Ordered pickup so service and ambiance not considered. This is MY OPINION below
Had the trial smoked quail, had combo plates with brisket, pulled pork, and burnt ends.
Quail was a little tough but average for a game bird. Smoke flavor was very mild if present. Seasoning was a little heavy on black pepper.
Brisket was falling apart though a little on the dry side, but within acceptable limits. The bark could be considered too thick by some but I don't mind.
Burnt ends were exactly that. Both the brisket and burnt ends tasted like the smoke was a little too acrid (not enough oxygen to the flame) though some folks like that. To me it gives Liquid Smoke taste.
Pulled pork was tender, a touch dry without sauce but you don't want it too moist before adding sauce so I would say acceptable level. Not too smoky.
The seasoning on the meats were not as complex flavored as I'd hoped, black pepper heavy but not really any heat, just kind of a "daily driver" type blend.
The sauce...I was not prepared for a vinegar based sauce in South Mississippi. Think western Carolina/Lexington type. Tangy but with a little sweet tomato sauce. There was red pepper flakes in it but no heat to note.
Potato salad - on the drier side, not a creamy type. Texture was fine, actual potato flavor. Tastes like extra dill was added on top of the dill relish, which I don't mind but may be too strong for some.
Baked beans were present, did their job.
Price was reasonable for three plates, portions were more than you'd expect these days. Food was ready at pickup time and at reasonable temp. Cash price is different from card price. All considered and among the local options for bbq I'd rank them at 2nd place. read more
