I have very disappointed and let down. I will never visit this place again. I am self proclaimed BBQ Connoisseur. My family is know to travel from state to state just for BBQ. I recently moved to Florence to give the local food a try. I have attempt to be patron of this establishment prior to this day.The first time the didn't have any ribs so we assumed it was hour and half to closing so out of assumption we thought it was a busy day. 2nd time, no ribs and this was noon. The guy in back so come back tomorrow. I was upset so I decided to give another try a couple weeks later. Before noon this time I tried the guy in the back says every time yall come we don't have any. I refused to go back but my friend say ill go pick some up but i will call this time. A lady answers and says yes we have some. He asked can we order a couple plates, we are ten minutes away. He goes into the store in 20 minutes later He returns to the car with the plates. Told me it took long due the lady couldn't get them on plate and microwave failed. I get some the food is dumped in and cold. Who makes cole slaw with mustard peppers and vinegar. Ribs taste like vinegar. Some part tender some hard like it was oven baked not grilled or smoked. If you people here in Florence love this place you need to get some new taste buds. The food is horrible just like their service.

Great bbq sandwich with hot slaw. Sides were delicious too. I would highly recommend

Horrible! no seasoning on Barbecue ribs the sauce was sweet with plenty of sugar no real flavor I was so disappointed.....they really need to improve.....

I love love love this place thier always so friendly and affordable for a large family like mine thier slaw dogs are probably the best I've ever had not slimy or nothing thier BBQ is amazing and always has an amazing smoked flavor never dry and never slimey either a small business that I'll proudly support until they give me a reason not to thank you for everything

First time here, stopped in to get my grandmother a meal (she is 100 and used to go there with my grandfather many years ago) anyway, she enjoyed her sandwich and the potato salad. Very nice people working there as well!

Fantastic food at a great price. Love the pulled pork sandwich with mild slaw.

Best bbq in town really enjoyed it.

Ribs were tasty. But I think I ate to much. The staff made me feel at home.

Awesome food, if you're in the area you have to check out this spot.

Only place we eat bbq from and the best slab of ribs.
