This is a small barbecue joint in a bit of a strip mall, but it's worth the stop if you're in the area. The meat was juicy (I had pulled pork and the brisket), the sides were tasty (be forewarned, the collards had hot pepper flakes in them without warning, which I enjoyed but if you're not expecting it...), and they have a nice selection of beer. I splurged a little and got the Brunswick stew, and it was quite tasty, with a little kick. I primarily dealt with one young lady behind the counter for ordering and delivery of my food, and she was very helpful and quite pleasant to deal with. This is the type of establishment that, in spite of its shopping center location, brings in regular customers - one of the folks behind the counter greeted a customer who came and sat at the counter by name, and seem to have an idea of what the customer regularly ordered. Overall, it was a really good experience, even if a tad bit more expensive than I had expected (But I also don't get out much, so maybe that's the only rate these days...). If you want to try two meats, and have a beer, expect to spend along the line of $35 or so, but it was yummy.

Had lunch here and was totally impressed. The brisket was juicy and the right amount of smoke. The burger was fantastic. Best collards I have ever had. This place has some of the best barbecue I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a lot. The Mac and cheese was very tasty and a generous serving.

Great casual setting with all the classic BBQ meats and sides. Love the collard greens, although they are spicey. My kid loves the Mac and cheese. They offer Broccoli as a healthy side. Good beer choices. Friendly staff.

Fantastic food. Buddy and I went in for lunch one day after work, spent a good little chunk of change, but kind of really good amount of food for it. Definitely recommend going here if you want some good authentic barbecue.

Just tried this place and it was awesome. The pulled pork was incredibly juicy and full of flavor. It had a good amount of bark. Their bbq sauces were awesome. The employees were very helpful and extremely kind and welcoming. The price of everything is what you would expect from a BBQ place. I will say this, with how good the food was it was worth every penny. If you stop in for a quick lunch a pulled pork sandwhich and 1 side will run you about 11 or 12 bucks which is a darn good price for the quality. I will be back for sure!

Food was good. Large portions, nice bbq atmosphere. Just a few issues, one of us had a bit dry brisket while the other was almost too fatty. Needed to add seasoning to most of it but overall good taste and service was great.

4th of July Lunch. They were already sold out of brisket, chicken and ribs - no doubt it was fantastic. We opted for the Smokehouse Salad with pulled pork, pulled pork sandwich, pork nachos, mac and cheese and sweet potato fries. All items were excellent and so much left over we have dinner and lunch tomorrow covered.

The pulled chicken sandwich was incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. Not dry at all. I got the collard greens as a side which were also great. Highly impressed. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back and have recommended to family/friends.
