Our large order included two rib plates, yet after waiting for almost a hour, with numerous other customers coming in and out, someone from the back finally came out and announced that they had ran out of ribs and the wait for ribs would be a hour long... we had already been waiting for a hour tho ?? The miscommunication / lack of communication from the kitchen had some customers ready to get their money back, but my order of ribs finally came out after another 30 mins ... I ordered a rib and pork plate with Mac and cheese and potato salad as sides (7.5/10) I enjoyed the potato salad the most. The ribs looked big, but there really wasn't much meat on them compared to the size of the bone. Both the pork and ribs were dry and def needed the sauce that was included. The meats with the sauce did have good seasoning / flavor tho. I also tried their banana pudding (8/10). I'd stop back in here when in town again, but next time, eat in the actual restaurant when it's fresh and hot. My overall rate of experience : 7.8/10

They cover most of the BBQ classics -- pork, chicken, ribs, burgers, and all the traditional Southern sides -- though no brisket here. Honestly? You won't even miss it. We ordered the 1/2 lb of BBQ pork plate with fried okra and corn nuggets (the plate comes with two sides, which is perfect). The pork was everything great barbecue should be: moist, smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. You could taste the care in every bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor it. The fried okra was crispy and seasoned just right, and the corn nuggets were golden little bites of happiness -- slightly sweet, crunchy outside, soft inside. A perfect pairing with the pork. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They gladly offered suggestions for sides and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference. Parking is right out front -- probably around eight spots -- and they do fill up quickly, especially at lunch. The restaurant was busy with mostly locals, which is always a great sign. The location is tucked away in a residential area, so definitely look up directions beforehand. There's a small street sign, but it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. All in all, this spot has that genuine small-town BBQ charm with big-time flavor. If you're in Selma and craving real Southern barbecue, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

We came here based on Yelp reviews (there really isn't much in the area). Seeing the accolades and rave reviews gave us high expectations, which were quickly dashed. We went in to place our order and found the cashier impatient. As far as we could tell, the only menu is taped to the counter directly in front of the register, so you can't really decide what you want until you get up there. Among my family of 4, we got pulled chicken, burgers, and chicken tenders with various sides. The pulled chicken was good, but the white BBQ sauce was overly sweet and not good. The burgers and chicken tenders are all just cooked from frozen, so nothing special. The slaw was truly horrible-- mayonnaise-based with imitation bacon bits leaching their color into the dressing. The onion rings were actually good-- fried nice and crispy, but again, pre-frozen. All the while, you're sitting in a gas station with flies everywhere. In summary, the food was edible, but it was certainly nothing to write home about. It tasted like your typical fairground food at more reasonable prices.
