DELICIOUS BBQ! Thank you so much Paw Paw! We had a wonderful time at Solid Rock Ranch anticipating the catering presentation — a true country BBQ experience as we rushed up to your trailer to pick up our dinner!!! Thank you for being so accommodating! (Very reasonable pricing too!) Loved the chicken and ribs!

My wife and I decided to go here for an impromptu lunch date and were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the owner and his amazing food skills. He had just made up a new concoction and asked if I'd like to try it. The concoction was a smoked pork chop on a bun with all the fixings, including a new sauce that he had come up with. My wife ordered some fried catfish and fries. Let me just say that the pork chop literally melted in my mouth, and the sauce completed the dish. The fried catfish was tender, flaky, and also paired well with that sauce or the tartar. The owner chatted with us for quite a while, which made our outing even better. Thank you, Paw Paw, for a truly awesome meal and conversation. May God bless you, your place, and your patrons. We'll be back.

What a hidden gem! We randomly stumbled upon this place in the middle of nowhere. To our surprise what a great find!Paw-Paw has been running his restaurant because he loves cooking and eating.We ordered ribs and chicken wings. I have to say them wings are probably one of the best wings I've ever eaten. Simply delicious. The ribs are also very soft and juicy.Thank you for treating my family with such good food and hospitality.
