Was pretty disappointed in my whole meal portions were smaller than what I thought they should be for what they said it would be priced at $20 my burnt ends were slathered in barbecue sauce some of the chunks were just solid fat. macaroni. I did not like same with the rice. Coleslaw is giving this two stars it was good.

Highly recommended! First time visiting and we absolutely loved it! Their potato salad, dirty rice and bacon Mac & cheese are *chefs kiss* AMAZING! My husband loved the brisket and smoked sausage, I had the ribs and they were very good. FYI: there’s no indoor seating, but service is pretty quick!

If you like smoked meats, this is your place. The prices are a little on the high side, but you are paying for quality meats combined with labor of love. The meats are smoked for hours on site. The food is excellent. The brisket was perfect! The sauces were good. Definitely try them out!

Brisket sandwich was great and full of meat Mac and cheese was amazing. wish the sides were just a tad bit bigger with the sandwich combo but overall great food and very friendly staff food was ready within 5 minutes and piping hot by the time we got back home. will definitely be returning soon.

Food was very good. We got the 3 meat plate to try brisket, pulled pork, and the sausage. Came with 2 sides. We got the slaw and dad’s baked beans. Meat was tasty and had good flavor. Beans were different tfrom anything I had before…interesting flavor.

Flavors were clean, textures were fresh – the tastiest quick BBQ I’ve tried on the Crystal Coast. Before one stamps the five star seal of approval, however, one must be fully satisfied and fairly treated. Simply put, the portion sizes, seemingly smaller than their photographic forefathers of reviews past, do not satisfy the average American. Especially down here. Many are above average.

Delicious BBQ! The brisket was one of the best I’ve ever had!! The potato salad and the dirty rice (not pictured) were also to die for. Very generous portions, and not overpriced for the amount of love and seasoning that goes into the food.

Great food at great prices. Smoked turkey and mac&cheese was some of the best I’ve ever had. Staff very friendly. While there is shade provided for outdoor seating there is no indoor seating.

Today was a rainy day and I stopped by for the first time after driving by it for so long, it was perfect timing. No line, I ordered online and I didn’t order right, they were very friendly and went out of their way to fix my order to get what I wanted.

Sorry, to say I was not satisfied. Mac n cheese should not taste smoked. The potato salad was sweet and a lot of mayo to the taste. The smoke chicken, brisket, and barbecue is overly smoked. Everything on plate tasted the same smoked. I wish y’all the best.
