When you enter the door, the smoke flavor hits you. Choices are many. Everything we had was fantastic; burnt ends, brisket, ribeye, bacon chunks, collard greens, smoked mac and cheese. Also had a pickle menu with all kinds of different flavors. About a dozen different sauces to sample and choose from. Anxious to try there Prime Rib on Friday nites.

The ribs are not good at all. Most of my issue is the service is completely unpredictable sometimes it is good but sometimes it is completely awful. Better training on customer service for the employees would go a long way toward a better establishment.

We stopped by here today as we're visiting Hedgesville for the Labor Day weekend. Being from Texas,…read morewe can be a bit snobby about our BBQ, sides, and sauces. All I can say is WOW. From the friendliness of the family owners to the food, we were amazed. We ordered brisket, ribs, beans, and macaroni. The rib meat was falling off the bone. The brisket was so flavorful it didn't need sauce. On the East Coast, we have found that pit masters make their beans sweet like a dessert (which is not pleasant) - I found these beans to be much more savory, and so much better. Would drive back to Hedgesville again for this BBQ alone!

But first I like to eat a rib without any sauce just to see how good it is. I put my sauce back in the fridge. Yep, I ate the whole rack with no sauce... didn't need any. The flavors were on point!!!!! They were so damn good I got emotional.

Iw Ould also like to see more seasoning but overall I was satisfied both times as were the people I brought with me.

I'm a HUGE lover of soul food/fried . Overall, a really great experience, the food was great but the family feel and nice staff stood out to me. It's definitely one of those places you can visit and they will get to know you I got the 4 piece wing that came with two sides. The chicken was super light and airy, but had tons of flavor. I hate when fried chicken is bland, and this definitely was not. The chicken and breading both had a really great taste the greens were perfect. She uses turkey meat to enhance the flavor, and I couldn't stop eating them. the Mac and cheese almost took me out. I love love love baked Mac and cheese, and this one was perfect. Almost a sponge like texture but still creamy and cheesy! Def tops my list of Mac and cheeses I've had. finished it off with some cornbread. Dry cornbread is the worst, or when it's too flaky. This was the perfect medium between moist, but also held its shape. Everything is made from scratch, so depending on when you arrive it could take a little to get your food. I personally didn't mind since I got the taste the chicken right out of the fryer I'll def be coming back as they serve breakfast all day, and the chicken and waffles are calling my name if you're looking for soul food or a diner experience, def add this one to the top of your list.

I was sad to hear they only serve chicken and waffles at breakfast. WHYYY??!!! Please add this to lunch and dinner. Our waitress was on point. Super friendly and refilled the sweet tea before it got halfway. I ordered the famous fried chicken and was pretty happy with the food. The baked potato was fine, it was just on the smaller size (4inches long it was literally the length of my size 6 lady finger). Mac and cheese was good, It did have some black spots but I chalk it up to coming in a 730pm. The roll was bland would not recommend. My fiance ordered the BBQ sandwich and onion rings. He is particular and was also very happy with his food. The other thing I would say is consider changing the hours. Closing at 8pm is insane, at least 4 tables arrived at 745pm! I say this because I know the competition is Martinsburg Family and that is open 24/7 I would reconsider the hours. I'm certain since the food was good you could justify a 10pm closure time but I'm just giving an opinion. I'd still go back.
