This was the best BBQ I've ever had in my 33 years of life! I got the brisket sandwich with Cole slaw and Mac and cheese as my sides. They lay that brisket on thick to a huge delicious bun and it falls apart in your mouth. You can't even pick it up with a fork, it's so tender! They have a variety of sauces that are all perfect for the food. I'd buy it if that bottled it! Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely stop back in. For those wondering, it's a small restaurant, but there are nice sit down tables too. Thank you guys for the awesome meal! Happy holidays ❤️

First off, this is not a fine dining establishment and anyone expecting that sort of experience will be sorely disappointed. What you do get is friendly service (as fast as they can provide it), a fun atmosphere, and excellent barbecue. My wife and I came on a Friday night and they were assembling a large catering order on three of the 6 or so tables inside. We were the only dine in guests but there was a steady stream of to-go orders being served up the entire time we were there. We got the sampler and a pound of sliced brisket and it was all great. The habanero sauce isn't particularly spicy but has great flavor and enough zing to keep things interesting. Overall nice people, fun little dining area, and food that was definitely worth the wait.

It was incredible. I got the smoked ribs with mac and cheese and baked beans. The meat was so tender and packed with flavor. The mac and cheese and beans complemented it perfectly. I am usually a yapper, but after my first bite, I was speechless—that’s how you know the food is amazing. My only regret is not getting the banana pudding; it looked so good. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to try it. Overall, a 10/10 experience—they really ate and left zero crumbs. I literally ate and left zero crumbs. Love yall so much!
