Wow. I'm a bbq connoisseur from North Carolina but have had BBQ at hundreds of places across the US…read moreand I can easily say this is top 3 I've ever had and maybe even number 1. Don't let the small place fool you, it looks very unassuming but wow was I impressed. I had a pound of brisket and it was so tender and juicy and flavorful. Had a half rack of ribs and wow it literally melted in your mouth. The sauce on the ribs was fantastic but the yellow sauce for the brisket was out of this world. The mustard based sauce was unlike any bbq sauce I've ever had and had a nice little kick to it as well. The mustard slaw, which I had never even heard of, was delicious. It's certainly a strong mustard base but if you like mustard you'll love it. I don't normally go for dessert as I'm carnivore but I was so impressed with the meal I knew I had to try the desserts. I had the carrot cake and the butterfinger cake. Wow. Both were the bomb but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the butterfinger and I'm not even a huge butterfinger person. If you live within an hour of this place do yourself a favor and go here. I'd just about fly from NC just to eat here again.

Exploring Florence, we ate lunch at the BBB and thoroughly enjoyed it…read more Right off the bat-- as we walked in I asked my wife if we should ask to sit at the window counter (where we like to sit wherever we go) and the hostess heard me and took us there without asking us-- like she had ESP! And then the waitress was super friendly (like everyone we met in Florence). My wife had the ham po'boy which was grilled like a Cuban sandwich (yay!) and I had the fried shrimp po'boy. Both were excellent. For sides my wife chose a half grapefruit brûléed and I had marinated tomatoes. I remember having sugar on a half grapefruit as a kid, but bruleed? Epic! I loved the big wall in the front dining area-- half of a Cessna airplane on the wall, superimposed on a blueprint painting (see photo). Very creative. We'll be back!

But we decided to eat inside and the owners came and chatted with us and even offered us free brownies- they were out of this world delicious. We ordered a BBQ plate(meat & 3). I got smoked turkey, fried okra, collard greens, & green beans. The turkey had a great smoked flavor and the portion was nice size. The vegetables were good-could have used a little more seasoning. Their BBQ sauces were really good. They are famous for their chicken salad. We bought a pint and ate it when we got home. It was very good. Perfect Southern Chicken Salad.

We opted for a Pulled pork plate with baked beans and potato salad; and a wing snack with vinegar slaw. Pulled pork was moist and smoky. No sauce needed. Sides were excellent. Wings were cooked nicely and I added a little of their mild BBQ sauce. Gave it a nice flavor. The vinegar slaw was a little dry and bland. Could have used some salt. Overall good meal. No real complaints. Would go back.
