Today we ordered two 3 meat dinners, both were a disaster, it was delivered fully covered in bba sauce from top to bottom with a big puddle at the bottom. Im surprised by the amount of good reviews on here, perhaps things have changed from Covid like some other places. Ribs were one of my choices, the meal came with one single rib. The ribs were seasoned well but quite tough. I ordered beef, it came chopped and was thoroughly dry, I gave it to my dog who loved it though. The chicken was ok but the other meal ordered white meat and it came all dark, she wont eat dark meat. We were also shorted large sides of sauce we paid for. We got Mac and cheese as 2 of our sides, the noodles were overcooked and the sauce had broken from being overcooked as well. All in all this was a terrible experience, there are plenty of places that are better for the money, save your and avoid this place.

I purchased a kids meal well done sausage. When I arrived at work the outside was done but the inside wasn't. I called and spoke with a young man that said he been cooking since he was 10. I told him my break was over and could they take my name and give me a replacement sandwich on tomorrow. The guy told me to bring the sandwich so he could inspect it. This is poor service 😞

When you pull into a BBQ restaurant and see a gigantic pile of firewood sitting on the side of the building you get a feeling that this might be a good place. IT WAS. The meat hade a great deep wood smoke flavor. The sauces were good to but the meat really did not need them. My sides were also good. If I was not from out of town I would definitely be going back. Highly recommended.
