They offer so many delicious sauces; my favorite was the coffee and the white. Our server was so friendly and guided us through the menu. The BBQ Solit is meant to be shared: a full grilled andouille sausage, split and served in a bed of corkscrew Mac n cheese, topped with baked beans, pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, tomatoes and sauced with BBQ of your choice. The burnt ends were nicely cooked and soft yet well done. The smells are wonderful. I will be back to try more off the menu.

It smells wonderful when walking in and everyone is very friendly. Got seated right away. Place looked very clean. We ordered the appetizer of creamed corn queso dip and chips. That was brought out pretty quickly and was pretty good. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries and a large side of beans, and a half rack of ribs with slaw and potato salad. A different girl other than our server brought out the food. The sandwich and fries were on one tray and the beans were on another. She asked who got the sandwich, and I pointed to my husband. So she set it down in front of him, and then set the tray with the beans on it in front of me and walked away. I slid them over to my husband and kinda looked at him with a puzzled expression. I thought, no big deal, someone will be back with my food. So he started eating and I took a couple of his fries while I waited. The sandwich had a good portion of meat on it and he said it was pretty good. The fries were hot and crispy and also good. The beans were in a little paper boat that got pretty soggy from the beans and kinda spread all over the tray which had a piece of paper on it, so that got pretty soggy too. Looked like maybe a cup of beans, for $4. He said they were so-so. He started eating and I waited. After he had eaten about half of his meal, our server came over and asked how everything was. I said, I wouldn't know since I didn't have any food. She apologized and said that she would go to the kitchen to check. She came back a few minutes later and said that they were just pulling them out and cutting the ribs and they would be out momentarily. When she brought them, there were exactly 3 bones of ribs. That is a half rack? For $15.99? Okay. I tried the potato salad. It tasted like straight mustard as the dressing. I use mustard in my potato salad, but it should be a compliment to the taste, you shouldn't just taste mustard. The potato chunks in it were kind of a rubbery texture, like canned potatoes. On to the slaw, it was not something that I wanted to finish, but that was just my taste buds. The ribs were lukewarm, which I expected them to be hot since they were "just pulling them out". They were pretty small and tasted ok. I was so disappointed all the way around. Took 2 bites of each of the sides and ate 1 rib, which was mostly bone. Didn't take it home, since I knew I wouldn't eat it. Would not make the drive there to eat again. The bill was almost $60, for food that half of it was inedible. Shame on me for not saying something, lesson learned

Damn near a hit. if they could just get the kitchen together regarding temperature and consistency. They would be slaying. Let's talk about what is good... The environment. It just feels like a place you want to sit down and eat a rack of ribs. It's clean, modern, and inviting. It is cool to see what they have done with the old black pearl. Our waitress was excellent! She was fast, attentive, and warm. I can't speak enough about the service. From the moment we sat down until the moment we left, we were truly waited on. We had drinks, we had our food extremely fast, and even when there was an issue with our meal, the manager came right over. (I didn't ask, the waitress brought her over when she noticed our untouched ribs and potato) If our food had been as warm as our staff, they would probably be sitting on closer to five stars Let's talk about the gumbo. The flavor was great! However, the rice inside of it was severely undercooked. It was crunchy in places. Some of it was cooked, however, there were multiple clumps of uncooked (I can't even call it undercooked) rice. And it wasn't hot. My husband can eat piping hot food, I am talking about tea right out of the kettle... But I am not so fortunate. I started to blow on the soup and he laughed at me and said it wouldn't be necessary. To be fair, it was his gumbo, but he was right. It wasn't hot. It was barely a notch above warm, which makes me concerned about things like foodborne illness. But because the sausage, the chicken, and the roux were so damn good. I ate around it and decided to risk it. Next out, the ribs and brisket combo and my husband's wings. The wings were great. Zero notes except they flew off the bone into my husband's mouth faster than I could even get to my food. The brisket wasn't hot, but I don't expect it to be after it's rested so I will give that a free pass. My baked potato couldn't melt the butter. I also gave that a free pass since I planned on taking it home. But when I dug into my ribs, they were cold. And I don't mean warm, I mean cold. The surface was warm but by the bone was like they were out of the refrigerator. They had a decent flavor, but when ribs are that cold, they are a bit tough. Our waitress brought out a fresh rack, but by then I had already eaten my way through half of my husband soup, part of his meal, and my brisket so I ate one knuckle and took the rest home. I would come back for the atmosphere, the wait staff, and the flavor... But I hope execution gets cleaned up because I probably wouldn't come back a third time if I had a similar experience. I love eating local, and I hope they have a better run than the black pearl. The portions are generous, the pricing is more than fair. They do a lot of daily and happy hour as well as late night specials. Also, when I go to a barbecue spot, I want a bread option. I know this is me being a spoiled carb princess... But nothing sets me up for a good meal like some cornbread or dinner rolls. Lastly, I hope they end up bottling and selling some of their sauces locally. Their Carolina mustard base barbecue was stellar and the hot barbecue just as good.

I honestly had to ask around because bbq is not my thing. Called, no answer. Look online, no menu since 2023. Figured big sis would give up n go to Deets or someplace. Nope. They went over there. First thing she says when she calls me is how rude one of the folks behind the counter was. Im on break! She barked. Said she sounded like our Grandma and u just dont know. The man and I added some things for ourselves. Half slab ribs, baked beans, pulled pork, polish sausage, hot wings. I think all that was like $35 so a steal til the man tries to bite into the ribs and basically got all bone lol. Baked beans tasted like they came from a can. Forgot about the fried catfish. Now that was good n crispy. Those hot wings had me sweating like I like to so cant complain on them. Had nerve to give me hot sauce with them hot ass things lol. Sis n bro n law said basically the same. Sauce was ok and you better add some on the side because not much on there. I hear they used to have black eye peas etc but no more. It was worth $80 for 4 folks but this is no We b ribs or anything like the old school bbq we grew up on. Oh, lose another star for not answering so big sis had no idea they only take straight cash homie. She had to leave n go find an atm.
