Great atmosphere too, plenty of good natured banter behind the counter, and genuine concern that you get a really, really good meal at an exceptionally fair price. Want barbecue, you gotta stop in and see Ken and the big hearted crew, once you do you'll get hooked on Hooks just like me! Delicious!

Hidden inside an unassuming strip mall/parking lot awaits some of the best high-quality BBQ ever!…read morePhenomenal ribs were heavenly smoked (was that hickory and oak?), perfectly seasoned, and adorned with an immaculate bark. The ridiculously succulent, juicy, and mouth-watering brisket was over-the-top absurdly delicious. Sides sampled were the ethereal smoked baked beans (what magic created that incredible tang finish?), and the incredible garlic mashed potatoes, so tasty--how could mashed potatoes be that good my head is spinning. But wait! The coup de grace is the constellation of amazing sauces, each one better than the next. We tried a bunch including: Sweet Smoke, Bourbon, Tamy Bite, Mango Hab, Kicking Cajun, Carolina. An absolute epicurean delight was dunking meat from one sauce to the next. What an experience! Highly recommended, can't wait to go back for more.

The service here is a little weird and jarring at first. I hadn't gone more than 10 feet through…read morethe door when I was asked "What'll you have to drink?" You just have to know the procedure, but it wasn't only me, a Northerner whose brain hadn't yet fully recalibrated for the local accent. Locals were confused too. Procedure is this: tell them your drink preference (I had water), pick up a tray, put it on the counter, pick out a main, three sides, a dessert, slide it down to the register, pay, and take it to your table. At that point do you begin eating? No! Remove your items from the tray and they come by and pick it up. Now begin! You may be thinking "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld but I assure you it didn't feel that way. Just the quirky way they run the place. The waitress did warm up after I was there a while, came over to ask where I was from, etc. And to try to convince me to come back for breakfast! This is cafeteria style, with everything prepared ahead of time and kept warm on steam trays. So how do they keep that fried chicken so crunchy and delicious? Perhaps the best I've ever had, the batter so crunchy you could probably hear me eating from another room, assertively peppery, the large leg and thigh pieces perfectly cooked and juicy. (White meat also available.) My sides were lima beans, turnip greens, and yams. The highlight was the yams: super sweet but not in a bad way, balanced by good seasonings. The beans were fine, a bit salty. The only disappointment were the turnip greens, too finely chopped and overcooked. The portion sizes were decent. Also included is corn bread. Two choices: baked or fried. Never heard of fried so I tried that. Interesting but a little chewy and not so much corn flavor; next time I'd get the baked. Finishing this rather large lunch was a challenge for me but I managed, while taking in the local ambience. I saved the dessert for later. Dessert? Yes. I was also asked on ordering what I wanted for dessert. The only one that appealed was the red velvet cake (the others were a cobbler and bread pudding) so I got that. I assumed it was included but when I paid I saw it was not. $4; no big deal. It didn't look that good, a thin 1 inch slice tightly shrink wrapped on a paper plate. Looks were deceiving. The first time I actually liked red velvet cake, a light crumbly texture and cream cheese frosting that tasted of more than sugar. With the amount of frosting this tiny slice was quite filling and I'm glad it wasn't larger. All this for a little over $21. I think this was including tip but I'm not positive. Either way, great deal!

From the outside, the restaurant looks run down but I was optimistic because most local food restaurants look like such. The outside was to be expected. We got a regular pork salad and pork nachos to go. This was all okay BBQ. I was a little disappointed because this restaurant was ranked on places to go on Yelp. The salad was store bought shredded iceberg lettuce, over pulled pork, shredded cheddar cheese and canned relish. There was nothing special. The pork was okay and the BBQ sweet sauce was probably the best thing about the meal. My boyfriend got the nachos and was equally disappointed because the nacho chips were those store bought football game nachos and cheese. The nachos came with pork and jalapeños. I had to ask for my receipt, service was slow, restaurant was not clean and I'm glad I got my food to go. Pro: The prices are great!
