Both the men I saw asked multiple times if everything was good and if I needed anything. The food is soooooo soooo good. I loved how non fatty the pulled pork was it was absolutely delicious! I loved the bbq sauce choices they had. The sides were absolutely delicious and amazing as well. The ambience was quiet and I enjoy that a lot because it's better to be able to talk to your friends and family rather then yelling across the table. I will definitely come back and give them my services again. If you see this place you have to try it. I truly truly loved this place so so much. May God continue to keep your business thriving.

We got the pulled pork sandwich and tots. Everything came quickly. Tots were golden fried, perfectly crispy. Pulled pork was topped with a cabbage slaw inside a toasted bun. All very good. Served hot and fresh. Server was very busy but took the time to be friendly and welcoming. Nice homey place to eat. Will definitely return. We're not from the area, we flew in for bbq.

The food is delicious and the service is great and set in a classic southern BBQ/beachy decor. But on this visit I had the pulled chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, smokey and piled high as usual. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and found it moist, smoky and piled high. On a side note, check out the menu. They have a great variety to fit most anyone's taste buds. Try it, you'll like it!

Lots of sugar in everything (even the BBQ slaw was almost unbearable) and the pulled chicken was lacking in flavor and freshness. Onion rings were good though. I would not recommend.

We found the…read moreplace to be a nice and local restaurant (early what we wanted to since we don't like the typical big chains when we travel). The layout was spacious. You order at the counter and then they seat you. The young ladies were patient with us since it took us a while to decide. We went with the traditional dishes. The food came out quickly and the young lady who was waiting our area was always checking our drinks. Honestly the food was so so and we weren't too impressed. I'm glad we shared our meal and didn't go all out. Overall we felt it was so so. I did get a souvenir t-shirt. Wish I had a better review to post. Overall it's an okay spot and hope it was just an isolated incident.

The best deal on the menu is the sandwich with a side. We ordered three and then all agreed on the sides so we could try each others.

We went early but it was getting packed by the time we left so timing is critical. Lots of parking, friendly southern service, great clientele and people. Would absolutely go again if in this area.
