Brisket By The Pound - Absolutely terrific and great if you just want to throw a couple sammies together or add some great meat to a dish!
3 Meat - Great bang for your buck! I went with sliced brisket, ribs, and sausage. The ribs were smothered but you could tell they were patted down with a good dry rub beforehand. The Mac and cheese side is decent, and the fries were seasoned well.
I think I found my new favorite BBQ joint!

Amazing! Food was flavorful and ribs huge! So satisfied! Potato salad tastes homemade, collards were soulfully good and the HushpuppiesOMG!! Will mark this one as a favorite.

The food was bland...no seasoning and imo slightly overpriced for the amount that you get pertaining to the meat portions. This was my first time trying them and I was DISAPPOINTED to say the least. The sauce (they had on the side) and jalapeño cheddar sausage was good BUT the chicken, pork and ribs were overly cooked/dry.

3 meat meal is not what I would consider to be a "bbq plate". All the meats were chopped and over sauced. They were in these pieces of paper within the container. I really wanted to like the flavor as this is a local business but the only thing remotely edible was the sides. The Sweet Tea was not sweet. The Banana Pudding was tolerable but my family was not happy eating here.

The ribs were trash. $21 for the 2 Meat to get ribs x2 - got 4 ribs total, 2 of them inedible because they were untrimmed fat ends.
