Had the 3 Meat Plate (PICK 3+2 SIDES + 1 DESERT). Meat was very good and the brisket very tender. The coleslaw was delicious and the smoked Mac and cheese was pretty good. Generous portions and definitely not as expensive as other BBQ establishments. Will be a repeat diner.

You get very generous portions, both sida and mains, and just about everything I've tried is something I would happily order again. The Mac and cheese is smokey a delicious, the sauce that comes with the sausage is excellent, and the chicken and brisket just melt in your mouth. definitely a favorite lunch spot for me!

The 2 meat plate I had featured perfect, succulent, juicy brisket, smoky, savory chicken and homemade mashed potatoes, rich sweet beans, all complemented with old fashioned, smooth banana pudding. Many more sudes--I want to try them all. I'd like to try the ribs and pork, too, but not sure I can give up reordering that perfect brisket!

Lots of bbq for a good price. The pulled pork and sausage are my favorites and the Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes are home made. Plates also come with banana pudding. I eat from here a lot
