This place looks like a hole in the wall , but it has the best BBQ around! Don't let the looks fool you, give it a chance and you won't be sorry!

Whatever negative effects on the body are outweighed by the positive effects on the soul. I got the pork bbq with sweet potato and Mac and cheese .

Andrew Rohm

All the food was delicious, as were the sauces for bbq pork and sweet tea . But everyone in my group was blown away by the hush puppies . They're amazing!

Nothing fancy , but that was the best part. If you are new to the South (like I am), tell them! They helped and hooked it up. You can taste the love here!

My favourite pulled pork plate in the state . Takes to vinegar and molasses sauces equally well .

Damian Bayona

Home style BBQ served in styrofoam boxes. Nothing detracts from the deliciousness of the food. The brisket , macaroni and sweet potatoes cannot be missed.

Brandon Haverland

The ribs , chicken , and collard greens were delicious (though the hush puppies were not good)

Ribs : soooo good. Moist, chewy, tender, delicious. With two sides and a beer : $12. The place is a super dive and super worth the drive.
