A pretty good barbeque joint. Kid friendly. Speedy service. Very close to home. Prices are a bit high. Atmosphere is pleasent.

Best BBQ around, hands down! Consistently good!

Their food is trash!!! I’m not sure how they have stayed in business. Their twice baked potatoes taste old, the bank beans taste like they were made with ketchup and the brisket is like limp bacon….not to mention it is way over priced. SAVE YOUR MONEY!! I will never eat there again!! Yuck ?

It saddened me and my family to get an experience as such from a local favorite and well known BBQ restaurant. This place has been an iconic destination point for all families that want the best foodie experience... there's been a lack of experienced staff members and services. As a former waitress i disagree w the tip policy used for the restaurant and Their standards of service is appalling to say the least... unfortunately overall the ingredients and recipe of this spot has been abused for the worst. The food is missing and not even edible to eat. The ONLY reason I am still giving it a 2 star rating is bc all in all the place did have a great impact on the whole local BBQ culture and I think/hope it's still not too late for the restaurant to be brought back to its original state...

First time, will not be the last. Food was so good and the service, above excellent. I can recommend the ribs or chicken, perfection. And to top off your meal a Lindor chocolate. Amazing place

First time eating here in a very long long time. The food was phenomenal! We had the combo which came with three meats and 2 sides. The twice baked potato was the best I've ever eaten.

I had a three-meat combo of sliced beef, brisket and grilled chicken. The brisket looked just like the sliced beef, which was like deli beef, not what I was looking for. Neither had the most desirable taste. The chicken, on the other hand, is really good. Their regular sauce is decent. On the table is what they call a hot sauce, which has a little kick. If you order dessert up front, they hold it until you finish your meal. Their cobbler is special. The place looks nice and homely.

This place use to rocket it with great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Tonight the food was terrible, baked beans tasted like sweet tomato sauce, chopped pork was tough and in square cubes. Seriously disappointed!!!! The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars is for the waitress, and good service.

Absolutely LOVED our experience here. The owner even came by & had a long conversation with us. The service is awesome, & the CATFISH (Catfish? Yes, I said catfish... served a BBQ joint? Yep!) is some of the best we've ever had. Thank you Jerry Neels for an awesome meal, we will be back!

Food tasted AMAZING ...friendly staff...reasonable wait time for food...reasonably priced food
