I love me some good smoked food. This place will definitely satisfy. There are a few things that need to be addressed. As you can tell from the menu this place ain't cheap. The portions you get is so so depending on what scale you're using to judge. Me I base it on other places I've been to. While the portions and pricing definitely don't match up in terms of value, the taste at least makes up a little bit of it. The brisket that ame with the CLASSIC PLATTER was a bit under portioned in terms of the cut. I've seen Brisket from top to bottom at least 2-3 inches tall while the thickness of the cut was good enough, also it was a bit on the dry side. The smoked beans and white cheddar mac was good to go, no issues there. Lastly, the *GARLIC & GREEN ONION SAUSAGE had a great flavor, but like the brisket it was a bit dry. not sure if it's the way they cut it after or if it was left in the smoker for too long but it was a bit on the dry side. Overall it was good. 4 stars for me.

My one piece ONE MEAT PLATTER was absolutely insane! The ribs are carefully basted with a sauce that gives it a light flavor with a touch of sweetness. I loved their ribs! Their sides are always good and the *RED BLISS POTATO SALAD is great except I add more mayo and some sugar. They give you 4 ribs and the portion will fill you up. My food is warm when I get it so I know the food is fresh.

The Burnt Ends are always exceptional every time I ordered them; they are cooked and seasoned to perfection, especially the pepper! I decided to try the **Beef Brisket, Sliced and wasn't disappointed! It was prepared perfectly and absolutely delicious!

The 2-Meat platter is usually enough for me to have two meals. I love the burnt end and ribs. They are my favorites. I've had the oxtails on Friday, and they are delicious!! The corn pudding and the pit-smoked beans are delicious - these are my favorites!

Food is delicious. Out of all the bbq places. This is the best place to get bbq. I had the sliced brisket and jalepanoe cheddar sausage. Both was juicy, not dry and had good flavor. Corn pudding was amazing. Loved it. Beans had great flavor. I would definitely recommend to eat or order out here.
