Looking for some BBQ and found myself here. Small little setup and the menu got your typical BBQ items. Got the rib tips and half chicken and the price wasn't bad thou. Started with tips, and I mean they were ok you get a decent size portion too 7.8. The chicken again ok nothing crazy that stands out 7.9. The BBQ sauce reminds me of open pit BBQ sauce in flavor and is not very thick and running. Got one side was the mac n cheese and this was really good wish i got it in a bigger cup 8.4. Overall if in a crunch you'll get your bang for your buck in terms of portion size but for higher quality BBQ might look at other spots on my next visit here. 8.0

We were unable to find it at the address listed, but called and got the right address - 1301 S. Martin Luther King Jr Drive. Friendly staff and quick service! Great BBQ! The ribs were tender with a tomatoey, mild bbq sauce. The beans were in the same sauce with a hint of cinnamon. The BBQ beef sandwich was delicious! Excellent Mac and really enjoyed the peach cobbler!!

Ribs were hard and tasted of kerosene(?). Not much meat on them. Bbq sauce was very heavy on the ketchupy side. Mac n cheese was bland. Greens tasted like they came from a can. Portions on sides were smaller side. Service was good. Not friendly but not rude

Go there all the time and everytime I've been there i tip the worker/owner because its a small business .Went in today on 9 23 25 and waited patiently in line to be serve and literally got skipped over and realized my business wasn't a priority and definitely not appreciated so I decided to take my hard earned money somewhere else..Food is great when owner is there othere wise i avoid going but service always have sucked but despite I've always supported . The owner skipped me today and I then realized that was enough to not return..Sound petty but its more principal at play!

Don't waste your time. Small sandwiches, small Mac & cheese and even smaller baked beans. Maybe 3 bites with them and at most 5 bites for the sandwich. Paid almost $30 for $15 worth of food.
