    Bloody chicken
    Jayly J.

    The service was amazing as Stephanie took care of me very well. But the lemonade tasted like soap. Stephanie brought me sweet tea but it was not sweet. The chicken was still bloody (see the pics). I was really disappointed.

    Soggy bread beef brisket sandwich
    A D.

    The price does not justify the taste of $10 sandwich. The bread is hella soggy and i had to add the sauce from packets.

    Couldn't finish it.

    Was always great -- has been closed much too long. The Buford location also good, but it's quite a long drive.

    There's an occasional $10 rib and pork combo with two sides that's worth dropping whatever you are doing to go get!

    This is not your corner bbq joint. This is more of an upscale bbq spot. It also gave off a romantic…read moretype of vibe. Seating is very close and intimate and nice music is playing in the background. At first glance it seemed like a place you would want to come back to again and again. The waitress/cashier was very welcoming upon our entrance. I don't know if she was one of the owners but she was very nice and apologetic. We drove 30 minutes to try out this restaurant and let's just say it was not worth the drive. Since it was our first time there we were excited to try some of the ribs. Unfortunately they were out of the pork ribs. They were also out of the mac and cheese. That was a little disappointing but I figured because we got there around 7 and they close at 8 they could have run out of items. No biggie. We opted to get the fried chicken with fries and fried mushrooms. I got the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings, and a lemonade. The lemonade was perfect, to me it wasn't too sweet and had just enough tartness to make you want to drink more. Presentation was EVERYTHING. When the sandwich came out I wasn't even sure how to eat it lol. It looked great on the wooded plate. I wish the plates would have been bigger because the sandwich was a little sloppy, nonetheless it was presented very classy. The bowl that the onion rings came in was also wood and it was cute and different. I have not seen dishes like this before. The chicken was on one of the wooded classy plates a little small for the chicken but cute as well. Now here is the part where I had to deduct stars. The chicken was fried perfectly, it was juicy, crispy and hot. The only thing that was missing was the seasoning. It was very bland there was absolutely no salt or pepper or any flavoring that I could taste on the chicken. I just knew we couldn't go wrong with the chicken because after all it is a bbq spot right? Wrong..maybe because it was late they were just trying to get the food out so they could go home. But whatever the case it was not good. We did not have any bbq sauce or hot sauce. It wasn't offered and we didn't ask. Same thing with the fried mushrooms. The coating did not have any flavor and we did not have any dipping sauce. Again we didn't ask and it wasn't offered. The waitress did provide ketchup with both meals, but I feel like something was off with the flavoring. The onion rings were good and the steak fries were good. I would not drive that distance just for those items. One couple at a table next to ours had something that looked like fish or very large chicken tenders. Either way hers did look good but I wondered if it had any flavor. Hers was plain, no sauce or anything like that. I did see she had something to dip the food in and it looked like she enjoyed it. As I mentioned previously it is a very cosy atmosphere. It was very humid inside though and the sunlight was beaming in hard. The waitress tried to close the curtains but that didn't help much because the curtains were kind of see-through so the sun still hit us hard in the face and back, and again because it was so late maybe they had turned down the a/c. The waitress did apologize but basically there was nothing she could do about that. They do have a rewards program that you can sign up for to aquire points and discounts on things but I wasted time signing up because I will not be returning. I was so excited to have a new bbq place to frequent but unfortunately this will not be the one. To end on a positive note, the presentation was everything and the environment was very inviting.

Also, they were out of brisket which is what the whole family was craving, so two red flags. We wanted to run out and go to the Mexican Restaurant next door, but then the manager came out and change our whole mood. We got chicken wings, a veggie platter, a burger and beef ribs. It was so delicious and you can tell they really season their food and cook their food with love. The ambience was gorgeous and felt so cozy. I definitely am coming back to this restaurant.

The Mac and cheese was also fantastic. It was rich and flavorful. Very special. My one surprise was the root beer. I tried that and it was really smooth and flavorful. Great taste. The service is always outstanding. See you again soon. Love this family establishment.

    Went to It's Different BBQ Company for lunch with my partner at exactly 12:00 PM on Friday, March…read more27, 2026, and surprisingly, we had the whole place to ourselves. The dining area looked clean and well-kept, and the hostess/cashier was genuinely friendly--she took the time to walk us through the menu, drinks, sauces, and even the different pickles, which I appreciated. We ordered the brisket, ribs, mac & cheese, green beans, two sauces (both free), house and spicy pickles (also free), and a Banana Cream Soda. 2 Slices of Brisket - $9 (3.5/5): The brisket was solid overall--tender with a nice, juicy interior and a lightly smoky aroma that came through in each bite. It wasn't dry at all, which is always a win, though it could've had a bit more depth in flavor on its own. That said, it really came alive when paired with the spicy sauce, which added a bold, tangy kick that elevated the meat nicely. 2 Pork Spare Ribs - $7 (4/5): These were definitely a highlight. The ribs were beautifully seasoned with a savory, slightly sweet rub that formed a flavorful crust on the outside. The meat was incredibly tender--so much so that it fell clean off the bone with just a fork, no effort needed. Juicy, rich, and super satisfying, especially with the spicy sauce adding an extra layer of heat and tang. Mac & Cheese - $4.50 (4/5): Very impressive side. The spiral noodles were cooked perfectly--tender but still holding their shape, not mushy at all. What stood out most was the texture: there was a subtle crunch on top, possibly from a light breadcrumb or rice-based topping, which added a nice contrast. The cheese sauce was creamy, rich, and coated every curve of the spirals, so each bite had these little pockets of cheesy goodness that almost "popped" with flavor. The sprinkle of green onions on top added a fresh, slightly sharp brightness that cut through the richness and made the dish feel surprisingly refreshing. Green Beans - $4.50 (3.5/5): These had a great bite to them--crisp-tender with a fresh, vibrant texture. The seasoning was flavorful with a savory base, but what surprised me most was the subtle heat that built up as you ate more. It wasn't overpowering, just a nice, unexpected kick that made them more interesting than your typical side. House Pickles (free) - 2/5: These were very crunchy and had a sharp, vinegary tang that leaned heavily on the sour side. While they were fresh and crisp, the flavor felt a bit one-dimensional and overly acidic for my taste. Spicy Pickles (free) - 4/5: Much better balance here. Still nice and crunchy with that same sour backbone, but the added heat gave them a bold, zesty edge that made them way more enjoyable. The spice lingered just enough to keep you reaching for another. Banana Cream Soda - $2 (2.5/5): This was light, fizzy, and refreshing with a smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel. The banana flavor was present but very subtle--more of a faint, artificial sweetness than a rich, ripe banana taste. It leaned more toward a mellow vanilla-cream soda vibe with just a hint of banana in the background. Not bad, just a bit underwhelming if you're expecting a bold, dessert-like banana flavor. Overall, a solid BBQ spot with friendly service and some standout items--especially the ribs and mac & cheese. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for a laid-back, no-frills lunch.

I order it every year for family gatherings and Thanksgiving, and it never disappoints. The only issue during our visit was that the inside of the restaurant was very smoky.

We ended up eating on the patio, which was nice, with good weather, shade, and no bugs. Overall, it was still a good experience, and I would definitely go back.

Not sure where he got the name from, as it was not mine, but the food listed was correct so it didn't matter. After about 25 minutes of waiting, I noticed that several people who came in after us were eating, and others ahead of us were leaving. I walked up to the counter to ask, but the employees did not acknowledge that I was there at all. I looked at the trays they were putting food on and saw that all the order times were almost 30 minutes after our order was placed, and I did not see a ticket for my order at all. Employees were also shouting at each other that they were running out of some items. After about 10 minutes of standing there, an older employee asked me what I was looking for, and I told her I had been waiting over 30 minutes and didn't see my order. She barked back, "everyone's waiting!" I went on to explain that everyone who was around me in line was gone, and I believed my order had been skipped. She snatched my ticket from my hand and then informed me they were out of everything we had ordered. No explanation for why we had just been left to sit there, and no apology. She told us we could pick from what they had left or get a refund. With it being Sunday, there were not many options and we were also going to a movie and had to leave soon for that. We ended up just getting some wings and brisket. Never again.
