We stopped here after dropping calves off at sale barn... and it was so good!! We had the brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and sausage.. all excellent! The beans were very tasty, and the potato salad was definitely homemade! And get cakes for dessert!! Super friendly and great atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Great bbq restaurant. We stopped by on our way from Oklahoma. Brisket was our favorite. Corn bread were tender and not too sweet. The different pickles and candies jalapeños were a very nice compliment. Don't forget the dessert. Excellent hospitality and clean bathrooms.

Nice quaint country setting kinda off the beaten path. Had the brisket and spicy pinto beans with homemade country cornbread. Beans are top notch and goes well with mini cornbread. Brisket had a nice smoke ring and was not dry. Had just the correct amount of fat and moisture. For drinks, look to Mexican Coca-Cola or Dublin sodas all made with real sugar. If you travel near Bowie, take the short drive to stop in and grab a nice meal.
