This is not some fancy bbq place. This is a humble building with a sweet couple…read morethat run it. Just so you know what to expect. We stopped by on a whim based on a Facebook post. It's a very small older dusty building with limited seating and no restroom. They do not take cards. You have to pay cash or Zelle. They will sell out and close without notice. But we lucked out. We didn't know that most people call ahead and preferably a day or two ahead. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for our food. We were glad they hadn't already sold out. But it was quite the foodventure. Based on the aforementioned Facebook post, I ordered the Mr Big loaded baked potato. It has ham and brisket, cheese, sour cream, and bbq sauce. It came in an open faced to go container because there was no way it was closing. I had to dig down through several inches of meat just to reach the actual potato. I had to give some to my husband just to be able to close it to take home. Then I had to ask for a piece of tape. Well worth the price. My husband got the strawberry lemonade. Too sweet for me. He liked it. But it is served in a large mason jar which you get to keep. It had real strawberries in it. She even came and refilled it when it was about half gone. He got the mix plate. You can choose one or two or three meats. He got brisket and hot links. Large portions of meat. You don't get to choose the sides. You get potato salad and baked beans. He was very pleased with the amount of food. If you come expecting too much as far as atmosphere you might be disappointed. But if you want great food and a lot of it then call them up and bring your cash.

Just give me a moment, okay? I'll be fine; let's move on. the sides were good but, on a previous visit, the mac and cheese tasted freshly made. Today's may have been (shudder) left over. The brown butter cake was truly decadent. A rich cakelet, ice cream, whipped cream and caramel sauce--dare I say it--just too much. However, if you haven't had this week's fill of everything you shouldn't eat, go for it. The hot towels afterward were much appreciated. A bit pricey, but does it really matter if it is the best? I don't think so.

We waited two hours in total to get seated and then to get our food. The food was excellent, but I…read morecan't say that the food was worth that long of a wait. They only do reservations for groups of 10 or more, and it was a Thursday evening during peak dinner hours. We got there before 7pm and ate close to 9pm. The tavern was crowded and overstimulating. The pork ribs were a standout, and we really enjoyed them. The spicy mac and cheese was also phenomenal. The potato salad was alright. The bar, however, was out of a lot of drinks. They also did not have or at least did not give us any menus. The server listed the options after we asked, but it's not very accommodating to just hear the options instead of seeing a menu, especially for people who have hearing issues or don't understand English super well. Not knowing the prices beforehand was also disappointing.

When we pulled up I was pleased to find a rustic building with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered which is nice because it was actually raining that day. There was a large somewhat rowdy group sitting outside as we walked in, so we opted to sit indoors in the AC. It wasn't very crowded and there were plenty of open tables. You order at a counter, and a very polite young man took our orders and said it would be brought out to the table. While we were waiting a very friendly gentleman stopped by the table to welcome us in and see if we needed anything while waiting for our drinks. I was struck by how friendly the staff was and it definitely made a great first impression. I've been pleasantly surprised to find that BBQ places usually have options for vegetarians because of all the delicious sides (which is my favorite part anyway). I was very happy to enjoy a baked potato, mac and cheese, cole slaw etc as my family enjoyed the typical bbq fare. We were given I think one cup of bbq sauce with our plate but were able to get more when we asked the staff. As we were eating, Moma T herself came out and introduced herself, and just like everyone else we met she is one of the nicest people I've met. So super welcoming and even offered us a slice of complimentary cheesecake. It was super generous but we ended up going up to order and pay for two slices of cheesecake. It was very decadent, maybe a little too sweet for me but they had a ton of different flavors that all looked delicious. The customer service definitely earned the 5 stars for me on this one, I would visit again if I was ever back in town.
