It's tucked away in a strip mall next to Kroger. First time I saw it I thought it was a Vape shop but paying closer attention it was the bbq joint. Walking in it has a rustic country flair. Steeping up to the counter the young man was very helpful is describing everything. My wife ordered a pulled pork sandwich with cowboy baked beans and fries. I ordered the pulled pork quesadillas with mac n cheese with banana pudding for dessert. All the good was very good. The stand outs were the quesadillas and the cowboy baked beans. Least favorite was the Mac n cheese; it was a bit gritty. (-1) Recommend you give them a try.

We are those people that will cut around half an inch of steak to avoid the fat. But we stopped there because I was craving Brunswick stew. We stopped in and got a barbecue platter with baked beans and coleslaw and an extra large Brunswick stew and another side of beans. This order was to go.. I should've saved the money on the Brunswick stew and invested it back into the barbecue because the Brunswick too had very little flavor. I want a smoky flavor and unfortunately this had none.. there was also no chicken that we could detect in Brunswick stew has to have some chicken. It's a coleslaw was good, very good. The beans were ok, nothing spectacular.

The cole slaw had just the right amount of mayo - not too heavy, bland extremely tasty. We'll be back!
