We got here just as they opened on Saturday and a few larger parties had just come in. We started…read morewith mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and I had a diet Dr Pepper. Was super excited to see they have that good crushed ice! The mozzarella sticks were hot and fresh and they served them to us with their homemade ranch. My sister and I both got the breadsticks. Mom had a loaded baked potato and my fiance had the pulled pork sandwich lunch special. The good: mom's baked potato with all 3 meats was super good. The chicken was smoky and super tender and moist. Next time we would all probably choose just the chicken. It's a huge portion so have a big appetite if you order this. There's also a large variety of barbecue sauces on the table. We loved the mustard based one. Amanda's sauce is also smoky and a little sweet but super tasty. We didn't try the others. The okay, but I wouldn't say bad: the loaded breadsticks are good but they aren't as good as Mama Rosa's and it all comes down to the crust. Mama Rosa's are softer and cheesier. A little more buttery too. The ones at SJ's were good, but not great and the cheese seemed like it was probably pre shredded and bagged so it didn't melt down too good. No brown/caramelized areas of cheese on top, ya know? The bread was bland and sort of hard. It took a fair bit of sauce and ranch to make it have much of a taste at all because the bread really overpowered the taste of the meat and cheese. The quality of the meat on our breadsticks vs what was on mom's potato was night and day and they were almost the same meats. My fiancé's sandwich was okay but he said it wasn't anything special. We had been here quite a bit in the past for family parties, and I definitely recommend them for those. They have party rooms and great service for those parties. Food quality just seemed a bit less than what I'd had from here before.

It's a huge accomplishment for a man so young. He loves bbq and we picked this restaurant from the smell as we drove past it. Boy o boy did it smell good. The building is really and there was plenty of parking. The interior is nice, attractive and well kept. The ordering process was simple and straight forward. The price was extremely reasonable and much cheaper than I'm used to in Denver. The woman taking my order was about twenty and had such a think southern accent I could barely understand her. lol. The food came in within fifteen minutes and was brought directly to our table. The bulk of our meals were fantastic but here are my complaints. 1. The ribs were a bit too salty. 2. The bbq sauce choices were not especially good. 3. Our meal was delivered minus forks and the sour cream and ranch we ordered. By my third trip to the counter to get missing items, I was mildly annoyed. All in all we enjoyed our meal but wished the staff had better attention to detail.

I got a place of baked chicken, butterbeans, fried okra, cornbread, and a drink for $8. My fiancé got their BBQ pulled pork, fried okra, and mashed potatoes. All of our food was amazing, especially the BBQ that needed no sauce because it was so juicy and flavorful on its own. All of the food was delicious and the employees were all very kind and helpful! I would definitely come back through here for my next beach trip!

The ridiculously succulent, juicy, and mouth-watering brisket was over-the-top absurdly delicious. Sides sampled were the ethereal smoked baked beans (what magic created that incredible tang finish?), and the incredible garlic mashed potatoes, so tasty--how could mashed potatoes be that good my head is spinning. But wait! The coup de grace is the constellation of amazing sauces, each one better than the next. We tried a bunch including: Sweet Smoke, Bourbon, Tamy Bite, Mango Hab, Kicking Cajun, Carolina. An absolute epicurean delight was dunking meat from one sauce to the next. What an experience! Highly recommended, can't wait to go back for more.
