A bit of advice: here's the PLACE for tasty, meaty ribs, seasoned perfectly and smoked so completely. Wow. It's a deal too--two rib plates with two sides each (and these are not puny servings) and two drinks: $31 with tax included. Recommended sides: Lima beans, field peas, Mac and cheese, and okra--lightly battered, fried spot on where pieces are crispy and not soggy. Such quality and quantity-- you have to go to the smaller southern towns to find these places anymore. Easy enough to find off the interstate, parking on site but limited number of tables inside. Place does a robust take-out business.

Ribs/Mac'n cheese/ bbq beans

The food was decent, but the atmosphere was crap. I really didn't feel safe or comfortable eating. Maybe a better location would be better....or maybe clean up the place/surroundings.

Smoked BBQ Chicken w/potato salad & baked beans

This restaurant has become one of our go to BBQ places while I am visiting. No issues with the customer service or food, both very consistent. They are busy so if not dining in, call ahead is a plus! It's a small restaurant but the food has big flavor. On my last visit, I tried the Smoked BBQ chicken w/potato salad and baked beans. If ever in the area, stop by and give it a try!

Brisket, coleslaw, collard greens, corn muffin. Sweet tea is really good.

We were traveling and passing through on way back to MN. I had not any southern Barbecue in Alabama. This had somewhat good reviews on Yelp. We were the only white people inside at first. My parents don't eat much and wanted to split. One guy kept saying that's not enough food. Sister convinces us to just order alacarte combo. She kept calling my mom "mama". It was hilarious. They ordered beef ribs, pork ribs, beans and fried okra. I had brisket, coleslaw and collard greens and corn muffin. The brisket was smoked nicely but dry, and some fat, which I trimmed. Needed Barbecue sauce. The Barbecue sauce was awesome. They should bottle and sell it. The collard greens, coleslaw and fried okra were good. Sweet tea was awesome with a free refill. Corn bread muffin, could have been moister. My parents liked the pork ribs, but said beef ribs were tough. A sheriff's deputy was packing and sat at a nearby table. Felt very safe. Recommend stopping.

Vegetable sides

Absolutely perfect! So glad I came across this place while visiting. It is about a mile from the hospital so easy access for people staying with patients.

Rib plate, fried okra and Lima beans

Don't usually rate many places... but, WOW! Food was EXCEPTIONAL! I'll definitely be back when I travel back through here. Friendly service, delicious food! If you usually eat ranch with your okra... don't do it here. You don't need it lol

The food was spectacular. I felt right at home eating my favorite southern cooking. Will be back again on future road trips.

Back in the day the food was great! Now they are cutting corners. Everything out the can and nothing homemade! Go back to the old recipes!

My grandmother had the chicken as well with collard greens, and she enjoyed every bit of it.
