    Pork plate with Mac and fries, smoked wings, and pork fries in the back.
    Bailey B.

    3 stars for food / 5 stars for location/atmosphere, so a 4 overall. This little bbq joint is located in Jackson County Park right by a boat rental area. It has a little pier/dock that extends a bit into the lake with tables and chairs where you can dine with a view of the water. The view is beautiful -- the lake pushes up against gorgeous green mountains -- and perfect on a sunny day. The view and location alone make it a highly desirable spot to eat lunch. The inside of the restaurant is pretty typical of a southern bbq joint. Unpretentious, comfortable, a little kitschy in an endearing way. You walk right in and order at the counter. The staff was a little overwhelmed when we walked in and had some trouble keeping our large order straight, but they were friendly and considering how busy they were, it was understandable for sure. Plus, our order came out right, which is all that matters in the end. We had the smoked wings, pulled pork loaded fries, and a pork plate with fries, garlic toast, and macaroni and cheese. We tried the sweet bbq and the ranch as our dipping/drizzling sauces of choice. The food was okay to good, depending on the item. Weakest link was probably the macaroni and cheese, which had a very thin, anemic cheese sauce that didn't taste like much of anything. The crinkle cut fries were maybe a little underdone but salted perfectly. They went well with the ranch. The pork itself was pulled a little too finely for our tastes, making it a little mushy. It was also lacking a little bit of smoke flavor. However, we really liked the bbq sauce; it was a great balance of sweet and vinegary, and its addition helped make the pork better. The best thing was definitely the smoked wings. My only complaint is they were maybe a tiny bit dry, but they had excellent smoke flavor and a good texture -- not tough or anything. The garlic toast was also surprisingly delicious. Not soggy at all, crispy crust, and perfectly toasty. If you're looking for a fun road trip from Huntsville (like us) or if you just want to enjoy some beautiful weather by the water, KC's is definitely worth a try!

    Well defined smoke bark on the brisket

    Scenic, serene little bbq joint that sits on the water. Just about 15 minutes from Unclaimed Baggage if you are in the area seeing that. First-get the brisket-no really the brisket is the best I've had across multiple states. It's got a good bark line, and is tender and juicy-no knife or fork required. Their classic bbq sauce is a perfect compliment. The potato salad and Mayo slaw were good too-solid sides. But the brisket-oh man. The wings were smoked evenly and we're just as good. You can't beat the price, the food is excellent, and the patio view on the waterfront during the fall season when the leaves are changing is just perfect. Delicious! All the way!

    Amazing Alabama barbecue in a fantastic setting overlooking Guntersville Lake. Try their Alabama white barbecue sauce.

    This was a great find while traveling through to Gulf Shores. Brisket was awesome. On the water made it even better.

    Food is always amazing and plentiful! We get takeout from here all the time, and it never…read moredisappoints. I've never known of anyone that couldn't get full from one of their dinners and not have leftovers.

    Let's be honest, this isn't 5 star Japanese cuisine, but they don't pretend to be. This is simple,…read morefast, but also tasty, Japanese style food. Their sushi is basic, the Japanese style dishes are somewhat reminiscent of the Japanese style food I would eat in Okinawa - mostly tailored for the American palate, not the Japanese. So, what makes this place worth 4 stars? The combination of price, experience, expectation, and taste. They have a regular sesame chicken special (not to be confused with the Americanized Chinese dish of the same name). It's not battered and fried, and it's not sweet. IMHO, it's better. And you can't beat the price of $6.99. The portions are good, everything is made fresh, the sushi is fair (but so is the price). Reading some of the older reviews it's easy to see why restaurant owners fislike Yelpers. Two words, unfair expectations. If you expect five star experiences at a two star price, you're the one that's delusional. If you get what you pay for then you only have room to praise, not condemn. Their service is fast, this place is not fancy but the owners keep it clean. I've never been in there where they aren't mopping the floor or wiping down tables and the like. And they're very friendly! Small towns like this need people like this who are willing to open up restaurants and charge fair prices. The alternative is a town filled with boring chain restaurants or, even worse, poorly run chains run by people who don't care! So, buy local when you can!
