BBQ platter add snow crabs and corn bread is more than enough for 4 adults! It was soooo good! Love the food, love the ambiance and love the live band :) will definitely be back.

The pulled pork , catfish and brisket are amazing! I haven't tried any other items yet but friends said the ribs were fantastic too. We had a very attentive waitress even on a busy Sunday evening.

If you get the brisket , make sure you ask for mix some fatty pieces. Mac and cheese and deep fried pickles are good to go!

It was such a shame. Two of the four bottles on our table had turned. Don't get me wrong, the food is great. But sauce is supposed enhance the food, not retract from it.

The only reason I come back it's because I live across the street. You need to wait forever at the door to be seated. Service extremely slow. My wife finished her beer before they brought mine.

No joke on the slow service. Don't worry about being hungry, you will be once your food shows up. The food has been really good so far. Hopefully dessert will be here within the hour.
