Made my way here for lunch while passing through, and it was worth it. Brisket and ribs were great. Got there for a late lunch, so they were out of a few of the sides, get there early.

Very clean and homey atmosphere. Quick service, and courteous staff. Only one other person in line. Little to no wait time. At least four other locals came to eat while we were there, everyone looks very satisfied with their food. The meat was DELICIOUS and tender! The beans were amazing. The peach cobbler tastes like a homemade hug in a cup. It touched deeped down in the soul. The potato salad was creamy and dreamy. And the coleslaw, oh goodness!, the coleslaw deserves its own show. No regrets whatsoever! This is our spot now. We will drive 3-1/2 hours just to go to Nixon to spend our money here. Can't wait to come back. If you want the best BBQ for the best deal, no need to look elsewhere, come straight here!
