This was the worst food and worst service. I have never been to a BBQ restaurant that puts honey mustard on a smoked turkey sandwich. That makes no sense to me. The food was cold and they were "out of cheese." The waitress never asked how the food was or refilled drinks. The cashier got an attitude when we told her how we felt about our experience. NEVER GOING BACK!

Ive been to a lot of BBQ places all over the country. Had the pulled pork sandwich and 2 rib plate. For me, the sauce was too sweet. The mac and cheese was a bit runny and the okra was OK. If I were driving by again, I dont know that I would stop for it.

Incredible burgers! Homemade fried cooked to order! Tasty deserts! Mmmm Mmmm Good! Oh and the onion rings are delicious. Have eaten there for years. Never been interested in trying the bbq menu. Just fine with these items.

Service was excellent. Baby back ribs were the worst. Ive had "fall off the bone" and "pull off the bone". These were "securely attached to the bone". Oh, and the Miller High Life came with a plastic juice cup.

I enjoyed my smoked turkey sandwich and the onion rings were hot and crispy. My hubby didnt care for the pulled pork. But in defense of the restaurant, he takes medications that changes his taste buds.

Awful food!! Cashier was friendly, but the food was old, over priced, and nasty!! The Manager Had an attitude when I returned my food and wanted a refund!! My first experience was definitely my last.

One of my favorite places to eat. Love the vinegar based cole slaw, love the BBQ chicken sandwich. I can eat a good healthy meal without overdosing on fat. If I want to indulge, banana pudding!

It is the gold standard for BBQ joints. Been going there for years. Staff are all long time employees, and they treat you like family. Food is out of this world! I cant swing by there enough.

Went there because of the reviews. Dirty cups, dry and rubbery pork and chicken, ribs are hard and dry too. Cole slaw was OK. Potato salad pretty good. All in all, very very average.

This place has horrible barbecue, the ribs are not tasty and the turkey was cold and crappy like it was store bought. The sides was good. Service is less than desirable, needs training.

Very busy place. Just did not care for this style of BBQ. Ordered the baby back ribs. Tasted like they were flavored with a beef jerky flavoring. I prefer either Memphis or KC style.

their barbeque chicken is some of the best Ive ever tried. Their potato salad is also extremely good. A unique texture, but very tasty. I have no complaints to register so far

Great place. The people are friendly, the food is very good and its reasonably easy to get to. It can get busy but they seem to deal with it well.

Have been here many times over the years. This is old pit style Alabama Bbq. If you love Bbq with history give this a try. Food is always good.
