I went there mid-afternoon and tried to ordered their sausage and the cashier told me they didnt have any. I asked if they had fries, he told me "we dont do fries". I ended up ordering the pulled pork, which was very greasy and dry, corn bread, which was hard and their mac and cheese which was decent- not good but decent. Their BBQ sauce was watered down and didnt taste like BBQ sauce. My total came out to be $9 and some change, I tried paying and the cashier told me there was a $10 minimum if I wanted to pay with my debit card. For $10 the portions arent even worth it!!! I was very upset that I paid $10 for what I received. Never recommending this place. For being my first time- I will never go there again.

I got the pork and ribs combo dinner with sides of mac and cheese, baked beans, and an extra side of collard greens. I got the hot sauce for the meat. First, both the ribs and pork were pretty good. The "hot" sauce was not hot in my opinion, but the flavor was good. Ribs were superior to the pork and cooked just right. Mac and cheese was surprisingly bland. The beans and collard greens very good though. I could taste a very light touch of brown sugar in the beans (but not too much). They were more dry than watery, which is how I like them. Collards had some pieces of pork in them to add flavor, which I also liked. Negative would be that the portions were too small.

I called from long distance in desperate need of a caterer to provide food for friends fathers funeral. Although the service was an hour away. The owner Mark made it work. He was thorough, kind and just a delight. God will put special people in your life for the small and the big things. If their food is half as good as the owner (and I am sure it is) you should make this a must stop and eat whenever in the area. Thank you ...Thank you!

My family & I decided to grab dinner from this spot tonight for the first time and... MY GOODNESS! The ribs (and rib tips) were DELICIOUS. The BBQ sauce --- delicious. The sides were tasty, also --- especially the cole slaw. We got there about 25 minute before they closed, so I questioned what the quality of food would be; I didnt want "bottom-of-the-barrel." It was far from that. We will definitely be returning.

I went there today for something cheap to eat and I have wanted to try them since I saw their sign that says $1.99 pulled pork sandwich with purchase of a large drink. I got the pulled pork sandwich, macncheese and a sweet tea. The sandwich and mac n cheese was very good. All I have to say is to pass up a small local restaurant b/c of how it looks, they might turn out to be great!

Although the staff is incredibly nice and accommodating, the food is the real star! Their ribs are so moist and juicy, not to mention the collards and Mac and cheese are cooked to perfection. If you are craving some good southern bbq this tucked away gem is the spot.

Great find - this family owned BBQ pit is a great place for a pick-up order. The collards were amazing, the mac&cheese was comforting, and the pulled pork sandwich was good and messy! Only suggestion - seating would be nice outback for folks who wanted to eat there.

Keep it up please! Customer service is great and the bbq chicken is very tender and juicy. The collard greens ... Oh my goodness! Out of this world. Down south good old home cooking at its finest!!! And yes I like my chicken like I like my men... Spicy!!!

Went there for their BBQ chicken special. Went there early because I wanted the freshly cooked chicken. That is not I got. The chicken was dried out, and it tasted like the BBQ sauce was plopped on the chicken. The sauce was overly sweet. One and done.

Great BBQ—I’m new to Brandon and found this place by chance. The food is delicious, the ribs are tender and juicy and the sides perfectly cooked. Great collard greens, creamy cole slaw. Best of all the price is very affordable.

I remember when this restaurant first open and the BBQ is still banging. Thanks so much for staying true to real BBQ. Blessings to the young man that served me on that rainy day, he was very kind and pleasant.

I was hosting a party and decided to give this a try. My guest were very happy with the taste of the food and even asked for the address. Ribs were meaty and moist and o enjoyed the chopped pork mostly.

Went to the restaurant recently really enjoyed the customer service the owners and their children speak to you as if they personally know you. THE FOOD is down right good. Best bbq I had in a while.

First time there was very clean and the guy working the counter was extremely nice and friendly. Was immensely impressed with all the food: quality, quantity and flavor for a decent price.

Had a half slab of ribs here recently. They were chewy, and lacked flavor. Low and slow was not on the menu that day I guess. Would have prefered a St. Louis style trim also.

It was my first time. Sadly my last. The meat was dried out and hard to chew. It looked as though the two chicken breasts were cut out of one breast. Im disappointed

Black staff refused to serve a white customer, claimed they were out of BBQ and could not tell me when they would have meat ready...
