Great Carolina BBQ complete with hush puppies . The collard greens are like the ones Aunt Beatrice used to make. Eat and enjoy now and call your cardiologist in the morning!

Zoe

Get the ribs , you won't regret it. The beans are perfect and the hush puppies are the carbiest treat.

Eric Andersen

Awesome Carolina BBQ spot! Get a two-meat or three-meat combo — or check the Specials board!

Evan Nash

Best BBQ in Durham. Brisket is excellent! Always have to stop there when I'm in town !

Awesome Mac n cheese

Beef brisket is excellent sliced or chopped. Mac and cheese is the right mix of cheesy and crispy on top.

The smoked Buffalo chicken wings are an interesting diversion!

Brisket and pulled pork . Oh and the potato casserole is not listed but is delicious when they have it

Surprisingly, the pork butt didn't meet my expectation. I was happy though with the brisket and I thought they did a nice job with that. I've had better elsewhere but I've also had worse

Sara Pettine

Great food, inexpensive and not too far off the highway! Will be going back next time we drive though NC.
