We ordered Grams for a special 50th birthday party. The food was fresh, delicious and full of flavor. Guests from out of state couldn't get enough. We ended up ordering it for dinner the next day because it was just that good. I will definitely use them for catering in the future.

One of the better southern food places I found while here. The catfish had potential but due to one ingredient they use to season the fish gave the fish a slight burnt taste. If it wasn’t for that it would great. Now the shrimp, beans, veggies, sweet potato pie and yams were excellent! The beef ribs and brisket were okay but the highlight was definitely the seafood and sides if you ask me (everything was hot and fresh!). Would definitely come back for those items, I spent a total of $90 for everything with the tip of like $10 included.

This spot was recommended to us by a local, so of course we had to try it. Back home we’re blessed with good bbq, so I was curious how this place would hold up. BBQ isn’t something I crave often, but when I do, it’s nice to find a good one. The space is casual and small, right in the middle of downtown. We came during lunch and it was fairly empty. You order at the counter, and we went with the rib meal, which comes with a side. I asked for their most popular side and was given the mac and cheese — it came out sizzling and extra cheesy. The beef ribs were big but a bit lacking in meat. The sauces are served on the side, and while the flavor was good and smoky, the meat itself was a little tough to bite or pull off the bone. If you’re into BBQ, I’d say give it a try, but it definitely wa

The barbecue was a bit on the dry side- we had ribs and the brisket. The ribs were much better than the brisket flavor and more moist. The really star of the show was actually the fried green tomatoes- those were perfect and tangy and everything you wanted in a bbq side… the prices were a bit high for what you got- the pictured brisket plate, with Okra and those pickled carrots and cucumber was $20.00. Would visit again and get pork and friend green tomatoes!

Ribs are juicy and smoked to perfection, can get a lil more crispy on the hot link, the mac and cheese is to kill for. Service was awesome.
