Decent BBQ joint that seems to VERY popular with the locals. For the area it is probably one of the…read morebest options. It absolutely doesn't compare to what I'm used to at my regular joints in New Orleans, Texas etc. etc. During my first visit I was considering making a return visit to sample their burger but after looking at pictures of the burger and from my experience of their BBQ I just think I'm not going to ever be motivated enough to make a return visit as to me it just doesn't ring my bell as I've been so spoiled by Gonzo's Smokehouse in Luling, LA (best in the WORLD as far as I'm concerned) Austin, TX BBQ (second places-ish with other Texas joints) and Kansas City BBQ (always fighting for the top spot)... Once you've experienced Nirvana it is hard to fall back to mere mortal morsels although if you put that BBQ meat in front of me when I'm hangry I will totally destroy it like a pack of lions or school of rabid piranhas as I'm all about a big pile of meat and my carnivore beast instincts will take over!!!

I loved this place so much!…read more It's quirky, it's nostalgic, it's fun. We were there for lunch, so no live music, but there is a full calendar of acts. The food was fantastic! The sweet potato casserole was the best I've had, and the potato salad was fully loaded. Loved the sauce varieties, and had the mud pie for dessert which was scrumptious. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Lots of seating, lots of parking, lots to do...gift shop, glamping, the bayou, and of course "the poo with a view", lol.

We'd heard so much about this place and couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment from the moment we walked in. The woman taking our order seemed irritated that we were asking questions about the menu. She wasn't friendly or welcoming at all. As for the food... save yourself the trip. It was so bad we threw almost all of it away. I didn't even think to take pictures because we were too shocked at how terrible everything was. We ordered a rack of ribs, brisket, and two sausages. Every single meat was extremely dry and overcooked. The ribs were so dry they felt like eating beef jerky covered in BBQ sauce. The brisket was the same--dry with BBQ sauce poured over it. The sausages were overcooked, dry, and honestly tasted more like Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage than barbecue. The sides were the only decent part of the meal. The mac and cheese was okay, but the collard greens were the standout. They were the only thing I actually finished. It honestly felt like everything was smothered in BBQ sauce to hide how dry and overcooked the meat was. Whoever is running the pit seriously needs to reevaluate the cooking process. We definitely won't be back. I only wish we'd kept driving and stopped somewhere else.

The food was UH-amazing (hope you're lucky enough to have the Reuben Eggrolls because it's a special item on the menu -- oh, and happy to report that we were so excited about the food, we dove right in and forgot to take photos). And the ambiance was perfect when you're hungry and looking for a nice clean place to feed your family and kids! The owner came by to check on us and my 4-year-old complimented his shirt, and he was kind enough to give her one! (Please don't go in there asking for a free shirt -- that's not the point of this review and we all know that small family-owned businesses absorb ALL the cost by themselves) Overall, we were pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed our meal at this adorable stop along the way!

Been wanting to stop in at Roger's and check them out for ages but always seem to have timing…read moreconflicts. I was finally able to make a point of making a special trip over there on a Saturday late afternoon. Unfortunately it still wasn't the best timing for a first trip or making a review as we were limited to what we could order based on the fact that their hours state they close at 5 but they shut the kitchen down at 4:30 and we got there just after 4. It's hard going out for dinner to a place that closes at 4:30. I ordered a sausage sandwich which to my delight was not the monotonous Conecuh. It was really good and reminiscent of some of the whole in the wall places in Texas that does good sausage. The only draw back was that being near closing time they didn't have links but was able to do slices. It was good but hard to eat. My hubs got chicken and ribs. I liked the ribs... they still had some bite, tender but not falling apart, and the smoke is mild, not overkill like so many other places do. Hubs wasn't a huge fan of but I thought they were nice. The chicken was on the dry side, but I never go to a bbq joint to order chicken so it's not a deal breaker for me. The only major downer was that all of our sides seemed to be standard pre-made and ordered items, not made in-house. I also liked the hole in the wall vibe, the friendly staff, and the divine smoke aroma that lets you know you're in the right bbq joint. All in all I enjoyed their Q and will need to go back when I can get the timing right to sample their steam table offerings.

Overall, I'd give the experience a solid 4 out of 5. The ribs were the highlight -- flavorful, tender, and had a satisfying bite without being fall-off-the-bone (which I actually prefer). They also gave a good portion, which made it feel like a great value. I'd rate them a 4.5/5 for sure. The sides were a bit underwhelming. The mac and cheese was decent but nothing special. The baked beans were flavorful but still tasted like they just added some onions and peppers to a can of beans. I'd give the sides a 3/5. Service was decent for a pickup order. The woman who took my call didn't sound particularly thrilled, but she got the job done efficiently. 4/5 for service. The ambiance, based on what I saw while picking up, fits the classic country BBQ vibe. Cozy and no-frills in a good way. Clean and authentic. I'd say 4.5/5. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the buffet next time. There's more on the menu I'm curious about.
