    Brisket plate with Cole slaw and Okra
    Caroline K.

    What was a former bbq place has changed hands, got a face lift and is now another bbq place. First, everyone working there was super nice and personable. In this day and age it's a rare find. Even if their food wasn't as good as it was, all of their servers would be bringing up the slack. Girls and the guy...talked, smiled and genuinely looked like they cared about the places success! Salad was standard, but all of the ingredients were fresh and the ranch dressing was house made. I ended up opt-ing for the Alabama white sauce instead because the heat level was better. There wasn't much smoke on the chicken...that would be my only "negative" feedback-maybe that's the point or maybe they are using electric smokers? Wings: Were lightly fried and lightly tossed in sauce of my choice, which was the mesquite bbq...zero complaints on the taste and consistency of the wings. Neither over nor undercooked, they were perfect. Brisket Plate: Brisket was super tender and more on the roasted side of the spectrum. I would imagine they smoke and then add it into liquid to keep it from drying out waiting on table service. The bark is lost because of the liquid factor and what smoke there might have been is muted, much like the chicken. Okra was crispy and the Cole slaw was basic-but had enough Mayo for it to pass as slaw! Baked Potato: Standard set up. The potato wasn't dried out, which was nice. Pulled pork was tender...copy and paste the smoke flavor, written above. Grilled Cheese....it was grilled and had cheese. Fries were hot and crispy. We will surely be back!

    Great protein options. Brisket was very tender and juicy. The house bbq sauce was also very good.

    Absolutely the worst BBQ ever! I walked in and expected great things. I knew when I asked did they…read morehave baby back ribs and the cashier said I'm not sure and just stood there with no response I was in trouble. I ordered two racks of ribs a full chicken a pint of Cole slaw, baked Beans and Mac and cheese. The sides were horrible. The Cole slaw was put in a food processor and chopped so it was like a sauce and overly sweet. The baked beens were mah and the Mac and cheese was over cooked and inedible! After waiting 45 min for my food I asked how much longer. I was told that they were out of chicken and they had to make more. I asked how much longer would it take and the woman responds with I don't know with a blank stare. I asked if she could find out. She came back with they are in the oven and there was no way to know. I sat down for another 20 min and finally was given my order. I went home opened the boxes and to my surprise the chicken was old! Not fresh and recently cooked. What they did was when I complained the cook gave me old chicken that was so dry and overcooked that I could not eat it. The ribs had to be also day old as they were dry and just bad. Short version $80 dollars worth of BBQ that went in the trash. I suspect that this at one time was great BBQ when the father ran it. Now it is run by the son and they don't care about quality food!

    Give them a 5 star. Wish the dining room was open. Keep up the good work.....................BBQ…read moreSandwich................
