    This review is far overdue as we were there back in early July while on a road trip. We were just…read moretalking about it and I remembered that I needed to write this review. When we arrived there were no closed signs or anything but they were having a graduation party. Asked about takeout and they insisted that we join the party and wouldn't accept any payment, only accept a donation to the graduate if we wanted to (of course we did). This actually worked to our favor because we don't eat much so we got to sample very reasonable size portions of several options we might not have gotten to if we purchased a full meal to split. Also, since we were traveling, we wouldn't have been able to keep leftovers and would have felt bad about wasting it. It was also nice to meet and chat with folks from the area. It was one of the highlights of our first trip to this incredible state. The barbecue was so good we're still talking about it months later. The meats were exceptional. Perfect seasoning. Perfect smoke. Obviously high quality meat to start with. The sides were very satisfying as they were traditional, but at a very high standard. This was a place that would beat most, if not all of our local southern joints hands down. I don't know if we'll be back in that area again, but if we are this will be one of our stops for sure.

    I'm very fussy about my BBQ. Because of the reviews we decided to try it. Brisket is the best I've…read moreever tasted. Perfectly done. Pulled pork is excellent also. I had the dinner sampler. Sausage, I had the jalapeño, cheddar. 10/10. Pulled pork 9/10. Brisket 10/10. Mac & cheese 10/10. I used to live on the Virginia-north Carolina border & love the BbQ sauce from there. This was too sweet. But northerners might like it. (Yellow sauce) They also have original sauce. Mac & cheese tastes like my homemade straight out of a southern kitchen. You've never seen a baked potato like theirs. Huge with triple the normal amount of toppings you can put on it. Dessert- coconut cream pie. Disappointing. Peach cobbler is so easy to make & would taste much better. Huge & I mean huge proportions. My dish could easily feed 2-3 people. They are only open a couple days a week. Thursday & Friday when we went. Best place in Gaylord!!!! They also cater. Would be great for a lakeside party.
