TLDR: This barbecue place was underwhelming, with some meats better than others. The service was…read morerelatively quick, and the outdoor seating was clean. There is likely better barbecue in the area. Each meat varied heavily in quality, so they will be rated individually below. I ordered the Pitmaster's Platter, which included multiple samples of the meats. Meats Beef Brisket (2/5): For some reason, this brisket was extremely dry. There was no moisture between the meat fibers. When doing the brisket bend test over a finger, the brisket barely even moved. The bark had the texture of jerky. I would not recommend this meat option. Pulled Pork (3/5): The pulled pork was moist in some places and dry in others. This meat was extremely average. There were some parts of the pulled pork with a heavy smoke flavor, which I did appreciate. Pulled Chicken (2/5): This was just as dry as the brisket. There were small portions that did have some moisture, but I could not finish the dry portions. Cheddar Jalapeno Sausage (4/5): This meat was the best among the options. Incredibly juicy, heavy on the seasoning, and the cheese was oozing out of the sausage. If I were to come back, I would order this again. Ribs (2/5): Again, just as dry as the other meats. There was no pull, and the meat was tough on the outside. Sides Mac & Cheese (3/5): This macaroni and cheese was nothing special, despite other reviews raving about it. It is a standard mac and cheese with slightly soggy breadcrumbs on top. Coleslaw (5/5): Somehow, this was the best part of the meal. The coleslaw tasted extremely fresh. There was just enough sauce to coat the vegetables without taking away from their quality and crunch. The coleslaw being the best part of the meal says a lot about this establishment. I do not think I will be coming back here again.

This place is an old Big Boy or at least looks like it. Randomly wanted bbq without having to…read moredrive 30 plus minutes to get it so checked this place out in person. Place just feels like it needs a good scrub; that's how it left me feeling. You also will need to change your clothes after cause you can't escape the smoke. Not sure how anyone volunteers to sit on what looks like a nice patio while the meat smoker is sitting right next to it. Even inside feels a bit grimey and smoky but if you like that smell you'd be in heaven. Hostess was nice but the waitress seemed a bit on edge/ feminist/ snotty. Not too friendly and made some comments that made me wanna let her know she can eff off at any time. Commentary about who's paying between a husband and wife or claiming you get two beers out of one line (that's a new one for me... I wouldn't want two different types of beer coming out of the same "line") and that the fact I didn't like the flat, "soft" ipa I sampled, as it tasted old or just not very good, trying to just prove me wrong... seemed like she had it out for me as man. Also wouldn't allow my kid to have chicken and fries instead of ribs from the kids menu so had to order a full 1/2 smoked chicken instead. Don't care for her attitude at all. Food was eh. Couple of bright spots- beans were smoky and sweet, good mix. The chicken, both wing and 1/2 were overly smoked and the skin became hard in a lot of parts. Had to scrape the chicken off the skin to eat it. Mac and cheese was good too. Cajun slaw was just vinegary without much of a Cajun punch. Queso brisket dip was on the sweet side. Didn't really get much brisket that I could find or taste in the dip. We couldn't finish all our food; just got sick of the flavor/ taste. Interesting sauce with the rock n rye Faygo bbq sauce. Could definitely taste the pop influence. Their XXX spicy sauce was okay; wouldn't say it's ghost pepper or unbearable. It's got some after spice which I liked. Really like the attempt they are making with the place and I hope they get their meats from the neighboring butcher as I've heard good things about the market place meats in the same strip. Oh they also charge you a 3.5% admin fee with every card purchase... p

The inside cozy, quaint and very clean. The service was ultra friendly. Although we had never visited them before, Kyle's southern charm had us feeling like we were old cousins coming to visit. Now the food ... O..... M......G!!!!!! Pimp had Pork Chops, Shrimp, Okra, and Red Beans and rice. He says the red beans and rice put Popeyes to shame. I had the chicken livers with greens, and yams. The greens were a bit spicy, but them yams be yammin'!!! LOL 5 stars on everything. (They even make cornbread like my grandma did: like pancakes in a skillet). The price was really reasonable.
