To start, I was disappointed to find no pit, no open flames -- not even a grill in sight. The kitchen area looked clean, but that's not what I came for. I ordered a medium pit beef and a ham sandwich, both on Kaiser rolls. To my surprise, the food was heated up on a griddle. If I hadn't already paid, I would have left right then and there. The woman who took my order was polite, but frankly, service and friendliness aren't why I visited. I came expecting authentic pit meats, and this place falls short. It's not a smokehouse, nor does it resemble a proper pit beef stand. If you're looking for genuine pit beef, save your money and go elsewhere. I will add this.... The secret sauce is probably really good on some wings!

They even gave me trimmings for my dog, who was so happy he actually smiled. It's a spot on sammy served by lovely people at a great price.

I didn't know about Southern Blues until my work ordered it for our holiday party. It was AMAZING…read more I then ordered it for my daughter's grad party. Everyone agreed their chicken is outstanding - people were actually talking about it. Native Baltimoreans were saying it was the best chicken they had had in B-more. We also got the mac and cheese, cornbread, and the giant fruit platter-all of which were great. The fruit platter was fresh, and the fruit was ripe. The gentleman who coordinated my order (Vernon?) was patient and made the order easy. He helped me figure out how much to order and how to get and use the Sternos. On the day of the party, the food was delivered right on time and tightly wrapped to prevent spills and keep the hot food hot. The young man who delivered the food was equally as helpful and friendly as Vernon. Highly recommend this Baltimore gem.

Good tasting BBQ in a area not known for BBQ. Didn't know what to expect out of the food but I was…read morepleased with what we ordered. We ordered a meat platter with brisket, turkey and pulled pork. Everything was tasteful but the cornbread made the meal even better. The pork was vinegar based so that could not be to your liking. The owner was there and made sure I had a great experience with minimal issues. The one thing they didn't have was desserts. They had them advertised on the menu but didn't have any in stock due to the baker now showing up with the stock. This is a place I'd definitely go back and try more of the menu and to get a piece of that homemade cornbread.

The collard greens could've used more seasoning, but it still tasted pretty good. I thought the catfish was well seasoned & fried perfectly. The corn muffin was Delicious! I should've ordered more than one. Next time I think I will try the crab cakes. Since my last review I ordered 2 more times including today. Let me just say that this cornbread is so good it makes me wanna slap my momma.

I've known about this place for years, but was so off putted by it being inside a gas station (???!). It wasn't until a few months ago when I delivered an order from here through DoorDash that my curiosity had finally peaked. Today, I decided to give them a try. Ordered 3 dinners through DoorDash and even after tip, my total was only about $30! We kept it simple & ordered 3 fried chicken wing dinners, 2 with string beans, 1 with collard greens, and all 3 with the Mac and cheese........guys. The chicken was cooked in fresh grease (y'all KNOW how important that is!), was well seasoned, crispy and juicy. Wings were a decent size -- not pigeons or steroid huge. It was easily the best/my family's favorite part of the meal (I'm already thinking about trying the fried pork chops next ). According to my husband, the string beans were fine -- flavorful, but not seasoned heavily. The collard greens were seasoned and vinegary, like I like. The Mac & cheese was great too, seasoned and cheesy. Do you see a pattern here??? (SEASON YOUR FOOD FOR STARS ) There's so much more I want to say, but if you're not sold by now, then...idk? Trust me on this hidden gem. I'm looking forward to ordering from here again (most likely through DoorDash because that gas station is a little...um...) If the next experience is as good as this time, I've met my Corner Carryout replacement! ...oh yes, the only thing I didn't love was the corn muffin. What I didn't like about it, you might love and that's why reviews are subjective -- so give it a try! I respect the sweet contrast it provides with the savory meal though. Well played, Ms. Gloria.

This place used to be our favorite. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese, greens, and green beans had…read moreno flavor at all. We ordered a pulled chicken sandwich and got sliced chicken breast instead. I'll say I regretted tipping once we opened the fries. Ordered this to go and specifically asked for the gravy on the side so they didn't get soggy. I guess that was too difficult. Probably wouldn't waste my money here again since more than half our order was thrown away.

I think I might have set my expectations a bit too high…read more Pulling up to the restaurant and seeing the massive amount of chopped fire wood, I was like this place is going to be off the hook. Upon entering, I thought it was an interesting setup because I assumed that this spot was a restaurant/(dive)bar. Turns out it is a restaurant in a liquor store...or maybe it's a liquor store in a restaurant. I'll admit that this misunderstanding was on me. Someone suggested the restaurant, and I did not do any follow-up research. Although the restaurant is connected to a liquor store, you cannot consume alcohol inside. But, I guess that was not a deal breaker because I was more interested in some good ol' BBQ. At the counter, I started to look over the menu because there were quite a lot of interesting items. They have a long list of various BBQ/meat items and a bunch of sides. For my dining pleasure, I went with the two meat (general BBQ and sausage), two sides combo (greens and mac n cheese), which was about 18 bucks. The price for the amount of food wasn't too bad. To be frank the food was not what I expected. Ok, the food was not horrible, but I think that I might have set my expectations too high. Normally, when I think of Texas BBQ, I think of meat that is slowly cooked so that it's very tender. The meat here seemed like it was cooked on a grill and mixed with BBQ sauce immediately prior to serving. To me, the meat was a bit tougher than what I have normally experienced in most BBQ restaurants. Perhaps, the restaurant was having a bit of an off day during our visit.
