They're exactly my style, great smoke flavor, great rub, and while tender they have a bit of a bite to them. Just the way I like it. The Mac and cheese was just like mom makes it, amazing. I got the spicy green beans and they were also tasty. The collards, what can I say, my wife could NOT stop talking about how good the collards greens were they were the first thing gone from her plate. The BBQ sauce was a bit sweet which normally isn't my thing but there is some secret ingredient in there I couldn't put my finger on that made me not be able to resist it. Lastly Michelle is high energy and fun. What a friendly person. Also loved her "Boss Lady" sign, I totally believe it. Great people, great food. If you're ever in town you've gotta swing by. Looking forward to our next trip that way because I really want to try the fried chicken too.

If I rate it for the food it's 4 stars. If rate it as a restaurant it's 2 stars or a 3 overall. It's good food. I had the sampler plate of pulled pork, brisket and chicken with baked beans and coleslaw. Baked Beans were "ok " but I did not care at all for the slaw. Personal taste leans more towards creamy slaw and this is all about the vinegar, which many prefer. My dinner companion had fried chicken and said it was very good.

We were ready to give up when Lively's popped up in the search . What a wonderful end for the search! The line at the drive through was long and we saw that as a good sign. Inside was a typical southern BBQ place which left us even more hopeful. The food was over the top wonderful! My grandson loved Brunswick stew and I am the biggest fan of ribs . He had the pulled pork sandwich with stew and I had a rib sandwich and we were both genuinely impressed! The portions were generous and the price was fair and the taste was excellent ! Everyone behind the counter was friendly ,fast and efficient. My grandson's exact words were " I am giving this experience a 10 out of 10." I'm in agreement with him .

I've been coming here for wings for around 15yrs and they are always magnificent. If you're a dry wing lover, be aware these are wet wings! Lots of sauce, just how I like it.
