This place is always busy, mostly with take-out orders and when they are out of food, they simply close. It's best to order ahead, especially if you want something on a a Sunday!

Full disclosure. This is not some fancy bbq place. This is a humble building with a sweet couple…read morethat run it. Just so you know what to expect. We stopped by on a whim based on a Facebook post. It's a very small older dusty building with limited seating and no restroom. They do not take cards. You have to pay cash or Zelle. They will sell out and close without notice. But we lucked out. We didn't know that most people call ahead and preferably a day or two ahead. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for our food. We were glad they hadn't already sold out. But it was quite the foodventure. Based on the aforementioned Facebook post, I ordered the Mr Big loaded baked potato. It has ham and brisket, cheese, sour cream, and bbq sauce. It came in an open faced to go container because there was no way it was closing. I had to dig down through several inches of meat just to reach the actual potato. I had to give some to my husband just to be able to close it to take home. Then I had to ask for a piece of tape. Well worth the price. My husband got the strawberry lemonade. Too sweet for me. He liked it. But it is served in a large mason jar which you get to keep. It had real strawberries in it. She even came and refilled it when it was about half gone. He got the mix plate. You can choose one or two or three meats. He got brisket and hot links. Large portions of meat. You don't get to choose the sides. You get potato salad and baked beans. He was very pleased with the amount of food. If you come expecting too much as far as atmosphere you might be disappointed. But if you want great food and a lot of it then call them up and bring your cash.

The customer service was great, friendly, and fast. I also really liked the restaurant layout, with both indoor and outdoor seating that makes it a comfortable spot to hang out. The music added a fun vibe, and the sweet tea was on point. Definitely a place I will be coming back to.

Their meat was tender and juicy, the sausages are made in house, and they make them gluten free so that was a pleasant surprise. The outdoor area is very nicely laid out, it has a stage for bands that come and play. I will say the pricing is a little insane. $6 for a singular sausage link is pretty pricy. We ended up spending $65 in total after tipping the staff. I would come back if I was in the area and needed a meal that I knew was safe for my allergy. The barbecue sauce was also gluten free!

So, I haven't eaten in the restaurant but it looks like a small local bbq spot. Picnic tables and…read moresuch. Walking in the smell hits you. Beautiful bbq! I have a favorite from here and it's the frito pie! Omg, brisket, beans, onions, jalapeños, cheese and of course, Fritos. They give you a serving of bbq sauce. We add some pickles to it. It is amazing. And the portion is huge, it feeds two of us. Don't sleep on this place. They sell out fast but the pit master knows what he's doing!

Today was our first visit. We ordered a couple of brisket sandwiches for pick up. One chopped and…read moreone sliced. They were absolutely delicious and we can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, not too dry or fatty. It didn't even need sauce, but the sauce is also great! Tangy and not too sweet. Buns were toasted with the right amount of butter, not greasy or soggy. So far this is our favorite barbecue that we've tried since moving to Tyler and it was only a 15 minute drive to get there from our house. I didn't have much interaction with staff but they were friendly and welcoming when they gave me our bag, which included everything we had asked for in the special notes of the delivery app. We will definitely recommend to friends and family.
