    Burnt Ends, Sausage, Wings, BBQ beans, and Mac and Cheese
    Khoa L.

    Great service! Our server gave us the run down on what to get and was extremely accommodating. Ribs, sausage, wings, sandwiches, and burnt ends were sooo flavorful. On the table, the provide you with various BBQ sauces from different regions for you to try. The Cornbread was moist and great to eat with your plate. Additionally, the sides such as warm potato salad, mac and cheese, and bbq beans were perfectly made. The restaurant is homey and perfect for those on vacation looking for a southern bbq experience.

    Enjoyed great service, good food in a comfortable environment. Food that was sampled at our table included a BLT, wings, baked beans, buffalo chicken wrap, fries, potato salad and corn muffins. All the food was very good, loved the wings. Memphis style sauce and the baked beans. The corn muffins are so good! We had a large group and our waitress was on top of it all. Very kind and efficient. It's a nice place inside with fun accent pieces throughout the establishment.

    3 meat. Ribs, 1/2 Chicken OL, brisket.

    We went on a Monday because kids eat for .99. It was good. I got the three meat platter because I wanted to try numerous meats. I asked what was the best. The waitress said, 1/2 chicken, brisket and burnt ends. So I got brisket, chicken and St. Louis style ribs. The brisket was the worst of the three. Tastes like the pictures look. Dry and no flavor. Should have done the burnt ends. The ribs were good, but the chicken was the best. Super moist and flavorful. They give you two sides even if you get a sandwich. I got the mashed potatoes and the Mac n cheese. Both were really good. I would go back. But not for the brisket.

    These ribs were off the hook, my favorite sauce is Memphis

    We've been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years and it's still a fantastic place to eat! They have daily specials during the week. But honestly, the ribs are what brings us back every single time! I also love the county Grill salad, you'll have smoked brisket and smoked chicken on it with Mari of greens and delicious tangy apples. The cornbread and butter is a favorite and a must eat since they bring them hot and fresh to your table when you sit down. You'll get great service in a fantastic atmosphere of friends and family enjoying a good meal. They have a full bar and a great micro brewery.

    Always great service and more food than you can eat so leftovers to go . Was craving comfort food and did not disappoint

    Parmesan Garlic wings.
    Taylor B.

    We had the pleasure of having Molly on our first visit here. Right when you sit down they bring you delicious corn bread. We started off we a flight of beers that came out nice and quick. As an app we had Parmesan garlic wings. Great flavor and the wings were juice. For our main we had the pick 3. Burnt ends, St. Louis ribs and pulled chicken. The Burnt ends and the ribs were in the same house sauce which was fantastic. The pulled chicken was nice and moist. We will be frequenting here. Molly was a fantastic server and it just feels like home in here. I also like that they decorated for Halloween. Can't wait to come back here! Ps sorry I didn't take a photo of the pick 3. It looked so good I forgot!

    Everything was delicious with an exception to the smoke Mac and Cheese it needed a little love. I had the back lion ribs (Baby back) with a side of okra and loaded bake potato. The Mrs had the trio smoke wings, pulled pork, and beef brisket with a side of smoke Mac and Cheese (which she switched out for okra) and collard greens which she said were delicious. She also ordered banana pudding to go. We will definitely return and try other items on the menu, my eye is on a certain burger I saw delivered to another table! I just love eating with my eyes.

    We walked in and were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess. We opted to sit at the bar for lunch. The bar tender was amazing. She let us try multiple beers while we were deciding on one for a pint sized glass. She was super friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is exactly what you should expect a BBQ restaurant. It is very clean and inviting the staff are super friendly and nice. The food was excellent. The drinks were great. We started with the mini cornbread muffins. They were on the sweet side. They come with soft butter. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich minus the buns. The pulled pork was great plus you have a choice of 5 different BBQ sauces at your table. I prefer the "Savannah" sauce which is a mustard based sauce like a Carolina Gold sauce. Our sides were BBQ beans, Potato Salad, and Mashed Potatoes with gravy. The beans were good not great. I wish they would add pork to them or meat to give them some more flavor. The mashed potatoes with gravy were good. The potato salad was excellent. I would choose this side over the mashed potatoes. Then for dessert we had the warm banana pudding. It was different. It was similar to a bread pudding consistency. I am not a big fan of meringue but the pudding tasted good. The food, drinks, and service were great. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place to eat lunch or dinner.

They even landed a spot on Channel 13's Friday Flavor segment years back. Let's see how the food turned out. There was a decent crowd inside when we walked inside. The decor was nice and clean. Again, the restaurant's been around for years, but it's definitely well kept. Just like other BBQ spots, you have to order up front. On the right, the menu's on the board to choose from. It took us minutes to select our respective meals, but at the end of the day, we were ready. For my order, I selected a dinner size plate of beef brisket with a side of fried pickles. All was quite delicious. The brisket was cooked perfectly and went well with both BBQ sauces from Scoot's. And I liked their fried pickles were actually small spears. Fried and not too much sodium. Sophia ordered a brisket sandwich with fried pickles and enjoyed her selection. A very good first time for the both of us. This won't be the last time we'll be here. Till next time :)

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

The heat level was just right -- enough to notice, but still easy to enjoy without reaching for water every second. You could tell they were made fresh, not sitting around.

I found this place in yelp and wanted to give it a try. It's in a small strip mall and at first we were afraid they weren't there anymore because there isn't a marquee sign above the restaurant but there is a large smoker truck that looks like it's used for catering that helped us find it. The parking lot was full which blocked the signage on the doors/windows. The inside has a few small tables and a counter to the right to order from with the kitchen behind. There was a few chairs across from the counter to wait for to go orders. You choose your own table after ordering. The owner was personable and chatting an older gentleman that had been there awhile. We later realized he was the owner when he came out to see how our food was. The ribs fell off the bone and the baked beans had ground beef and some peppers. They were delicious and had such good flavor. Rolls were served with the meals. The portions were large and we took home our leftovers. I was a little surprised that our food was served in to go containers even though we asked to dine in. You pick up your own plasticware at the counter where you pick up your order. While it's not a typical sit down place with table service or bar drinks, the food was really good and hot. We'll definitely go again. Also love that it's veteran owned and he's present and cares about the service provided. It was also evident he cares about his staff as we overheard them discussing one of the kids preparing for high school graduation.
