Most Disliked
Some patrons mention that the wait times during peak hours can stretch a bit, but this usually means the food is fresh and hot. A few have found the music slightly loud at times, which may impact conversation, especially in a family setting. Another point of contention has been the occasional lack of variety in the menu, as some diners hope for more adventurous options. However, the classics like pulled pork and BBQ sandwiches remain crowd favorites, balancing out any disappointment in menu diversity. Despite these minor complaints, the overall experience is typically positive and satisfying.

Ordered a plate of rib tips with baked beans. The portion was generous for the price, and the meat was good, with and without sauce. Drowned my meat in sauces and soaked up the leftover with the provided bread. Guy working also gave me a free dessert which was banana pudding, and was really good. Had to have been pretty fresh too because the cookie wafers were super crunchy still. All in all, would recommend for sure.

We were happy we made the call to stop here. We aren’t local to the area but prefer to find local establishments over the standard chain restaurants you can find anywhere. The amount of food is more than fair for the price you pay…. And man oh man was it good! The dining area is clean and well kept, and I loved the metal pig bowl that holds the sauces. The music is loud enough to enjoy while you’re eating but not so loud that you can’t hear the person talking to you at your table. If I’m ever in the area again I will happily be stopping in again!

My BBQ sandwich was very tasty. I ordered the "spicy" version, and it was just that. The sides were good, too. I got the potato salad and the mac and cheese. True comfort food. The cherry lemonade was worth it, both tart and sweet and icy.

Me and my boyfriend went here together. The service and food was great. Very good priced and tasty. I got the pulled pork barbecue nachos and my boyfriend got the ribs. He said the ribs were the best he has ever ate. Highly recommend. They do have places to sit inside as well. After we got our food the lady held the door open for us 🖤 amazing service and food.
