Very cool place for BBQ. The flavor of the ribs was delicious. The pork was a bit dry. The brisket was really good. The corn bread was very tasty. The Mac n cheese was also good. If you order the tray for two or three, get ready to eat. they come loaded with lots of food.

4th Qrtr 2025 Actually, a near 5-⭐ except that on our visit, they only had 2 drink options, tea (sweet ) or water. Was definitely a letdown. Came late afternoon but before the early dining rush so no wait. We ordered: Sampler Platter (app) Catfish (app) 2-Meat BBQ (Ribs and Sausage) 2-Meat BBQ (Burnt Ends and Brisket) Bread Pudding All 👍. Service was 👍, our server, on the ball with everything we needed. Definitely a good place for good food.

I asked for moist brisket and this is what I got. The driest piece of meat they had. Mashed potatoes were good but they were definitely scooped with a spoon that was used for green beans. My potatoes should not taslike green beans. I normally don’t like jalapeño cheese sausages but these were really good
