The large smokers caught our attention as we were passing by, with smoke billowing out--and the aroma of delicious smoked meat made us turn around and stop in. They were so nice and helpful with the food choices, and a special touch was the cook presenting the food to us before bagging the boxes for us to go. He was also very helpful in suggesting a cool (and apparently little known) picnic spot by the river! Perfect! I can't wait to go back! If you love BBQ, this place is the real deal.

I spoke at length with her and she gave me the whole rundown on the history and how the place came to be. Even her Dad being a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer!! If you're in the area DO NOT miss this place!! Thanks for everything, Ashley!! I'll DEF be back!!

Ok... alright... South Charleston, W. Va. I see what you're doing…read more Was passing through on my way home to SC and I yelped "soul food - Charleston, WV" and this popped up. Since I really only eat one big meal a day I was hoping this'd do. I gave it a shot. Had to park behind the restaurant because I didn't see any parking up front. Nice place. Looks like at night it could be a jumping little spot for drinks. I ordered something simple, fried chicken with yams, greens, and Mac. Great choice! Food was hot and tasty. Good portions too at a decent price. I only had water. If I come back up here I'd hit it again. It's not in the cut but across the river. Good food and good people.

The chicken was good, but I expected more seasoning. The greens&yams were phenomenal. The rolls seemed small and store bought, so I wasn't thrilled about that. So all in all, it was pretty good, but I wouldn't say excellent. The waitress was super sweet, and they had a station playing on TV where MJ was still black, so that ups the score for me! The only other complaint I had was that they didn't have grits, and that's what I was really wanting that day. Had to go get them from my usual place after I left. Oh, and the inside of the restaurant was really clean too, which I appreciate. As everyone on here has pointed out, it is a black owned business, so go eat some good food.. and if you have a problem, tell someone, I'm sure they'd accommodate, they seem like good folks.

Of all the food in the meal, my family enjoyed the potato salad and the bbq ribs. The chicken seemed like it was canned. The brisket was mostly fat. The pulled pork was dry. The Mac and cheese was bland and the cheesy potato bake tasted off. However, the ribs, which we liked, were very tender and very flavorful. Service: Couldn't have been nicer or more friendly. Ambiance: My family and I don't listen to country, so we aren't good judges of that. But the room was clean and inviting. We also got our food to go, so we aren't good judges for a full review of the ambiance there. Would we go there again? Possibly; if we wanted only ribs. But we'd probably always get it "to-go".

The french fries were freshly made and delicious, salads looked extremely fresh, and the service was quick with a great attitude. The restaurant and bathroom was clean and without any bad odors, wonderful value for lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries as you can see in my photos. Come hungry!

Who were polite, if not very welcoming to this non-local. They brought menus, rattled off the happy hour specials and took my order quickly, but then ... nothing much. No, "You're not from around here, are you?" or anything like it. On the plus side, the hazy IPA was quite good. Lots of stone fruit with only a moderate amount of hops. And the mini-corn dog appetizers BLEW ME AWAY! Better than I've had at many a county fair, and corn dogs are my weakness. These were hot, the breading nice and golden, and brought with mustard for dipping. All told, the prices were good. Less than $10 before tip for the happy hour specials, which were tasty. If I was made to feel welcome, I'd probably make the trip again. The food was good but lots of places have great grub. I'll find one of them next time.
