"Alyssa was nice and helpful, the food was fire and the prices were reasonable. Will be back in the future. Our hostesses, Daphney and Zoey were also super friendly and professional. Can't recommend this place enough. One of the best options in town."

"Honestly I would not have expected this place to be this good! The brisket is honestly one of the top 3 I’ve ever had. I had the marbled sliced cut(not that dry lean stuff that people who don’t know any better eat)! The smoke flavor and the crisp bark on the end pieces was to die for. The pulled pork(borrowed some from my wife) was equally as good with a great smoke flavor. Oh and did I mention the portions? Well let’s just say they inspire the saying “southern hospitality). You won’t be leaving hungry. Our server was Jessica. I am very picky about service and have very little patience for poor service. That was never an issue here. She was absolutely friendly, honest, attentive, and knowledgeable and a great reflection of this establishments background of being a family owned business."
