I travel for a living, I'm from North Carolina. I love Lexington (NC) style BBQ and I love ribs.
These ribs were better than the rbs from St. Louis! Pulled pork is just as good and smoky as NC! And the smoked turkey was the best turkey I have ever had! Ever! The greens were amazing too!
Highly recommend this palce! (Im in town for 4 nights and ill probably order again lol)

Im from near Kansas City, where our BBQ has a reputation. This is a VERY close competitor. Meat is flavorful and generously portioned. The collard greens and potato salad were delightful- and I'm picky on those. They fall short on the baked beans tho. I grew up on beans and weanies and these taste very similar. Overall, next time Im truckin thru, I'll be getting this again!!

The pulled pork was delicious. The sausage was so flavorful. The portion size was honestly so much that we had leftovers. The mac & cheese & cheesy corn were so good. I honestly can't think of a single negative. It's going to be a staple whenever we make trips to Arkansas.

By far my favorite for lunch or dinner. The ribs are really good and have a good amount on the bones.
The Pulled Chicken Plate is really good too. It's nice having it already pulled!
The pulled pork is great too. Flavorful and not dry at all. Enjoy!

Plenty of tender juicy meat. Large sides compared to other places. Great flavor in everything. The turkey and the corn were especially good. ....But I ordered sweet bbq sauce. What I got was not sweet and did not taste good at all. Thankfully the meats were good on their own without sauce.
