To me it's the standard restaurant setup. You order at the counter for dine in or takeout. I ordered one pound of spare ribs, dark meat smoke chicken, sweet potato and Mac-n-cheese. All the food was good but I can tell the meat was cooked the previous day. To my surprise I didn't need barbecue sauce, the meat was perfectly seasoned and had good smoke flavor. Overall I enjoyed my meal and the prices are very good. I totally recommend this place if you're looking for barbecue in the area.

The lemonade was fantastic, some of the best I've ever tasted. I loved it! The cornbread and pork and beans were good too. The sweet potato soufflé had marshmallows on top and it was waaaaay too sweet. I couldn't even eat half of it. Some of the fish tasted good and other pieces were just meh and didn't seem quite done enough for me. The customer service was suspect. I was with a group of 6, and one person didn't get his meal until 20 minutes after everyone else. They also got a couple of orders wrong and just seemed disorganized. Some items were winners, but I think they can do better.

It's an all-you-can-eat experience where the food is brought to your table and you cook it yourself. The service was the highlight of our visit. Our server was wonderful, the hostess was welcoming and full of personality, and another staff member even stopped by to make sure we were being helped. That level of attentiveness is rare and appreciated. We ordered quite a variety, including squid, shredded chicken, shredded beef, shrimp, rolled beef, top steak, and several sushi selections. Most of the food was good, and everything arrived promptly. The sushi was decent, though not quite as fresh as I expected. I was also surprised that the top steak came as small cubes rather than a steak portion. The biggest disappointment was the no take-home policy. As first-time visitors, we didn't realize how much food would come with some of our orders and ended up leaving a significant amount behind. It's frustrating to see good food go to waste after you've already paid for the meal. The restaurant itself could use some updating. Several booth seats were worn and cracked, with foam showing through the upholstery. At $32-$37 per person, the dining area should feel a little more refreshed. For drinks, I had the Lychee Martini, which was weaker than expected, and my husband tried one of the Ocean cocktails and thought it was just average. He ended up ordering his usual tequila shot and a beer afterward. The drinks weren't bad, but they didn't live up to the rave reviews we had read beforehand. Overall, we enjoyed the experience, especially because of the excellent service and unique dining concept. With a few updates and some reconsideration of the leftover food policy, this could easily be a 5-star experience.

However the service is absolutely terrible and only declining. Pace yourself when you're drinking whatever drink you ordered because the chance of you catching your waiter to get another one will be almost non existent. Mostly teenagers are employed here which is good for the work experience but they are too busy on their cell phones to check on their tables. Even when the restaurant is empty you will still not receive service. You will watch your waiter pacing back and forth on their phone longer than you will spend drinking your water/soda. I used to come here once a week but the service has deterred me so much that at most I come once a month and each time I come it's getting worse and worse. I've had to pull the manager up on shift one time to ask for a simple refill because my waiter was too busy on the phone. I'm usually a great tipper, 25% or more, here I simply give 18% because most visits I sit for 30+ minutes with nothing to drink and zero way besides walking up to the waiter to get their attention since their phones are so close to their face it's touching their noses. I won't even come for dinner anymore because the price is not worth their service.

When it's nice outside they have several picnic tables to sit at and eat. The pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw is my favorite. They give a nice portion of meat on the sandwich. They have a good bbq sauce that goes well on it. The minced beef was not my cup of tea so I wouldn't order it again. The ribs are just ok. They use St. Louis style and precut them by the bone for you. It's a toss up when you get fall off the bone or rip off with your teeth. Most often it's tough and have to tear into it. They had baby back one time and I really enjoyed that. I think that should be the staple instead. I tried the catfish one time and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Definitely want to try it as a sandwich at some point. The fries are not cheap but the large is a lot of fries. I think their baked beans are the best in the area. The Mac and cheese is okay and did not care for the collard greens. Overall not a bad place and definitely better than most in the area. Still only go for a treat but I do come back.

This place was a big no for me…read more We visited for a late lunch on a Monday. There was plenty of parking and no line. We ordered the ribs and chicken combo with collard greens and macaroni and cheese, and the rib tips with a side of cornbread. We were pretty shocked and disappointed to see a bbq place selling prepackaged cornbread, and weren't aware that's what it was until after we got home and opened everything to eat. The Mac and cheese side was good, and I think the collard greens were ok, it just would have been better if they were cut up a little more manageable and didn't have so many stems. As for the meat....all of it was terrible! It was completed smothered in their bbq sauce and did not have a good flavor to it. After eating, my husband and I both got sick. We did also ordered one of the packaged Nightingale ice cream sandwiches, which was our favorite thing of the entire meal. Not a place we will go back to again.

I ordered the fried shrimp dinner($18). All dinner entrees come with two sides: I chose Mac & baked beans. My order took about 15 minutes. I really enjoyed the fried shrimp, it was seasoned well and cooked to a perfect golden brown. The Mac and cheese was not my favorite, the texture was a little too loose for my liking. Also, the cheese blend was basic, it's missing the kick that sharp cheddar or mustard would bring. The baked beans were not my favorite either. They were too sweet, I could smell sweetness as soon as I opened the tub. The baked beans could use more of savory touch to balance the sweetness. I was disappointed that this visit was underwhelming as last visit have been better. -Customer service was good. -There's no dine-in. There are a few seats to wait for your order. -Parking is rough on busier days. There's a very small lot as well as street parking. -Prices are average about $20 per meal. I hope you enjoy!

While service quality has varied over the years and their hours have unfortunately been reduced to just a few days a week, the food continues to make it well worth the visit.
