Never had oxtails before, but so glad we tried them based on other reviews because they are delicious. The sides are generous. The brisket was great and the fried catfish was probably the cleanest tasting I've ever had and spiced to perfection.

It tastes like it is brined and then smoked creating a wonderful combination of flavors, even with no sauce at all. The beans are smokey sweet as well, a perfect compliment.

Great food. Great price…read more Just passing through on a road trip and took a chance. Well worth the few minutes off the interstate.

Holy moly! This place is amazing! Service was outstanding! Such a friendly bunch. We came in for…read moredinner and the only disappointment was no getting there sooner to try the chicken and wings. We got pulled pork, ribs, fried bologna, brisket, and the sausage though, just to try all that was left and it hit on each one. Unsauced and tried with the various sauces they have (and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch there either). Ribs were perfectly cooked. Just long enough they come off the bone easily but the meat was not mush. Seasoned with a dry rub so good unsauced I nearly forgot to try it sauced (which also slaps something fierce with that meat gold sauce). The brisket is reminiscent of some great Texas style smoked brisket. Nice salt and peppery bark. Got a mix of fatty and lean and neither side was disappointing. The sausage w/ pickle bbq sauce is dangerously good. And the pulled pork was great too, I liked it especially paired with mango fire. Mushrooms were superbly BATTERED (not breaded) so as not to over do the batter to mushroom ratio. The white Mac was also a staple side. Such a good creamy cheese sauce and not soapy on the noodle shells. Last but not least least, DO NOT SLEEP ON THE FRIED BOLOGNA. On some toast. *chef's kiss* they fry it in their own beef tallow.

Road snack! Pit stop for BBQ right off the highway. Wish I could be more enthused…read more We pulled in around lunch time, there were a couple of people seated. To the left of the door was a window opening to the back with a woman standing there with a baby on her hip, we were looking around to see where to go and she let us know to head to the second window to the back. Upon arriving at the second window, there was a young man standing there. He didn't greet us, didn't smile, just stood there. I indicated it was our first time in and asked a question about the menu, he responded with the answer and then just continued to stand there. I was very uncomfortable so just ordered a sampler with nothing else. For the three options, i chose pulled pork, brisket, and 2 ribs. The food came out right away but no comments or anything. We saw the BBQ sauce area and I took a couple of options in condiment cups with no lids available. grabbed some napkins as we would continue our road trip and eat in the car. I am never a big fan of pulled pork; I have my favorite and compare all to it. This had more flavor than most I have had but it was really dry for being ordered early in the day. The brisket was tender and the fat attached gave flavor. The ribs were fine, also dry. This was a pit stop on our road trip because we love BBQ, this just wasn't for us.

I know two people who raved about this place probably because it's one of the few restaurants in…read moreHarrisburg. We found it to be adequate. Barbecue was good but not fantastic. Half slab of ribs was a little on the small side. Hot Brown brisket was not exactly hot and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant Side salad was nice. Fried okra was good. Service was friendly and attentive. When we got there, they had sold out of the barbecued chicken. They also had no homemade pie left. I guess if you want that you need to get there early If you're in the area, it's a nice place to stop. We would probably go there again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there like we did this time.

Decent local spot for classic American barbecue fare…read more It's hard for me to write a fair review as they were out of ribs and some of the sides when I stopped by for an early weekend dinner. You seat yourself and pay at the counter which made for a bit of an awkward experience initially, but thankfully a fellow customer directed us. Had the chopped brisket and fries + BBQ pork w/ baked beans. Everything was good, but nothing to write home about. Maybe them being out of several menu items for the day is a good sign, but I'll have to try for myself before I can comment.

The pulled pork had very good flavor.we thought the sides we got were a bit lacking. Mac and cheese was ok. Not as creamy smooth as I prefer but still had good flavor. Creamed corn was a little too creamy and very sweet. Not our taste preference. All in all I definitely would go here again and you should too! Side note the bathrooms were very clean!
