Loved it! I give it 5 stars! Stopped in for lunch and I'm glad I did. I had the smoked chicken breast sandwich and beans. Yummy! I'll be back soon!

Chopped sandwich was soggy and it looked like someone sat on it. It was squashed. Don't eat the potato salad it's a lot like cottage cheese. The flavor was not too bad though.

This very small portion was $26 bucks. The brisket had no flavor. The rib was cold and a little chewy. The sides were ok, but nothing really worth coming back for. I've eaten BBQ all over and this was by far the smallest serving for the money I've seen. Will not make the mistake of wasting my money here again.

It was ok. Not a fan of $50 dollars for 2 people to be just ok. Mac and cheese was soupy, macaroni salad was great, potato salad was mushy, and the pickle and mustard was too strong and overpowering. The brisket was a 7 out of 10. Ribs were a 9 out of 10. Unfortunately the free Dos Equis was out but they did serve complementary homemade ice cream. Will probably skip next time.

We stopped here one time before on our way up to Colorado and decided to stop in on our way back home. Down home cooking, delicious smoky chopped BBQ, and their fried catfish is cooked when ordered. Lightly battered and fried, it is my favorite here. Love their coleslaw and homemade tartar sauce, too! Husband ordered a chopped BBQ sandwich which was sweet and smoky with hand cut French fries, all very tasty. Then the final delight is their homemade ice cream. Tastes like the snow cream my mother made when l was a child many, many years ago, brought back a lovely memory for me. Be advised that they are closed on Monday. This is a gem of a place for me. Hope you'll like it too!
