Very friendly service and good summer comfort food. First time had a bbq chicken dinner. I appreciated that the baked beans had a little kick to them. Second time ordered a pulled pork sandwich- came with banana peppers on top which I love and thought was a good pairing. Their ribbon fries were nice and crispy too. Lots of flavors to choose from for those.
The food is always a pleaser! Each time I have been there I try something different. My favorite is their bbq chicken, pulled pork a close second! Both Richie and Karen are extremely friendly, accommodating and want you to have a great experience. Their food is ALL homemade from salads to dressings to ribbon potatoes....delicious ❤
Three stars is because the staff were very nice. The pulled pork had cheese on it for some reason but it had a weird fishy after taste. (Didnt notice this on the online menu. Our mistake there.) The chicken dinner was overcooked. The ribs were okay. They did fall off of the bone nicely. Just didnt care for the taste. The ribbon fries are basically lays chips (at least thats what they seemed like to us). There was no garlic on it that we could taste and the parmesan cheese on them was different (again, not to our taste). The macaroni salad would have been better with less celery, but otherwise one of the better macaroni salads I have had (imho). We didnt care for the Buffalo Mac and Cheese. When you get salt potatoes you get 4 tiny potatoes. Not sure if thats the normal portion size. We will likely not be returning here. 🤷♀️

2021-09-11Order the baby back BBQ ribs! Ribs done right. The staff is great and the food is served fast, hot and delicious. What more could you want from a family-owned bbq spot?! Support small food businesses and eat here often. I don’t live in the area but I’ll be back!

2022-05-22The chicken was so tasty- very flavorful and not too salty... I was so thrilled that it wasnt overcooked and dry... it was even good reheated. The sides were all very good too... cant wait to go back and try the ribs.

2022-05-08Fantastic small walk-up stand...we had pulled pork bbq sandwiches. Sauce was really good and the rolls were great! We also got the parmesan garlic potato ribbons were excellent! Would definitely eat here again! Prices were about average & affordable.

2022-05-24While the cute little gal that took my order was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience worth it (absolutely adorable), I was not impressed with the food I got. I love BBQ and have been to many places in the south with real BBQ. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was just bbq sauce with what I assume was pork. Couldnt taste anything but bbq sauce. No smoke...no pork... it had banana peppers and cheese? Not sure what that was supposed to do to the sandwich but you couldnt taste either of them. The pork and the smoke should be the star of the show, let people dress it up how they want with a Carolina sauce or bbq...even some slaw.. I intend on going back to try the chicken and ribs and will update my review if its worth it. But if youre looking for BBq, this isnt the place from what incan tell.Edit. Gotta love passive aggressive owners trying to redeem their selves on Google reviews. I dont know one person who enjoys bbq that loves a bbq sauce sandwich. Even if the peppers and cheese added something to the flavor, you cant tell with all of the sauce thats in the pork. You literally only taste the sauce. Might as well sit there with a bowl of sweet baby rays and dip a kaiser roll in it. Ive had better pulled pork done in a crock pot.

2021-05-22Absolutely delightful! The staff are friendly and chill, the pulled pork was delicious and the ribs where the best the best Ive had in a couple years. Chicken was really well done and deeply seasoned into the meat. Outdoor seating is nice, too! But they do take away too. When the worst thing you can say about a place is the parking lot is to small youve got yourself a winner. Will definitely be coming back. :)

2021-08-13Ordered BBQ Pork and some salads. Everything was tasty. Pork was sweet and tangy. Salads were fresh. Especially appreciated purple cabbage for the slaw. The woman who took our order was very friendly and took time to explain the menu.
