★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jessica Frederick · Oct 2020

Looks are so deceiving! For a place so far off the beaten path, I was really expecting something special. Their pork bbq was especially NASTY I kept trying nibbles but after the 3rd attempt I concluded that it must be bad meat. Hubs tried his and agreed so we left it alone! The brisket was decent but very salty. All of the sides are store bought so that's a nope from me. 😑 I forgot to add the owners were incredibly rude while I was paying my bill.

Good, tasty Lexington-style barbecue. Even my picky eaters ate their food and loved it, so they must be doing something right.

★★★★★ 5.0 Laura-Estelle Pilkington · Nov 2018

Fantastic brisket and ridiculous amount of ribs! The meat melted in my mouth. Delicious food, wonderful service with unbeatable prices. Perfect for families looking for a great deal!

We used to really like this restaurant, but it has gone downhill. Service was great, but you cannot leave a tip on your credit card, so be sure and take cash for tipping, if you go. We ordered chopped barbecue and the flounder fillet, and the flounder fillet was just mush. The chopped barbecue had a lot of gristle and bone in it. We just were not at all impressed. The place has been around for 40 some years, it might be time for an upgrade.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Laura McCoy · Dec 2017

It was decent but my chicken was super dry and the potatoes tasted like they came straight out of a box (and I like boxed potatoes, but not these ones.) My pie was top notch and the waitress was sweet. My dining partner had some delicious bbq and I enjoyed the hush puppies. The location is really cool and the atmosphere is great. I hear it just changed ownership so I will give it another go. Tip: take cash, you can't tip on your card.
