Well there’s a lot to be desired with our service and food. We went here on Nov. 13 @ 530. I’ll start with the 2 people who were at the register. The one taking our order had changed some items “to a combo” which means smaller sides. We had order regular sides as there were 6 of us so when we received the single serving of green beans and Cole slaw we were obviously confused. We did end up getting a full side serving of green beans however it had too much sodium and we didn’t eat it. I had noticed the Thanksgiving special they were doing. I asked about it, he looked at the sign by the register and said “it’s a special we are doing in 8 days”. I had pointed out to him that it says 8 orders left and nothing to do with days. He seemed clueless so asked the other guy at the register who didn’t know what this thanksgiving day special was about. Moving onto the food, in general it was ok. We ordered 1lb of pulled pork, 1/2 lb of chicken, 1/2 brisket, and 3 ribs, green beans, coleslaw, and fries. The green beans and the Memphis belle sauce at the table had way too much sodium. So much sodium the green beans were inedible, I can’t repeat this enough, too much sodium. The meat didn’t really taste fantastic. You could get the same meat at any general bbq place. My husband asked if there was a military discount and the cashier said no but he would give us a cobbler. We didn’t get the cobbler because when we picked up the food we were told there’s no free cobbler for military discounts. We drove 20 minutes to eat at this restaurant because of the reviews and we are left wondering how people are giving 5 stars. Sharing the thanksgiving sign at the door as I didn’t get a pic of the one at the register.

This place is by far the best BBQ place ever! Military themed and extremely military supportive- this shows throughout restaurant. Extremely friendly employees- THEY GO THE EXTRA MILE! You get a very welcome hello when entering! Your order is then at the register, menu on back wall. Find a seat (always clean tables!) and wait for your name to be called. Doesn’t take long for this deliciousness to get prepared. While you wait, enjoy the neat stickers and memorabilia around the restaurant. Incredible menu selection! Brisket, chicken, sausage, pork, turkey, salmon, Romano of ribs, rotating meats like prime rib and sirlion- even a cheeseburger! Salads available. Kids menu is just the same amazing food but slightly smaller portions. Portions are generous. Always hot, fresh, and delicious! They have an assortment of beverages, both bottles and fountain. Fresh brewed sweet and unsweet tea as well as lemonade. Rotating desserts on menu as well. Many sides to choose from -Mac and cheese, baked beans with brisket, and fresh cut fries to name a few. Did I mention they have a 6 pack of their original sauces on each table (which are all unique and a must try!) They also have an amazing mustard that pairs nice with the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Cornbread included, it’s 10/10. Most days there is a really cool military vehicle parked out front. TRY THIS PLACE YOU WILL NOT REGRET!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My girlfriend and I went here for lunch. There wasn't really a line so from the time we ordered to when we sat down with our food was only about 10 minutes. We both ordered "The meat sampler trio" It came with 3 meats and a piece of cornbread. I had Brisket, pulled pork and spare ribs (3) . You have to upgrade to a combo to get a side and a drink so I got the "brisket baked beans (that didn't appear to even have brisket in them and a soda (about $5 more) The brisket was tough and dry and had no flavor. The pork was kind of dry and also had no flavor. The ribs were over done and small but had the most flavor out of everything . My girlfriend had brisket, pulled pork and pulled chicken and her side was the mac and cheese. The brisket and pulled pork were the same as mine ,but the chicken was decent. It had some flavor. They have 6 different sauces to choose from we didn't like any accept 2 and she only liked 1 amd they were just ok, nothing special. I found myself swallowing it all down with my soda. I had 3 refills by the end of our meal. I love that it's all about our Vetrans, but that's about it. In all out meal cost about $50.00. Not worth it what so ever.
