Oh em gee! This is my new favorite BBQ! Our first time so we tried a bunch of things. Brisket and reg sausage plate w/ green beans and potato salad. Brisket is flavorful and oh so tender! The sausage was a bit dry and pepper forward as were the green beans. The potato salad isn't bad but pretty basic, blank canvas if you will. Smashed potatoes with mayo. I squeezed pickles for juice and a little salt. I liked it. Also had burnt ends and pork ribs w/ cucumber salad and Mac salad. The burnt ends are not your traditional BBQ sauce smothered and basted but so very good anyway! Their brisket bark is so flavorful! I usually don't use BBQ sauce but I tried it and it's good too! It's not pepper forward like just other places. The ribs are tender and fell clean off the bone! The cucumber salad is a hefty serving, the pasta salad is good but is heavier on mayo than I'm use to, I didn't mind it. The plates come with pickles, onions, two slices of bread and small cup of sauce. An extra cup was requested at no additional charge. We will definitely be back!! I need to try the Dino rib but they were sold out.

Since my favorite bbq spot was closed I decided to try this place. Looked promising but the ratings. I got a brisket sandwich with macaroni and sweet tea. I wish I had taken a pic. The brisket had no smoke flavor or a pink ring that you get from smoking meat and even looked unappealing. It tasted like it was oven baked brisket. At least it was super tender. The Mac was good and the sweet tea was on point. I was just disappointed in paying that price for tasteless meat. Service was good though

Drove into the parking lot to make sure the patio was dog friendly. The owner was sitting on the patio with his dog so we had the pleasure to be able to visit for awhile. He even filled the dog bowl with fresh water for Matt the dog. Considering how windy it was we chose to sit inside. Al, the owner felt bad we were putting Matt in the car so he made up a small bowl of brisket so Matt would feel like he was not left out. Wow, such a nice gesture. We ordered a 3 meat plate, brisket which was 3 very nice slices, large jalapeno sausage and 2 large pork ribs. Brisket was mouth melting and was still firm with a nice smoke taste and ring. Sausage was very a nice smokey taste that enhanced the jalapeno taste. Pork ribs were also very nice tender, notable piece of meat. Potato salad was very good and the slaw had a perfect amount of mayo. Vic had the beet and pea salads. The food was very good and I got full up and am having my leftovers for dinner tonight. And Al made sure we left with a little take out bag for Matt. Very nice of him. I highly recommend. PS. I forgot to order the banana pudding. Damn.

Best bbq I have had in a very long time. From the moment my friends and I walked in, friendly service, fresh lemonade, cute cool decor throughout, and the food was AMAZING. If you want to take a drive through country roads, eat deliciously smoked brisket and ribs, homemade sausage, nachos, delicious mac and cheese, and delectable dessert, Stop by, say hi to owners Tracy and Allen, who were working hard getting orders out, maintaining a clean dining area, and conversational with all customers. Come out and try it! you will not be disappointed!!

Pretty good BBQ! The Mac and cheese was spiral rotini, which we really liked. The meats were moist and tender. I especially liked the Turkey. My only criticism is that I feel the BBQ sauce to be a bit thin for my liking, but it was still tasty. We will definitely return.
