Good brisket, pulled pork and sides!! The fried chicken and ribs were okay, but nothing to write home about. Not much of a dine-in spot (very basic and only a few tables and booths), but a good place to drop in and grab some good comfort food to-go.

I ordered the carnivore sandwich. It was quite likely the best bbq I have ever had anywhere! I live in the south and have been to MS, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, GA, all over the right half of the US and it was amazing. I didn’t get to try all the sauces but I had whatever they put on it when they grill plus I asked for some sweeter sauce to go and I got the honey. The sandwich was so big I could only eat half of it. And it came with fries. I balked at the price of it originally it was over $11 but not upset at all once I opened the package. Would highly recommend to any bbq lover’s!

Edit 2021: This is no longer owned by the original owner. We tried to give them the benefit of our doubt but then we tried the food. Food flavor is not the same at all. The pulled pork was dry, the sauce had no true flavor, the mac was dry and tasteless, and the mashed potato was bland. The service was neutral. I noticed they premade a lot of food in large batches and served it probably the following day. Not always is this the best way to go in a restaurant. We won’t be back again any time soon. Being the optimistic person that I am, I will try them once more in the future.

Great food, friendly staff, and awesome atmosphere. I think it used to be a train station or something similar in the past. Good prices, always different specials and new menu options to try. I LOVE their sauces! Today I ordered pork ribs and pulled chicken with mashed potatoes and mac n cheese, with their signature barbecue sauce. Delicious!

I had the 3 meat sampler, brisket, ribs and smoked sausage. Brisket was awsome with the mustard sauce, ribs were ok, not the fall off the bone fibs you would expect, and they leave the membrane on the back, which I don’t mind but I can see some kids or people getting grossed out about peeling it off before you eat the ribs. The sausage was very good, they give you a big basket of fries with your meal, the sides were good. I was asked if I wanted collard greens I did not realize that it was extra and they would charge me for it. They were out of burnt ends and I will definitely go back for that and try them.

I just love this place! Have been going for years. This time I got the pulled pork, it was tender and delicious. My sides were the baked beans, yummy and smokey. And the mac & cheese, just great! The corn muffin was just the right added touch. My friend got the smoked chicken and loved it! Big portions and very nice staff. Wil be going back again soon!

Great experience. Got a tray of pulled pork for a party and it was moist, tender, smokey, and delicious. The person I spoke to on the phone was kind and helpful and pick up was easy (though the tray was HOT!) Get the sauces on the side! Also had plenty of left overs, very pleased with the outcome! Will definitely be returning.
