This place is FIRE. The extra hot chicken is genuinely spicy, it made me sweat and I have a high tolerance for heat. The fries and beans are delicious, the Mac n cheese isn’t too bad (but I’ll be honest, I’ve had better). The staff are real cool too, and super friendly. They can be busy sometimes (speaks volumes to how good the food is) so it might be best to order ahead so you reduce your wait time.

So the chicken and wings were so good we ate it before I remembered to take a picture. This is some of the best chicken I have ever eaten. We got the medium heat and was seasoned perfect. We even made a special trip from Shepherdsville to Louisville to get it. The Mac n cheese and baked beans were very good too.

The best smoked wings I've ever had! The gentleman running the front of the house was very helpful and did a great job explaining the menu!

Honestly, THE BEST pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. The green beans and fries were amazing also. This food will make you tongue wanna beat your brains out its so good ? and the staff was super nice also. Just an overall great experience.

Great menu. Unique selections with local theme. The regular hot chicken Tenders made for a great sandwich with very good, but not too much heat. The baked beans were pretty much standard and forgettable. The smoked wings were fantastic. The only downside was that even though there are a couple of picnic tables outside, there was no restrooms for patons.

The food was delicious and staff was friendly. The food is cooked to order. There is seating outside and the wooden benches weren't too sturdy, they moved quite a bit. We ended up going back to the car to eat because the benches did not feel safe. Parking isn't the best but the food and service are great.

The have the best rub that I have ever tasted, they don't have ribs but they have amazing brisket and pulled pork. The baked beans and mac n cheese were also amazing. Looks are very deceiving, if you don't stop here then you are losing a true BBQ experience.

VERY FRIENDLY AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD ALL THE WAY FROM DALLAS TEXAS

Was craving some really good chicken and this place had good reviews. Let me just say they are well deserved. I got the spicy chicken sandwich with Mac n' cheese and Coleslaw. My fiancé got the large dark meat plate with green beans and Mac n' cheese.Portions were big and everything was so delicious! Will definitely be back!

Yum,the chicken fingers were very tasty. I got the less heat and I could handle it with no problems. I probably could have had the hot. The dipping sauces are great - the Mississippi something-or-another (I an’t remember) had a bit of a kick and the Alabama white bbq was tangy and delicious. The slaw was great but the”crispy” wedges were a bit not crispy but still good.
