A bit of a hole in the wall joint. Clean but dated. Solid bar b que, but sometimes feel like cattle in line to the trough. "Next, whaddya have." "Next..."

Very quick service with very delicious ribs. Atmosphere was my least favorite part, but I would go back!

One of the best BBQ restaurants in Atlanta. There is not one bad thing on the menu. The chicken and the pork are my go to items.

Is it any pork in the rum beans

A Google User | Oct 22, 2018
Sandra Dean | Oct 22, 2018

I did not detect any, nor did I taste any RUM in them either! This joint has been systematically over time altering their "rum beans" recipe (cheaper) to the point there's none it them now. It also appears they may be under new management since their rib sandwich (for the last 1000 years) had always been trimmed to St. Louis style. NOW they include the rib tipped ends (untrimmed)!
