    Hands down best ribs I’ve ever had in my entire life!!! They were just falling off the bone delicious. You could eat them without sauce but if you happen to put their sweet sauce on them... just heavenly. The staff were some of the most welcoming group of people ever. I felt like I was at my grandparents home and I lived ever minute at this place. The beans were also delicious... oh and I loved the green beans. Next time I want to try the okra. Thanks again for a great meal... see you guys soon.

    We had a party for my Dad’s 90th birthday and got food from this place. Everything was great! The order was accurate, it was ready when we went to pick it up, and it was delicious! Spot on Frank! Everyone at the party loved everything! Will definitely order again!

    Quite e delicious chopped brisket sandwich. I was on the go and needed a quick lunch. Drove by this spot and hung a U-turn to check it out. Three people in line ahead of me. Several regulars and another customer trying it out for the first time. The kids working the counter were very friendly and efficient. The man on the knife at the cutting board did a brilliant job of cutting and chopping the perfect ratio of bark, lean and fat meat into a handful to build my sandwich. Fabulous smoke flavor on the beef that was moist enough it didn’t even need the sauce. Although I found the “original” sauce too good to pass up after I tasted it I had to add to the sandwich. A perfect balance of acidity, sweetness and spicy heat. Highly recommended. I want to go back to try the whole menu. Especially the baked potato that looks incredible.
