I love, love, love their BBQ! I am currently obssessed with their sliced brisket sandwich. Their wings are also delicious and cooked to perfection (not dry or overcooked). This location is about a 45 min drive for me, and it’s worth it! Friendly environment. Totally recommend!

Service was good, but keep in mind I’m in NC and we take our BBQ seriously. I got just a BBQ sandwich and a Pepsi. It wasn’t bad, but it is Electrically cooked. The portion was large and they had BBQ sauce available.

OK…let me start with the only reason Im giving this place 2 stars is because the customer service was excellent. The young ladies taking our order were very friendly and made sure we were good once we got our food. I got the chicken nachos and it was alright, the queso cheese was the best part of this meal. The wings are good only if you take them home and finish cooking them. The wings were tough, not easy to pull off the bone, and lacked favor. However, the onion rings and fries were fresh and tasty. I was disappointment with our food because the reviews for this place were great.

I had ribs and 1/4 chicken. Meat was very tender with nice smoked flavor. Fried okra were slightly seasoned and crispy (yummy). Mac and Cheese was standard issue and probably wouldn’t get a second time. My spouse had wings, and he said they were ok… Needed more crispiness instead of soft skin on outside.

Everything I ordered was delicious. They gave a hefty portion of brisket and it was on point. I added a little extra sauce because I like mine dripping with sauce. It was great. The BBQ baked beans was good with the meat in it. There are about the only place I know of that puts some kind of seasoning on their fried okra…yummy. Definitely will be going back.

I ordered TMR for catering for a small party I was having. Nick was so helpful in taking my order and helping me choose the best options for my event. On pickup, he loaded it into my car himself, although I didn’t even request that service. My guests couldn’t say enough good things about the food! Awesome customer service, awesome food, and happy to support a local small business.
