It absolutely doesn't compare to what I'm used to at my regular joints in New Orleans, Texas etc. etc. During my first visit I was considering making a return visit to sample their burger but after looking at pictures of the burger and from my experience of their BBQ I just think I'm not going to ever be motivated enough to make a return visit as to me it just doesn't ring my bell as I've been so spoiled by Gonzo's Smokehouse in Luling, LA (best in the WORLD as far as I'm concerned) Austin, TX BBQ (second places-ish with other Texas joints) and Kansas City BBQ (always fighting for the top spot)... Once you've experienced Nirvana it is hard to fall back to mere mortal morsels although if you put that BBQ meat in front of me when I'm hangry I will totally destroy it like a pack of lions or school of rabid piranhas as I'm all about a big pile of meat and my carnivore beast instincts will take over!!!

My smoked chicken sandwich was good and full of meat. To the point I needed a fork and knife to finish eating it. My side of collard greens were good but missing the smoked turkey flavor. My husband got a sandwich and 2 sides combo and had significantly less meat than I did in his sandwich. Not sure if that's because I ordered just a sandwich and 1 side vs a combo. The food came out fast enough and I believe the value of food received for the amount paid was good, but I was expecting more flavor. Overall, I don't think we'll be rushing back given the proximity to the start/ end of our drive.

I was finally able to make a point of making a special trip over there on a Saturday late afternoon. Unfortunately it still wasn't the best timing for a first trip or making a review as we were limited to what we could order based on the fact that their hours state they close at 5 but they shut the kitchen down at 4:30 and we got there just after 4. It's hard going out for dinner to a place that closes at 4:30. I ordered a sausage sandwich which to my delight was not the monotonous Conecuh. It was really good and reminiscent of some of the whole in the wall places in Texas that does good sausage. The only draw back was that being near closing time they didn't have links but was able to do slices. It was good but hard to eat. My hubs got chicken and ribs. I liked the ribs... they still had some bite, tender but not falling apart, and the smoke is mild, not overkill like so many other places do. Hubs wasn't a huge fan of but I thought they were nice. The chicken was on the dry side, but I never go to a bbq joint to order chicken so it's not a deal breaker for me. The only major downer was that all of our sides seemed to be standard pre-made and ordered items, not made in-house. I also liked the hole in the wall vibe, the friendly staff, and the divine smoke aroma that lets you know you're in the right bbq joint. All in all I enjoyed their Q and will need to go back when I can get the timing right to sample their steam table offerings.

For sides I enjoyed the BBQ baked beans & smoked potato salad. The smoked jalapeño sausage had a great taste as well. Looking forward to the dessert too they recommend the chocolate cake but I am leaning toward the banana pudding. I drank the tea which had free refills but for soda they have cans and bottles. The resturant is a converted old gas station and has a welcoming casual ambiance. Pictures on the walls show the restaurant when it used to be a service station.

We left with overstuffed stomachs because even though we were full, we couldn't bare to throw any of it away so we crammed it in anyway. If you're in the area, you have got to try it!

Hubby opted for the Hickory Pit Burger after I read the description out loud to him! Check this out: BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Onion Rings (on the burger) and good old Cheddar Cheese. He loved it! You get a side with your burger and so we both had fries. I had the steak fries and he had regular. Both were great! Things to know: The restaurant opens at 5AM and closes at 9PM, every day. They serve breakfast and have daily lunch & dinner specials. It is not a very big place, so I imagine there are times when you have to wait for a table. The next time we go, I think we may try the breakfast. We live in WeMo and this is only about 15 minutes from our house if you take Snow Road. Very friendly staff
