Came here with wife and another couple. The place was clean and had a nice lobby area separate from the dining area. The service was quite fast.
(disclaimer: I am not a foodie, nor am I from the American South, though I have had amazing BBQ in Oklahoma)
I ordered the KC ribs and also tried the pulled pork and brisket. I ordered southern greens, texas beans, coleslaw, and fries as sides. Overall, it was really good and I would recommend this place.

Atmosphere was kind of like home too. This place is an oasis if you're an American that has been in China a little too long. Go get a beer and some Q. .... Still blown away by how cool it was to see Elgin, TX on a menu in...

Ordered: 🔻 full slab of Memphis ribs - fantastic, spicy dry rub. Ask for the "6-pack" of sauces; they're killer too. 🔻 potato salad + carolina vinegar slaw sides - both were delicious and I appreciated that they were NOT mayo-based. I demolished the potato salad and could have easily had more!
Bucket of Beers (HH) + Full Slab = ~$65 USD. Premium...
