    We always meet up around this area to drop kiddos off at grandparents for the summer. They picked this spot for a meet up. So it's a very tiny spot, never seen so much parking lot and very little restaurant. I didn't go in having high expectations because well, Louisiana isn't known for their bbq... The staff consisted of very young adults. They were all very friendly and took care of us well. My 6 y/o got a kids rib plate and the employee added the end piece as well. Score!! My teen and I shared the plate full and everybody else got a chopped brisket sandwich. I like going to bbq joints and trying a little bit of everything, so the Plate Full was perfect!! Wish more places had options like this. That being said, the chicken was super juicy and smoky, the Turkey was okay, the brisket was not my favorite, sausage had a bit of spice, and the pulled pork was exactly how it should be. The sides were where it was at!! The Mac n cheese was phenomenal, potato salad was fantastic, the beans were smoky and full of flavor, and the cobbler was a perfect finish to the meal. Even the sliced bread (which they toast) was amazing. While the staff weighs the meat, you're responsible for getting your own sides. Be prepared to pay for water, only .40cents, just throwing it out there. Hahaha I would def return, can't beat those prices for bbq anywhere else. Cute little bbq joint where the ambiance is very local, small town!! Don't miss it.

    This is one of my favorite places to come to whenever I venture out to Louisiana. I first went in 2019 and came back in 2024. The quality is exactly how I remember it except this time, all of the food was hot on the first time around. You walk in and order at the counter. The staff is quite friendly and always willing to help you. There's also a drive thru however I've never used it. I ordered the two meat plate while my aunt ordered the rib plate. I told the employee which side I wanted and they explained that you serve yourself your own sides. I've never been to a restaurant that allows you to serve yourself your own sides but I am not complaining at all. They must have changed this since the last time I came here because I remember them serving me my sides. It's no big deal as I kindly helped myself to a side of beans and cole slaw. Everything was delicious! My favorite part of my meal were the baked beans. I wish I had that recipe because those beans were full of flavor and love. The sausage was tasty and so was the brisket (albeit it was a bit dry but it was fine with BBQ sauce). The two meat plate was around $12 which is a great deal for the amount of food you get. We sat inside the restaurant to enjoy our meal. Overall, this is one of my favorite BBQ spots and my Californian born self is sad that we don't have Hot Rod close by! I'll be back next time I'm in town.

    Food is a solid 4/5 but the Ambience and service is 2/5. The servers rarely smile and the greetings are generally dry at best.

    Beans are cobbler are good. But there's better meat elsewhere. I like the pickles and onions.

I love the shrimp kabob. It has peppers, onions, and huge mushrooms. It may have had some squash or zucchini as well It's a fantastic value and is so good! I like the rice and black beans that are served with it. Fries are hand cut and served in large portions. Burgers are huge, well seasoned, and I'm pretty sure the meat is ground fresh in each location. The dining area has a diner type decor and is huge. It easily accommodated larger groups, but get there early! It's a popular place! Drinks are self serve-coke products, but also Diet DP Our family of 6 gets everything they want for under $100-that's with two kids eating the kids menu. They love the little boats that come with the kids meal. That's a pretty good deal for seafood!

To the point where the cook in the window asked if she, the front food line employee, took my order- and she said "i already taken their order" then some people walk inside and she turns to the counter, points to the people behind me and my boyfriend and says "i can take the next person's order" That is when i looked at her and said , "that is us, we are next" and she looks at me and says "oh yall are next" and i gave her my order and i walked away. I don't understand what was so hard about asking me if anyone had taken care of us and/or if anyone took our order as we stand at the front counter right in front of the register patiently waiting for our order to be taken. I think her name is Dasha maybe-not quite sure. Cashier's name was Issabella. I've worked various places in the food industry and that just seemed unprofessional. She had no problem taking anyone else order after me. Took her 13 mins between my best friend's order being taken to mine getting taken. Speedy service..? mm that needs work.
