Dog-friendly. The server brought out a dog bowl full of water, made Bella feel like she was included the whole time. Affordable too! Two lunch entrees, two drinks, one add-on salad and a dessert : $30.

If you want a taste of some good meat options. Try the double or triple platter that comes with two sides. It will fill you up and gives you several options. Definitely try all 5 homemade sauces too.

Willie Beav

The pulled BBQ and brisket was so delicious. The service was extremely efficient and courteous. The total cost of the meal was inexpensive and affordable ! Highly recommend!!

The meat was tender and flavorful and our appetizer of fried green tomatoes were good but all the sauces were spicy , the Mac n cheese was bland and the fried okra was nothing special.

Cathy S.

Great food & atmosphere. Fun place to go if you have out of town guests. Portions are huge and menu items are pleasantly affordable . Highly recommended!

Blasting this place. If you offer $3 Bloody Marys make sure you don't run out of the ingredients. Also be sure to let me order another drink for $3 and not $7.50
