    My wife and I went to this restaurant on 7/12/26 and I ordered "The Big Brisket" and I understand that there will be pink with anything smoked but they brought this burger out and the patty was raw on the inside. The waitress takes the food back and tells me to not worry about that meal and to order something else. As I'm looking through the menu another lady and a cook comes out and starts telling me they can't take it off the bill because it was what I ordered and this cook with no teeth looks at me and tells me it says right here on the menu that because it's smoked it will have a pink ring. This patty didn't have a pink ring, it was completely raw. The description for how the smoked patties should come out is on a completely different burger they offer and the statement begins with "This Burger" So of course I wasn't even looking at this other option to read this. I guess they expect you to read their entire menu before ordering anything. They offered to discount it and said I could order something else but we just boxed up everything and left. They compensated us 25% for my meal which was about $3 and as you can see in the picture of the menu the description of how the smoked patty will come out in listed under "Smoked Brisket Cheeseburger" and I ordered "The Big Brisket" The worst part is they made me pay for this meal and wouldn't bring it back to me and said they already threw it away. We will never go back here. They obviously care more about the dollar than satisfying a paying customer.

    The food was really good, but the service was very slow and impersonal. BBQ was excellent, sides were delicious too, and the BBQ sauce at the table was good. They have letters on the top but without an explanation we just had to try them all to see what they were. "G" was on the NC Style, "OG" was we maybe original. The plates were very well loaded up, but the waitress put them on the opposite side of the table and not near us, she did tell us to just slide them around. The decor was awesome, seats were comfy. As we left, no one at the hostess booth said anything, but a "See you next time" or "Thank you, have a great day" would have gone a long way. This place came highly recommended to us, but the service really fell flat.

    6 smoked wings (available Friday and Saturday)  They were fantastic!

    The place is small but got packed quickly! Obviously a town favorite. There is also a bar attached. The service was speedy, accurate and kind. Good for families. Food was fantastic!

    Stopped by for the first time & ordered a meal to go. Our food came out quickly (less than 7 minutes). We got pulled pork & brisket with house made mild BBQ sauce & Carolina gold BBQ sauce. Both sauces were very good. We received generous servings of the pork & brisket and they were tasty. Our sides of baked beans, potato salad & green beans were meh. We'd return here but probably skip the sides next time.

    Brisket sandwich and fries.

    If you are ever driving along Hwy 64 and hungry for some good food, don't hesitate to stop here! We enjoyed a quick lunch. The restaurant is dim lit, but it's a cozy place, friendly service, with locals chatting over lunch. The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches were great! The hot bbq sauce has the perfect amount of spice and the Carolina gold is also yummy.

    Returning customner and food is still great. Tried something new . The waitress had said the soup was brisket and noodle soup. Got that and it was so worth it . Ordered the two meat combo . Ribs and pulled pork. Are the two sides could not finish the rest . Took it home had ribs for dinner and pulled pork the other night. Plenty of booths and tables . Waitress was very friendly and helpful, still recommend eating here.

    Pulled chicken sandwich with fries and extra coleslaw

    Picked this place on a whim as we were passing through town, and we found a gem! Come-as-you-are, super casual atmosphere with very fast service. Both of our entrees were delicious and a great price. Will definitely return if we are in the area again!

    Dark indoor seating, fries cooked to a good crisp. Homemade sauces are very indulgent. Burger is well seasoned. Styrofoam cups for sides. Toast is low quality. Burnt green beans. Ketchup with high fructose corn syrup. Sour cream comes in a small plastic pouch.

    The best I could show without being one of those weird food photographers.

She specialize in small batch cupcakes, but also offer custom birthday, wedding and shower cakes. If you cakes aren't your thing, then they offer a boat load of other goodies too. Such as...meringue pies, sugar cookies with buttercream frosting, hand pulled cream candy, fudge, and chocolate dipped caramel apples just to name a few. She hand makes all of her baked goods and sugary sweets out of her house and there fore doesn't have an official storefront. She usually requires a day or two advance notice to be able to fulfill most orders, but that goes with any at home bakers. In my opinion, it is worth the wait. Lollie's Sweet Treats has recently became a Kentucky Proud and Appalachian Proud member. Anytime I need cupcakes or cookies, I always give her a call. You should too. Tell her Chad Sent you.

Nice! They did have breakfast sandwiches. I had an everything bagel with egg, cheese and sausage. My wife had a scone with egg and cheese. We added coffee.
