    Choice of sauces

    Yum!!! I saw this place when I pulled into my hotel last night but it was late. Planned to stop in today after work. I am thrilled I did. My pulled chicken and Brussels were absolutely delicious. Corn bread, too. So good that I also placed a to go order for my lunch tomorrow. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating. Extensive menu. Perfect experience. I come to the base several times a year. This place is going on my list of "my visit"s when in town!

    Came here with my husband for a quick bite before going on base. Prices are decent, people are very nice, food on point! The only reason why I gave this a 4 was because there were 2 annoying flies around bothering us. Definitely coming back here again!

    Pulled pork and chips

    The only reason I gave this place 3 stars because they have outstanding staff other than that. Not so much. It smells really great when we came in, and my brother was super excited to eat here as his friends had spoken about it before. They all ordered different things like brisket, pulled pork sandwiches, and some type of sliced meat sandwich. My dad was mad the the brisket and cornbread (they were dry) but thought the sides were okay. All the sandwich folks thought it was okay. I tried the catfish, with collards and Mac & cheese. The catfish was seasoned. Okay. But I could taste that strange taste of the actual meat when it isn't washed and brined, just right. The mac and cheese was okay, but the collard greens were not. Spicy, salty, sweet, tangy, and twangy at the same time. I ended up swapping them out for the potato chips, which were pretty tasty. Maybe it was an off day, not sure.

    Service here is exceptional. The workers were all busy whether it was cooking, cleaning, taking orders, running food, & decorating for Halloween. They were are very friendly & so accommodating. Food is definitely good & the ambiance is clean inside, festive & offers plenty of seating. Condiments are self serve & you have 3 options of BBQ sauce at each table (my favorite was the kicked up BBQ because it had a little heat to it & was thicker in texture then the other 2 options which appeared a little too runny for my liking but also were tasty). The star of the show were the sweet chili Brussel sprouts. They were delicious. I thought the cornbread was dry & bland as was the Mac & cheese. The pulled pork was flavorful but also needed the extra bbq sauce to finish it off. Great little stop across the street from the military base. I definitely will be back to try some other options because the service alone was worth it. A little pricey for BBQ but worth it because the portions are huge & they offer military discount.

    This place is pretty dang good. I visited here from California and Texas and I recommend this place for a barbecue. I got the brisket, chopped and the sliced brisket. They were delicious. I also got the catfish as well and it was great every single time. Even the coleslaw is good as well. Make sure you stop here in five days. I ate here three times.

    It's been years since I've been there, the menus changed a bit, but the food is still delicious. Not a fancy place, but cozy inside if you want to eat in. Great tasting BBQ from ribs to brisket to chicken. The spicy barbecue sauce is delicious on their smoked wings. Could not complain about anything. Service is great fast and friendly.

    - im not sure what happened here but this was the worst fried chicken sandwich ive ever had. Maybe the grease was burned. Tastes horrible. Tasted burnt. No flavor. Cole slaw was terrible. And for $15?? Very disappointed.

    Pricey, but was better this time around with beef. Burger + chips + Fountain Water less than $13.

    Unassuming place but if you want solid BBQ at a reasonable price, give this a shot. I had the brisket platter.
