Can't complain about that! Our waitress, Ashley, was as kind as could be. Very attentive and so friendly. Our table also enjoyed the pineapple soft serve ice cream. There is a good range of options on the seafood buffet, plus a salad bar and some sides such as fries, coleslaw, and potato salad that are offered. While the outside of the restaurant may appear a little run down, the food and service are great.

When we went there were only two waitresses/hostess running the whole show. They did a phenomenal job all things considered but the "buffet" was so under par it was a joke. A few pieces of meat, seafood that would make a mediocre Chinese restaurant blush with shame.

Been coming in here once every few years for 20 years and I'm sorry to report it's not as good as…read moreit used to be. Actually I think other bbq places may have gotten better but this place has not. Chopped pork was ok but not distinctive. Red Cole slaw was excellent. Sweet potato casserole is a sugar bomb, hiding sweet potato flavor. Jalapeño corn bread was just not good, too cakey, no jalapeños. Fair prices. $7.99 value meal is a good deal. I'm also sad that it was virtually empty on the weekday we visited at noon. It's never been a place for ambiance and is still not. On the hunt for better barbecue place.

Food was good. I did take out. That was problematic…read more I ordered combo, requested my sauce When I finally got to the window for pickup, the bag was given with a smile and knot in the top. I drove around and parked to eat. Upon releasing the knot, sauce was wrong, it was bbq, not Honey mustard, color should have been easy to get right, no utensils, and no napkins. I went back through line and called from behind the car at the window. There is a small door for staff to egress if needed. I called, stated problems and said my location. Man on phone said no problem right on it. No one came out. So Seven minutes later I came to window. They knew nothing of what I was talking about , because I had to explain again. Blank face. Then another associate handed the man a small bag. He just handed it me no looking inside of it. So when I got it, it had sauce utensils and only one napkin. Again this is bbq. I said only one napkin, again blank stare no movement. That's when I actually got mad. Shot a,bird, not proud of, and pulled off. Staff at window sucks, long waits alot if mealing around and nothing going out window timely. This was the first time I had been back since new management over a year ago. Same attitude.

Once seated, the restaurant has a large team of employees seating and getting the next guest ready in no time. The food was great, I was impressed with the flavors of the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. Smoked with perfection and seasoned just right while still keeping the flavor of the meat. For our sides, We had cheesy jalapeño grits, sweet potatoes with a brown sugar crust and a red slaw (spicy vinegar based). We also had the banana pudding for dessert which was great.

My only complaint was that the kitchen took a while to get our food out, but the appetizers and salads came out quickly and if I returned super hungry I would order a soup or salad before dinner. My salmon was top notch. The skin was crispy and the meat was perfectly cooked. My god mother loved her tomato bisque and fried oysters. The grits an polenta were what everyone at the bar was talking about. Many of the cocktails looked delicious and I can wait to come back sometime when I can try a few. It's a perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night.
