“ The menu is amazing and the food is awesome! There were so many things to choose from...on my first visit I tried the sliced brisket and homemade sausage with the homemade hot sauce. Totally blew me away! The brisket was very tender and full of that smoked flavor as well as the sausage and when you add the hot sauce...Omg! On my second visit I tried the chopped beef...same results! I also tried the macaroni salad, potato salad, and collard greens as well as the peach cobbler and they were just as good. The service was awesome and they made recommendations on what to try. I will definitely be going back! ”

“ From a storm chaser that travels the whole state of Texas, this is hands down the best BBQ in the whole state. The brisket is tender and flavorful with a good bark on it. The homemade sausage was excellent. Awesome food and service. Highly suggest stopping here. I’ll be back the next chance I get! ”
“ This is what I want when I think country BBQ. You could tell everything was homemade and that they took a lot of pride and all the food that they'd made. The portions were big, the price was more than reasonable, and the taste was beyond. I'd drive 2 hours there and back for more. ”
