    Service was great very friendly and helpful since it was our first visit we were not sure what to order but staff helped us. I liked the barbecue turkey sandwich and my daughter got the chili cheese with fritos she really liked it. I order a baked potato but I feel that there was something missing in the taste. My husband got meet with chili and cheese and he really liked it. Will be back for sure!

    Hot link, pulled pork, brisket, macaroni and cheese, beans, toast
    Mitchell K.

    Billy Sims is bomb. I got brisket, pulled pork, a hot link, mac and cheese, and beans and it all tasted great. The included sauce was really good too. The online ordering was easy to use and the food was ready when I arrived. The service was polite and the store appeared clean.

    Sliced brisket with side salad
    Donna H.

    Small place, clean with usually nice staff. Slicked brisket is good and tender. I like their original sauce now, I think they must have improved it. They have option to add meat to sandwiches for an up charge. I chose to sub a salad for my side, it was not worth an additional charge. It was okay, but small. Good place for BBQ.

    Chicken/Turkey combo with Potato Salad and Green Beans
    Jenny W.

    Oh wow...I'm so glad my Grandma recommended this place. I'm usually a Rib Crib or Albert G's kinda girl, but I'm not fussy when it comes to good BBQ, and if you know me, you know I will eat anything and at the very least, only semi enjoy it. I just learned today, from a friend in SF, that Billy Sims was a football player for the University of Oklahoma and he even won a Heisman trophy! Woo hoo, so now I like it even more. We both chose the you pick two combo. I had the chicken and turkey, with green beans (yeah, with BACON) and potato salad. My grandma had the ribs and chopped brisket. OMG! I'm glad she was willing to share with me. Don't get me wrong, I like brisket and ribs, but just prefer chicken/turkey over that. Her ribs were to die for, and that potato salad was delicious and at the perrrrfect consistency for potato salad.

    We got the three meat platter ,brisket ,pulled pork and polish  sausage with baked beans and potato salad

    The food was excellent we ordered a three meat platter the service was courteous and the restaurant was clean

    Black people BEWARE! I went to this location to pick up an order that my daughter had placed (and paid for) for me (over an hour before I arrived), because she was excited to treat me to a birthday dinner. When I went inside, I was asked if I was Grubhub or DoorDash (I'm not...surprise surprise), coincidentally no other customers were asked that in the time (over an hour) that I waited to get my food...again...over an hour! Also, coincidentally *wink *wink, None of the other customers were Black. Anyway, in the 60 min + that I waited for my order (don't forget that my 3 meat combo, plus one extra meat was paid for over an hour before I even arrived, in case I forgot to mention that), none of the white customers that came in were asked if they were there for Grubhub or DoorDash. Additionally, I watched as all the white customers were told that they had run out of meat that those customers had requested...Even going so far as to take the phone from one customer and offering varying solutions to the person on the other end of the line. I sat patiently as these other customers came and went...It's busy, so why complain?!? But then when it was FINALLY my turn to get my order, I realized I didn't have all the meats my college aged daughter (who is working 2 jobs to pay for school, but insisted on treating me to a birthday dinner, had paid for), I asked (politely, because I made sure to let them know that "I know my place" just like that worker handling my food acted like he expected)...I was told, "I can't give you what I don't have"...No apologies. No explanation. No substitutions. Just a, 'take what you get and shut up' attitude from the worker. That was bad enough, but when my wife decided to leave a Yelp review, the owner of the restaurant decided to make excuses for their bad behavior and comment with the business equivalent of "I have a black friend so I can't be racist" and even went so far as to blame HER for creating division because of our "perception". They acknowledged that they might possibly hire racists, but then basically said that they aren't to blame. They mentioned the video footage of my time in the restaurant, and said they didn't see anything racist or rude. Not even bothering to apologize for the absolutely horrible customer service that was given (even if they thought it wasn't racist). After my wife called them out in her Google review, they updated their Yelp review to say that the single (ignorant and rude) employee that said "I can't give you what I don't have" wasn't racist, and even stated that that he wasn't rude. This location obviously thinks that Blacks are not entitled to decent treatment. This location seemingly feels that Black people should feel privileged just to walk through their door. This location is seemingly ok with hiring racists and will blame the victim and tell US not to create division. This location seems to have a problem from owner to cashier, and it's obvious. I would recommend that Black people spend their money ANYWHERE but here! Shoot...throw it out the window, if you want your money to be more appreciated than it is at this restaurant. If you complain, your review will be met with, "We have a black founder" so we can't be racist, but we all know what that means...And an accusation that WE are causing division (which we all know us code for, "shut up and appreciate that we even let you in). This thought process is what keeps racism alive. This is something we've always had to deal with, but now we don't have to let them use a black face to get our money while they also hide behind it. The days of minstrel song and dance are over. Spend your money at a business that is happy to see you! I have posted my wife's Yelp reviews (that were removed) and both of the owner's responses...The pre AND post Google responses. Plus the Yelp removal.

Service was spot on throughout the entire night. We started with the deviled eggs, half plain and half Chef's Choice. The Chef's Choice were the best, drizzled with chili crisp (or pickled Szechuan peppercorns) and topped with a tiny gherkin and fresh dill. The soup of the day was a cabbage and radish soup. It was interesting and very homey but I wish I had ordered the salad. I had the Novarro Farm sweet Potato Gnocchi (kale and pecan pesto, Birch Bottom Farm Georgia candy roaster, fresh chevre). I was a little hesitant about the kale pesto but should NOT have been. This dish was delicious--great garlic flavor. Would order again. The burger looked amazing and while The Hubs said it was good, he also said it needed some more spice. They had a couple of rotating beers from Heirloom--a Mexican Lager and an Italian Pilsner. I had the Water Lily cocktail, their take on an Aviation. Order it just because it's beautiful (and refreshing). The photo does not depict the deep color of it. I asked what other gin based cocktails they had on their menu. They didn't but the server/bartender offered to make me a Bee's Knees for the second round. It was delicious! The atmosphere here is casual but the food is elevated. I kept thinking this is what a French bistro would be like inside. I want to come back and shop the market. Oh, and the apple pie was excellent as well!

The lamb came unexpected in almost a meatloaf shaped slide and it was tender flavorful. Quite good! The Brussels sprouts were nicely done and tasty. As for burger, I was indifferent on. I had a friend who said it was his favorite, but I thought it was fine. They need to change the buns. The fries were awesome. Looking forward to coming back again!

It was semi warm and it just wasn't what I was expecting. But my father-in-laws wife had it and loved it. So I chose this restaurant because they had fried chicken in the menu. Well, I'm never gonna turn down fried chicken so I ordered it. I included pictures for reference. At first glance I thought they had over cooked it because of its dark color. But as I started eating I realized that they had used a ton of paprika in the batter to give it that dark red amber color. The chicken was good and not overcooked. However, they used a batter for the crust. Much like a Japanese tempura but less garlic. The crust was a hard crunchy shell. The flavor was ok but I just don't care for battered chicken. I also felt like it was cooked too hot. The crust was borderline over cooked but the inside was done. That's just my opinion. They served the chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. Both just warm and as my meal progressed the gravy was straight up cold. But I was finished so I powered through. To be fair, the fried chicken was the least expensive entree on the menu. But I'm kind of a fried chicken snob so I'm gonna give it a 6 out of 10. I prob would not order it again, but there were some other things on the menu I am excited to try on our next visit.

Unfortunately, the quality of the service has declined significantly. During our most recent visit, our server rarely checked on us, and we waited over 30 minutes for a salad. We eventually had to ask the hostess if she could check on it for us. When our server finally brought the salad, she told us, "I thought you wanted your appetizer first, and I have another table, so someone else is going to take care of you." The interaction felt unnecessarily dismissive, particularly after we had already been waiting so long with very little attention or communication. To make matters worse, after the long wait and confusion, we were ultimately brought the wrong order. The second server who took over our table was much kinder and more attentive, which we appreciated, but by that point the overall experience had already been disappointing.

The menu was unexpected yet alluring with comfort and complex rolled into one. Dishes typical like a burger and fries were beautifully elevated in Stone Horses' own way.

A word of caution, it is extremely filling and with just the two of us I had to muster my self control to stop eating it. Our service was so helpful, informative and made conversation but not overly so. It was such a beautiful space with a delightful patio space and a market in the back with so much more than I imagined. Don't miss on opportunity to try Stone Horse nor the market.

I guess you need to get there earlier than an hour before they closed. We finished with a couple desserts. The banana pudding was probably the best I've had. Their seasonal cobbler was blueberry and very tasty! I was hoping for peach. Maybe next time. Yes there will definitely be a next time. It was a lot of food so we had plenty left over that ate for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is super friendly and really clean. Like most barbecue places I've been to there is no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Then depending on how busy they are they will bring your food to your table or have you pick up at the counter. For me the cherry on top is their pay it forward meal. For $15 you can buy a meal for someone in need. They hand you a receipt that you pin to a board. Then when someone needs a meal they can go in and grab one off the board. They offer them their lunch special. While I was there I saw a very grateful individual come in and get a meal. The staff were super nice and treated them just like any other customer. Great food! Great service! Great value! Do yourself a favor and try this place!

Located downtown, parking appears to be mostly street parking--I didn't notice a dedicated lot nearby. Inside, the restaurant is long and narrow with bar seating, hanging plants, and an open wood-fire grill that immediately sets the vibe. We sat in the back room, which is darker and not quite as charming as the main dining area. It was also verrrry warm. When we mentioned it, our waiter's sarcastic comment about it being hot outside caught us a little off guard, but thankfully it did seem to cool down afterward. Now THE FOOD. The fire-roasted carrots with whipped tahini were unreal. Tender without being mushy, smoky, and absolutely packed with flavor. I ate most of the plate and regret nothing. The empanadas were buttery, soft and flaky with a chimichurri sauce I would've happily put on everything. My Campfire Atlantic Salmon was the star--perfectly cooked with this incredible smoky, citrusy flavor that carried through the whole plate. Even the kale had me excited, which feels like an accomplishment. The artichoke au gratin was creamy, loaded with artichokes, and had a great crunchy texture on top. Portions are generous enough that my dinner became lunch the next day. Our table also tried the filet, pasta, and another salmon. Everyone was happy. I sampled the crab-and-corn pasta--it was good, just not personally my thing. The filet was tender with a glaze my friend loved, although I'd probably order mine without it. We finished with the strawberry rhubarb cobbler + vanilla ice cream--tangy, sweet, warm, cold, crunchy, creamy...basically I didn't want to share.
