They have a menu but the sides for that day were handwritten on the counter and some menu items weren't quite ready off the grill yet. The lady working was so great and made recommendations while helping us make a decision. She was definitely trying to upsell us but I think it's because she actually loves their food and knew it was our first visit. The portions were a lot but the price was reasonable. I loved all of my sides which included potato salad, Mac/cheese, and cornbread. We opted for the sauce on our ribs and chicken which made it messy but it was so worth it. Give these guys a shot! Don't judge them from the outside, it smelled delicious as soon as we parked and we knew we made the right decision.

It's "lean back in your chair, close your eyes, and rethink your life choices" good. The atmosphere reminded me of grandma's house, surrounded by family! Friendly folks, generous portions, and flavors that stick with you long after the last bite...no wonder TikTok blew this place up. Believe the hype. This spot is a must-stop. If you're anywhere within driving distance, make the trip. And if you're not, well...it's still worth it. This spot lives up to the hype.

You did not get a lot of sides though, small portion imo. They had a variety of items to choose from but we decided on the rib plate with Mac and cheese/beans and I will say the flavor of the ribs was really good. Although the ribs wasn't fall off the bone, the meat was still pretty tender. The beans and Mac and cheese were also good, but nothing to rave about. What I was disappointed in was the peach cobbler, it was so bad. Dry and gummy-and kind of expensive-I believe it was almost $4 for a small sauce sized container. I would give this place another try the next time I come around!

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while customers made their selections. You go up to the counter to order & pay and they bring your food out when it's ready.

We ordered the BBQ ribs & tips w/cabbage & dressing, BBQ ribs & tips w/green beans & yams, and the Chicken & dumplings w/green beans & baked beans. The meals all came with cornbread. The ribs had the perfect amount of smoke flavor & bbq sauce. They were also nice and tender. The sides were all flavorful and nicely seasoned, the cornbread was excellent.
