The mustard BBQ sauce is to die for. I had a rib plate with cole slaw, baked beans and a sweet tea. Get some lemon cake to wash it all down and somewhere comfy to take a nap afterwards.

The best barbecue, chop weiners and hot dogs in town. There are also several other delicious items on the menu.

Small place that doesn't look like much on the outside but they have delicious food. We were there on the last day of our trip, wish we would have found it sooner. Excellent food at a great value.

As soon as you walk in, the smell of the BBQ hits you in the best way. I had the pork shoulder and wings, and they didn't disappoint! The Keylime cupcake is amazing too! I'll definitely be back again and again.

I'm ready for a nap. I'm full to the brim yall. I had a pulled pork sammich with slaw on the side. Thank you, Greg. He said, oughta try it. And I did. I will never have pulled pork undressed again. I loved it. Did I say this one sammich got me stuffed. My hubby had the bbq dog. Oh yall, he's ready for nap time, too. They were both piled to the max with meat. The price is right. Maybe a little low for them portions were getting. It's small it's a pickup only. It's hittin all the right points. We will return. They have Miss Nana. Miss T and Greg. Come on come in. Say hi. Eat. Then sleep.

The only issue was keeping myself from jumping over the counter and stuffing my face like a maniac. The smell was wonderful, people nice and food was fantastic. I opened the box and was thrilled with the amount of food. Then I noticed the 2nd layer of ribs and almost cried tears of joy. I might have to move here
