    Where do I start? Unfortunately, this visit was a big step down from the great experience I had here last summer. The service was slow and not very good--maybe our server was just having a bad day, but it really affected the meal. When we sat down, we let our server know that the rest of our party wouldn't be joining us after all and that she could take our order whenever she had a chance. Her response: "I have other tables to wait on." Not sure why that needed to be said--it just felt unnecessary. We waited quite a while, and in the meantime, another table that arrived after us (with a different server) got their drinks and food before we even had our order taken. When our food finally came, I ordered the baby back ribs, but they were overcooked and dry--definitely not the quality I remember from before. My uncle ordered a chopped BBQ tray but got something completely different. When we were ready to leave, we couldn't find our server and actually had to ask someone else to track her down so we could pay. To top it off, I noticed an automatic service fee added to the bill, which was surprising considering the level of service we received. Honestly, it was really disappointing compared to my previous visit. Hopefully, this was just an off day, but it's hard not to walk away frustrated.

    It's been a while since we ate here but stopped in today for a late lunch. There were only a few tables occupied so clearly the lunch rush was over. We were quickly seated and a waiter took our drink order. I thought maybe someone else would be our server as we waited for quite a while, which has always been something that doesn't happen here. Finally the waiter returned and took our order. After what seemed to be a longer than usual wait time I noticed a waitress at the pickup area looking at an order that I had seen sitting there for a while. She looked around for our waiter and was unable to get his attention so she was considerate to bring it to our table. Of course the fries were room temperature and the food barely warm. Since I just ordered a barbecue sandwich it wasn't a big deal but I did send the fries back. In a few minutes our waiter returned with fresh hot fries. When he brought our check I noticed a 3% Operational Fee added to the bill. This must be something new since we were there last. All in all this was not a very pleasant experience. Unfortunate.

    Great words to live by!!!

    I stopped in here passing through town while on vacation. The menu had plenty to choose from and the prices are reasonable. I had a hard time picking so I tried a sampler of three of their smoked meats, I chose pulled pork, beef brisket and baby back ribs. The dinner came with two sides and hush puppies, there were numerous choices for sides. The sides were typical southern fare including fried okra and collard greens plus many other choices, the hush puppies were made in house and were probably some of, if not the best I've ever eaten!! Everything was delicious and the servings were generous. We had a fantastic server who took great care of us. The dining area was very clean and neat and had some cool old antiques hanging on the walls. If you are in Mt. Airy NC. and want some great BBQ this is the place!!!

    This tiny tray was $14 after tax. I was quite disappointed with this to-go order. I can 2 to 3 times this amount of food for $10 elsewhere. The total was almost $35 dollars for two of these tiny trays and some hush puppies. They also now add a 3% surcharge to all orders due to the current state of the economy. I do understand the issue, but with the incredibly small size of meals makes it truly not worth it. Food was just OK nothing special. I truly hate to leave a negative review but I would NEVER spend my money here again. Very disappointed with my "meal".

    Excellent BBQ & DELICIOUS sides! We had 'cut' chicken with baked beans & coleslaw & a quarter chicken with Potato salad & Mac & cheese, served with hush puppies. All of the different BBQ sauces were fun to try!

He made sure everything was perfect! We started off with the Cheese Sticks with both ranch dressing and marinara sauce! The marinara sauce was really good! The ranch dressing was too watered down for my taste!!! The cheese sticks were hot and fresh! Very gooey and good! He ordered the 13 Bones burger with fries. The burger had amazing flavor! The fries were a bit too salty, but they were perfectly cooked and served hot! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with their homemade chips! I ordered an extra side of dressing for both my sandwich and the chips. I just cannot rave enough about how amazing my entire meal was! Those chips were PERFECT!!!! Already looking forward to our next visit! Most Sincerely, Dayla

It was very cold where we were sitting and the server allowed us to move to a warmer spot. We ordered a fried mushroom appetizer. This was very good. They came with ranch and I think it was the horseradish sauce. The orangish sauce was very good. I ordered 1/2 rack of dry ribs with mac & cheese and green beans, and 2 hushpuppies. You get a choice of Texas toast, hushpuppies, or rolls. My coworker ordered salmon. When the food came out, my ribs were wet. I told the server that I had ordered dry rub. He stated they were dry but had sauce on them. I'm sorry, that is not a "dry rib", in my opinion. The first piece of rib meat I ate was soft and juicy. The next two were super dry and I could not eat any more of them. My coworker joked that that was probably what they were referring to when they said "dry rub". The green beans were ok. I added a ton of pepper and some hot sauce. I saved the mac & cheese for lunch the next day. The hushpuppies were dense and needed a little more flavor. My coworker commented that her salmon was ok but nothing to write home about. I should have went with my first instinct and ordered from the kids menu. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is nice.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with answering some questions about the menu. They know the menu well and was knowledgeable of the preparation. I ordered the country fried chicken with gravy that is served over mashed potatoes with a hot roll and a side fried okra. It was a plate special for just under $10. Food came out hot and the chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Juicy and tender. I don't think the gravy was made from scratch but it was good white, peppered gravy. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes, not boxed. The okra may have been the frozen kind but it was fried and seasoned perfectly. I also ordered some ranch dressing on the side to dip the okra and chicken in and it was made from scratch ranch dressing and some of the best ranch I've ever had. The roll was like a breadstick and it was freshly baked, served hot and may have been made from scratch. It was a really good hot roll. Overall appearance was that it looked like it has been around for a while but had a cute, country diner vibe going on. I would eat there again if I'm passing through and would recommend to anyone wanting country style food with good service. The price was very reasonable with big, generous portions.
