    Large portions of great BBQ in a fun, lively atmosphere. Plenty of leftovers for you lunch the next day (yay!). Everything was good from the service to the food. Our only real complaint was there were some items served that were very spicy and it was not mentioned on the menu, which meant we bought something we could not eat. We will definitely come back, everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.

    My husband’s beef brisket was dry. He stated he’s had better at Southern Pig and Cattle than here. But the sides were good. My shrimp and grits were flavorful. A little heat, a little tang to it. I had the sweet potato mash. It was good, like a dessert. Ambience…..it was a little too dark where we were sitting at a table on the floor. Booths around the perimeter had a lot more lighting to them. A small table light would have helped.

    Everything was great, the service was great our server David was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious and worth the price. The only thing is it got a little loud but it's going to be if it has a bar inside. Also it was so dark inside. Lol the lighting was so dim some people Including my mom used her phone flash light to see the menu. Lol other then that it was great!

    Our server (Eddie)was terrific--fast, knowledgeable and attentive. Meats were delicious BBQ (brisket, pulled pork and pit smoked chicken) while the creamy slaw and seasoned green beans were very tasty. The house salad left a bit to be desired while the baked beans were too sweet for our tastes. Mojo salad and pulled pork sandwich were equally good. The place was very busy and noisy but had an ole' south barroom charm if there is such a thing!!!! Would return.
