    The source of the heavenly aroma and flavor that is The Perfect BBQ.  You can't miss seeing the billowing smoke!
    Jeremy E.

    We had to go out to Oakland for some supplies yesterday and we decided to drop in to Loven Fresh for some bbq. The second you pull up and open the car door, the aroma envelopes you! I joke with my wife all the time calling it "Real Man Cologne". It's that very aroma that permeates the pork. We got it home and I swear...there was no need for sauce! Trust me when I say there's a reason that they've been there all these years and doing well! If you have not picked up some of this bbq yet you are truly missing out! I bet it drives some of the residents in the neighborhood behind them insane when they're hungry...that smoke! If you aren't hungry, you will be once the scent hits you!

    Ultimate Smokehouse Pulled Chicken nachos.

    Most consistently good restaurant I've ever been to. Always top notch customer service and food!! Love this place!

    Boss BBQ Plate is worth the $10! Very good! The overstuffed Chicken Salad on homemade Wheat Bread is delish! I add Lettuce & Tomato. Most Sandwiches are $6-$8.50. You can also buy bulk meats by the pound. A variety of "Country Store" type items ~ Sauces, Rubs, Condiments, Jellies ~ are available (see photos). Employees are courteous & Orders come out quickly. Also, Orders are being taken now for carryout Thanksgiving Dinners. [[Brian, my friend, the "Dining Room" is the Parking Lot! While I Launder my King Comforter & Wash my Car! I'm sorry to hear about your injury ]]

    I was not too impressed with the ribs, but they did look good.
    Brian L.

    This place really needs a dining room. That's my main deterrent from eating here. I really wanted some ribs and since I hurt my foot, I couldn't cook my own. They told me the ribs were a day old. They looked good. I was just not impressed at all. I am a complete rookie amateur and mine are better. Aside from these tasting a bit old and overcooked, I thought they were too salty. I ate a few and put the rest in the fridge. I never did finish them because they weren't great the first time. The pulled pork however was incredible! It was melt in your mouth meat heaven. I can't say yet if it was the best I've ever had, but it was one of them. It was certainly better than my own BBQ. I'm trying to decide if this was 3 stars or 4. I was walking on crutches and there's nowhere inside to sit down, so I asked if I could wait in the car and if they would bring my order to our car. They did and that's my reason for the 4th star.

    Very unprofessional

    Very unprofessional. I called 3 hours before closing and they were out of bbq. I understand that it's mother's day and that's you were out but no need to call me a ****off and dip****

As soon as you're seated, you'll have a tempting signboard presented at your table with every southern classic you can imagine. With entrees like fried chicken and catfish, endless sides like turnip greens, white beans, and just about anything you can imagine fried, and every kind of southern pie, it's all there. The catfish is magnificent, with that wonderfully gritty cornmeal batter surrounding flaky, tender fish. The complimentary roll is also delicious! And the servers are very nice here! But there are some downsides. The fried okra, my favorite southern side dish, is actually soft and soggy. No self respecting southerner would ever make soggy fried okra. It's about the worst I ever had. And the onion rings, which are hard to mess up, were burnt black and lacked flavor. They were inedible. The cashier is rude and doesn't have time for "thank you" or small talk or a smile or even giving you your receipt when nobody else is in line to pay their bill. That's just how it is. If you want good catfish, Sling Shot Charlie's will come through. But if you want a southern culinary experience that's enjoyable, there are much better places to have it!

The biggest issue was the service. The employee working the cash register came across as rude and unfriendly, as if customers were inconveniencing him. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like we were being treated poorly, which put a damper on the entire visit. While the food tasted good, the portions were a bit skimpy on ingredients for the price. Considering how expensive everything was, I expected better value and a more positive customer experience. I know this restaurant has plenty of fans, but I found some of the employees to be arrogant and dismissive. The treatment we received felt rude and unprofessional, and it left a lasting negative impression. Overall, I am deeply disappointed. Good food can only make up for so much, and the poor service overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable meal. I would not return based on the way we were treated. It's very clean but very old stuff and to much on display with old plants everywhere.
