    Stopped by for an early dinner. It is an unassuming exterior, but easy to spot from the road due to…read morethe easy-to-spot signage. The inside was very clean and offered indoor dining or carry out. We ordered the pulled pork platter the two sides for this were the baked beans and the vinegar slaw. The pulled pork was some of the best I've eaten. I didn't add any sauce -no need to change that delicious flavor!! We also ordered the rib and brisket platter. Again, what can I say but both meats were tremendously yummy. However we did try some of the Alabama white sauce on the ribs-- yum!! The collard greens and potato salad were also good. Prices are moderate and the service was quick. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I met the owner while I was there and he was was very friendly and outgoing. The ambiance is pretty humble, but it is thefood that truly shines here. I went with the chicken and for my sides I went with the potato salad and the hot mustard slaw. The chicken was stellar. The potato salad was great. Personally, I was not blown away by the mustard slaw, but I never had it before and it could just be me. Mitchell's Smoked Meats is analyzing choice and I would definitely recommend Mitchell's Smoked Meats.

    Quick take: 3-stars is generous. Food was good and bad. Service was nice, but execution was…read morequestionable. Restaurant looked clean. I probably won't come back to this location, maybe would try another. We rolled through drive-thru around 4pm on Saturday, October 18th. We were 1st in line, didn't look like many people inside. We were asked to pull forward, which is fine. We got a slaw dog, a Bama Wrap with fries, a pork sandwich, pecan pie, and sweet tea. We didn't wait too long but I am not sure which thing took the longest. The reason I say that is the fries were soggy so surely we weren't waiting on them. Also, the sandwich's bun was very soggy, almost sopping wet. I would say this is carry-out and these sat in box but that was not the case. We opened right after getting Slaw dog - delicious, but WEAK dog. This hot dog tasted awesome but the weiner was little. It didn't fill the bun and it was very narrow. Would love this with a better weiner. Bama Wrap - delicious and would order again. Very messy. Interested in the other wraps. Pecan pie - good, average. Not many pecans. Very thin layer on top. Also, no fork so we had to eat with hand (no biggie.) Sweet tea - great Pork Sandwich - pork had a good taste but wife couldn't eat the sandwich because both buns were soaked through and falling apart. Maybe get all wet stuff on the side. But I don't understand because she got into it pretty quickly. Fries - such great potential. They had a nice flavor. But these were all soggy and not fresh/hot. Very sad. They were the first thing I reached for because I could eat while driving.

    Food was cold. Pork sandwich with fries both cold and the meat tasted like it came straight from a…read morecan. Beans were cold. Definitely not going back.... Complete lack waste of money and time.

    Notice the meat portion; absurdly small. Mac & Cheese portion would have been fine if edible.

    First off, I wanna say that if you don't order the Molcajete, I can't look at you. I just can't…read more You're not a real man --or woman-- if you can't order and eat the molcajete plate. Now, before I go any further, I should tell you that when you pay $22 for the Molcajete, it's going to be an awful lot of food...easily enough for two people--possibly six people or a small family -- but that should not keep you from ordering this amazing dish. So what's in it? You have two huge pieces of steak, two large chicken breasts, some cebollín, a handful of shrimp, a generous helping of chorizo and some nopales. If I have to translate any of that, then you might wanna go to a different restaurant or take Spanish lessons. On top of all of that, it comes with your choice of flour or corn tortillas-- I chose maiz --and a large plate of rice and beans. If you're still reading this, it means that you know what you're doing and you're unafraid. So go ahead and put the mild salsa they give to the tourists aside and order the hotter salsa... it will come in a small bowl and it will be hot and flavorful. Now, order a couple cold draft Mexican beers and get down to eating as much of this wonderful dish as you can. It's an incredible experience and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. The waitstaff are very nice. You're welcome.

    I really had some mixed thoughts on this place.It is very new, just about 2 months old. I also ate…read morethere at 3 in the afternoon. I was the only customer in there. I was seated immediatley and chips and salsa were on the table right away. The salsa was very thick and hard to pour out of the vase shaped bottle. I like thick salsa so this is only an observation. The menu is huge, very often this means they have a lot to offer and nothing is really good. This was true here as well. Restaurants need to learn to do something they are good at and do it better than anyone else. With so many choices I had a hard time choosing and finally got the special combo. taco, chalupa, enchilada. chile relleno and tamale served with beans and rice. The chile relleno was good, I don't like chalupas so I got a second taco instead. There was nothing extra on the tacos, meat cheese and lettuceand they were not stuffed full. The enchilada was good, the tamale was over cood on both ends to the point that the ends were to hard to chew. The rice was undercooked and the beans were fine. The food was just OK. The service was good, I think the shift changed while I was there. I had a young lady at first who was very attentive and helpful. Partway through my meal another lady took over and gave equally good service. Everything was very clean, but they were new enough it would have been hard to be really dirty yet. There are a lot of mexican places in this area, I hope this one improves some items so they will make it.
