One of my favorite spots in town. This seemingly abandoned decommissioned former gas station/ garage puts out some solid BBQ.
It's nothing to look at, if you drove past you'll likely question the legitimacy of my review. Upon entering you'll likely question your decision to stop. The interior is not nice. This place is an absolute dive. Watch where you step a half a dozen tables crammed in a tiny dining area.
They serve BBQ, burgers sandwiches and they have a meat and 3 lunch for 6.99. A very good value on good quality food.
One of my coworkers was brave enough to go with me today. The others were too afraid based on the appearance of the facility.
I had the half smoked chicken with "hot" white sauce, okra, blackeyed peas and greens. It was fantastic. The smoked chicken here is moist and fall off the bone tender with a beautifully smoked skin. It's lightly based in a red sauce and accompanied by a white sauce hot or regular. If hot is an option I generally go with it. The sides were quite good as well. The okra was freshly prepared and crispy, the greens were well seasoned and the peas were as good if not slightly better than the greens.
My coworker got the grilled chicken tenders with macaroni salad, green beans and something else. He enjoyed his meal as well.
I prefer this place to a more popular meat and 3 in town.
Family owned and operated.
Apparently the owner has a stable of young collegiate baseball players as there is a rather large display paying homage to his children and their accomplishments to the left of the counter where you order. The owner and a patron were discussing their respective accomplishments and baseball careers next to us and it was hard not to hear. I like that. It's a small dive but he knew everyone that walked in the door with exception to us out of towners.
It's a must stop at least once for me whenever I'm in town. read more
