    This is the new prices on the menu as of 5/5/24

    The people who work here are very nice and the place looks clean. The food is very well prepared and good as well.

    I have been entertaining a mad craving for a battered, fried pork chop for the last 3 months - so much so that I created a Nextdoor post about it. One of my neighbors responded and raved about this place so I decided to give it a try. Interior / Exterior They're located in an older strip mall on Powder Springs Rd - private parking lot - right across the street from Dollar Tree as you head towards the square. If you hit Kastaways, you come too far. The interior of the restaurant is sparse, but clean. Customer Service The hit it out of the park on this one! Upon entering the establishment, I was enthusiastically greeted by a cute, tiny little lady - Miss Taneka (Miss Pat's daughter). She took my order and told me a little about their history. Miss Pat always loved cooking for family and friends ... and dreamed of having her own restaurant - and after she retired - they decided to make her dream come true! They've been at their location for 3 years (as of Feb 2022). After my second visit, I felt like we were old friends. Lol. We bonded over our love of Southern food and small fluffy dugs (I'm a 'Pom Mom' and she's a Yorky Lady) and fear of bats (don't ask - see my other reviews). I didn't get to meet Miss Pat (one of the Chefs / cooks AND the restaurant's namesake) until today and let me just say, "The apple did not fall very far from the tree!" Miss Pat was super sweet as well. We had a bit of mishap with the ribs from our previous visit. I wasn't able to reach them before closing Sat, so I messaged them. They close early on Sunday and are closed all day Monday, but they told me to come back in - satisfaction guaranteed! I went back today - Miss Pat and Miss Taneka could not have been more sweet, accommodating and gracious. Kay (Miss Pat's son, also one of the cooks and the Grillmaster) was a little brusque, but most chefs are like that. Lol. Price / Affordability I think the prices are very affordable - especially during the pandemic. If I'd realized that my pork chop meal came with one pork chop, I would have asked whether I could add another on, but I'm greedy when it comes to meat. Lol. Most dinners are $12 - $15, ribs cost more. They also have some $6.99 lunch specials. Food They have chicken, pork chops, BBQ, turkey wings, chitterlings (aka chitlins), oxtails and seafood (catfish, tilapia, whiting, shrimp). They also have a dizzying array of vegetables to choose from. In deference to many people's dietary restrictions , they don't heavily season the vegetables or use pork for flavoring. I love sautéd or 'fried' cabbage (I could eat it every day) and green beans, but they gotta have a little dash of bacon fat or chicken bouillon to jazz 'em up. On my initial visit, I ordered a pork chop meal (1 fried pork chop, french fries, mac & cheese, omitted the bread). I also ordered a slab of ribs. My macaroni & cheese was good, but it was a bit odd in that it was a single layer of mac & cheese. My french fries were dropped before grease was hot enough, so they were oily and limp - but that was fine - I didn't eat them so it saved me additional fat and calories. When I went back, I got pork chops, green beans, rice, gravy and corn muffins. The pork chops were outstanding both times. Seasoned perfectly, crispy coating outside, tender inside! I don't eat rice, gravy or cornbread (unless it's the deep South pancake style), so I'll let you know what J thinks later tonight. Overall I like this spot. There's a lot of variety on the menu and the customer service alone will keep me coming back!

    RAW..Smothered chicken, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and corn muffin

Our son and DIL recently went and had a good experience and asked if they could take us -- and who is going to turn down BBQ?! We went in around 5:45pm on a Saturday and got seated quickly, but the place filled up pretty quick after us. Ayla (?) was our server, and extremely sweet and knows that menu! We did have two flies buzzing around us in our corner which were quick and we only eventually killed one of the two -- part of the reason for the 3 and not a 4. Two of us ordered the ribeye, one got the chopped brisket, and one got a salad with chicken. The ribeyes were tasty, they just lacked the marbling found in a good steak at that price. (Another reason for the 3) And the chopped brisket was more shredded and wasn't as moist as you'd expect -- even after asking for some fattier pieces. (Final reason for the 3) sides were good -- TONS of onion rings/straws, delicious mashed potatoes and green beans. Overall: server was great, minor improvements needed on the food, and something needs to be done to deal with the flies INSIDE the restaurant.

I chose Carolina Vinegar Pork Sandwich with a soft drink. We began with their complimentary warm bread - two for each of us. This was a great way to begin our meal - while waiting for what we ordered. My wife's salad was large enough that she only ate half - bringing the other half home for later. My pork sandwich was very enjoyable- with half of the vinegar sauce and part of the slaw. I chose an ear of corn for my side. The sandwich, sauce, slaw, and corn were thoroughly enjoyed. The quantity of chopped pork in my sandwich was perfect. The corn - wrapped in foil - was slathered in butter and cooked just right- neither undercooked or overcooked. As far as this was from our home, it was decided that we need to return soon. Food, service, friendliness, and cleanliness were just what we expected - and received.

I got the beef brisket, and the other was the chicken. I think the chicken was better. But either way, they're amazing and HUGE. You will be full with this. Have to get the lemon ice box pie. It's a nice light ending to the meal. I do wish there was more lemon flavor, but it was still great.

We entered and at first I was concerned because there were only two people in the restaurant. We ordered and received our food quickly and from the first bite of brisket I was hooked!!! We had the collards, mac & cheese, baked beans and Brunswick Stew. I was not happy with the Brunswick Stew but I'm hard to please on that item. I haven't had good batch in years. The people that know how to prepare it properly don't work in restaurants. Was charged $1 for two extra slices of bread. Uhhhhh really...it's bbq! Another drawback for me was the young lady working the register was pulling at the skin on her lips and I remember thinking oh lord she has her hands on her mouth, the register, the phone and everything else. I realize some people have nervous tendencies and try not to be too obnoxious when dining out but I sure miss the days of face masks and gloves. While we ate more and more people came in and when we left there was six people dining in, multiple pick up order, so it's a steady flow of people. The condiments station was neat and tidy. The restaurant itself is decorated with cute signage and quotes which lead to a relaxing environment. I grabbed a catering menu as I was leaving because everything was so delicious I have to convince my employer to treat us to bbq this summer. You can't go wrong with the strawberry lemonade.

Now, I never write reviews, but this brisket was just so bad I had to warn other barbecue lovers not to let themselves down. The meat had no bark on most of the pieces, and also there was no smoke ring. Not sure if it was made in an oven or what. Overall it lacked that delicious salty smokey flavor that makes brisket so amazing. On top of that it was quite chewy and just an unpleasant texture overall.

The meal was pretty good. I enjoyed the barbecue the coleslaw is standard coleslaw. Nothing special . We did not get any desserts. I would go back again and try the pulled pork or the burnt ends.

It is rare to find a place that excels equally in food quality, service, and pure hospitality, but this place hits a home run on all fronts.

You can taste the quality and its seasoned to perfection. The staff matches this excellence with their service; they are incredibly attentive, warm, and fast, making sure your dining experience is flawless from start to finish.
