Usually I give most of my BBQ places the 1-2-3 punch, 3 tries or your in or out. This place got…read morethe 3rd try and was still in my mind some of the best BBQ I'd had in the area - so I wrote my previous review. Well, after try number 12 or so, I've got a bit more to say on the subject. If you read my previous review it's accurate about 3 out of 5 trips. There are a couple trips where the meat isn't his typical cut, like maybe a whole different source.... or he has the right meat and pulls the meat out to early. In my mind, you don't substitute, period. Once he told me the ribs would be slightly underdone and then got mad at me when they weren't edible AT ALL. Another time, he was to pull the meats off the grill after hours to give to me, then totally forgot about me. On Several occasions, it hasn't lived up to the 5 star I originally gave it and would actually have come in at a 2 star. On way more occasions than I can count, he has been out of at least a few primary items, if not most of them - early in the day. In addition to this, the owner is just not a pleasurable person. I appreciate when a place takes pride in its work and realizes that customer service is 50% of a business, whatever that business may be, if not sometimes 100%. He just doesn't seem to get that. After seeing what happened with Iama C. in his review, it really doesn't surprise me at all, and I wanted to make sure I came back and addressed the consistency/personnel issues in another review. Since making this final discovery about 3 months ago I haven't been back. It will be a while more before I go back. Realize that if you go here, you might get the 5 star experience, or you might get the 2 star experience. I hope it's the prior!

This was a great treat on a nice warm day in February. Several of us had brisket and thought it was excellent. One ordered ribs and got a most fantastic looking rack.

Writing on the walls and chairs, menus board hanging on the wall and daily specials written on chalk boards. Or orders were quickly taken by a very efficient hostess the. We grabbed a seat. I ordered brisket and pork with collards and cobbler. My wife ordered the same with the grits and my son had the side of Mac and cheese with his brisket. The brisket slices were think and it was really well cooked. The pork was awesome but the sides were out of this world. Every single one of them was perfect. There were four BBQ sauces to choose from, Eastern NC style, hot, mild and mustard. I am not a huge fan of mustard BBQ (I'm from NC, IYKYK) but I'll say this was the best I had. The hot was my favorite and it had just the right amount of heat. For those that may be concerned about the description of the writing on the walls and divey spot don't be. The place was clean and very nice. The health rating was great and it was a really nice place.

Before I even start with the food, let me just say that the ladies working the counter were as friendly and polite and welcoming as you'll find anywhere!! Just so nice!! I ordered the sampler platter so I could taste all their meats, and for my 2 sides collard greens (incredible!) and Mac & Cheese (delicious!). From the meats, the pulled pork was my favorite, followed closely by the ribs. Chicken and sausage were good as well. Also - the hot BBQ and Sweet BBQ sauces were very tasty and unique. But again - what made the food taste even better was the INCREDIBLE ladies who welcomed me in. As I was leaving, a man arrived to help them and he was equally friendly, thanking me profusely for coming in. Great people and great food - the perfect combination!

However, the server who offered them took our ticket and ghosted us completely. Never even saw again anywhere. A half hour after we sat down another server showed up with our food, which they somehow messed up. My friend ordered the kids pulled pork sandwich with a side of coleslaw and a banana pudding. They brought the coleslaw ON the sandwich instead of a side of coleslaw. Explained it to waitress number 2 who took the sandwich back to get it corrected and bring us some pork rinds. A couple mins later reappeared with pork rinds and a kids pulled pork sandwich with the coleslaw on the side - like a 1 oz bbq sauce size plastic cup of coleslaw, not a side order of coleslaw. My friend just shook her head and let it ride because now it was almost 45 mins after we sat down. Our receipt wasn't itemized so we couldn't even check to see what we were charged for. The bbq is still great at this location, but the service was not last night.
