Wow!! The food was out of this world GREAT!! The brisket is a favorite of many and it was super tender & melt in your mouth good. Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The staff is super nice with great hospitality too. We ended up also having the spice cake, which was also absolutely divine .

This place is awesome! Small little business that knows how to smoke stuff. Brisket was full of flavor, moist and tender. Beans and chili were just as delicious. Prices are really reasonable. Staff was very friendly. A must stop when in the area! You will not regret it.

This place is the greatest around. Awesome little hole in the wall spot. 10/10 recommended. You guys have gained a lifetime customer. The pulled pork was hands down the greatest. The hot bbq sauce really topped it off. Its places like this that keep people happy. Thank you for what you guys do.

Great brisket and potato salad but the slaw and green beans weren’t great and the ribs were more like rib jerky and the tenderloin was super dry. Definitely won’t make the drive out there again. Very disappointing as this place was highly recommended by friends. I now have to rethink those friendships.

What an incredible experience, and what a great service, we couldn’t believe that there would be an all you can eat BBQ! The brisket was incredible, the meat choices were so good, the staff couldn’t be any nicer and welcoming! Most definitely coming back next time I’m in town, highly recommend! And don’t forget to take pictures of the place, the walls have all kinds of great decorations!!

A great mom&pop BBQ joint. Prompt, clean & delicious! Homemade sides were amazing as well as the BBQ pulled chicken brisket & ribs. Drive a half a mile past fake food chain restaurant for real home cooking.

The brisket was moist and tender and delicious, and the chopped (pulled) pork was good. The longhorn stew, an unusual side in this part of the country, was very good. The sauce was complex and well-made. The staff was friendly and professional, considering I came in around closing time, and I tipped them. I would definitely venture back. Overall, a solid deal for the money. My only small suggestion would be to install a sneeze guard at the counter area if you’re going to slice brisket near where customers order.

Great tasting brisket, ribs were good but a little over done, just a little. Sides were: slaw, green beans, baked beans, and potato salad. All were good Definitely recommend

Pulled in here for some dinner and just knew everything was gonna be alright when I smelled the parking lot. Sweet smoke smells rolled out of the place as I was walking up. Friendly folks and yes, I let them pick my dinner. It was the right thing to do. The young man sliced up some brisket for me while the young lady got the sides and handled the register. Brisket was tender with great flavor and a good mix of lean and fat. Nice ambiance fitting for a BBQ joint and a big screen TV to boot. Thanks for a great dinner!

Best pulled pork and brisket we’ve had in a long time! Friendly, fast service and high quality food. Just wished I lived closer so I could enjoy this on a regular basis!
