This is my 2nd time coming here. First time they were out of almost everything. Ended up getting the wings (great) was asked if I wanted a roll and received hot dog buns instead. However, today I went and got the tips family meal and the rib family meal. When ordering, the lady asked if I wanted roll or cornbread, got the cornbread. Turns out it was 1.75 extra with each meal, didn't know it was extra until I got the receipt. I brushed it off. Got the food home, and plate made..... The Mac n cheese was just yellow, greens had no seasoning, the baked beans were nasty. The green beans were amazing. The tips and ribs had no smoke ring and tasted like jerky. I feel like the smoke flavor was from liquid smoke instead of the actual smoker. No sauce was even offered. The only thing that wasn't a disappointment today was the cornbread and green beans. I only give 2 stars for that reason. Customer service was meh each time. Spent 75.00 on food only to be completely unsatisfied.

I was hopeful because we always see this place busy but we were not super impressed. The chicken and mutton was dry, but had a good light smoke flavor—as opposed to a heavy smoke flavor like some other bbq places or what I get at home. We expected the rib tips to be a bit more firm than other smoked meats, but they were actually tough and hard to chew. The turkey ribs were good, but cannot hold a candle to Shack In The Back. Corn bread was good but not great. Red beans and rice were mostly untouched by any smokiness (or really any other flavor). The green beans did taste like my grandmas, but that is to say that they came from a can and were seasoned little then left to cook until needed. The result was uniform bits of overcooked mushy green beans. The cabbage casserole was interesting and i will add it to my very short list of foods that are not enhanced by the addition of cheese. Overall, not as impressed as I have been at even Famous Dave’s. That is regretful.

I just stood in there for 45 minutes to get a pulled pork sandwich and baked beans. As you can see both are in containers. If you are going to serve like this then it should only take 2-5 minutes at the most. You just lost a customer today. That review was for the wait. Now, the pork that I received was VERY DRY the extra bbq sauce could not save it. I have never been to a bbq restaurant that doesn’t serve sides with the meals (onions, peppers, or pickles) FREE. I threw most in the trash my $14.00 down the drain. It should not matter the day of the week. I saw at least 6 people working and I know it takes more but they have to step their game up and work!!! On the bun or not the pulled pork should not have been served and the bun was one step from being in the trash(as you can tell from the picture). But, all in all I’m not a fan of the food I received or the customer service. So, off to find me a new BBQ RESTAURANT!!!

So everything was good as far as I was concerned like really I went there and I had never even heard of turkey ribs, which I would truly recommend if you stop doing you see that on the list. Everything was good as well season it was cooked through I got the fried okra. It wasn’t soggy. It was good. The only reason I didn’t give him a five because they said it was eggs the potato salad and there was no eggs in my potato salad and that kind of not that I think about it kind of pisses me off however, I definitely earned this full star and I can’t wait to eat there again. I just won’t order the potato salad because it doesn’t have eggs in it or if it does have eggs in it, I will tell them hey can you make sure I got eggs in my part of potato salad that you gave me because I’m thinking if you put eggs, potato salad, it would be throughout it so if you only put eggs on a certain spot, they know if I asked you about the eggs it makes makes sense when you scoop it you would give me the type of part that has cause I’m obviously into eggs, potato salad, like I don’t like a potato salad reminds me of the store potato salad don’t put eggs in the store, potato salad because of the fact that it goes bad faster so they said it was made fresh deli is it May 1 deal or you get to go fast I don’t know is my first time going there but I would definitely...

The lady behind the counter was not really friendly so it was a turn off since that is the first encounter when a guest visits. We had the burnt ends sandwich with baked beans & hashbrown casserole. Although the sandwich was drenched in greasy sauce, the burnt ends were awesome as well as the beans. The hash brown casserole had an overwhelming flavor from whatever the green spice was so I wasn't a fan. The brisket platter was cut too thin, dry and lacked deep flavor you hope to have with brisket. No sauce was provided on the tray or in the meat at all so we did have to ask a man to get us some, he was very nice! Brisket seemed like it was older and reheated so we were highly disappointed since the meal was 19.99, we did get it with collards and okra and both of those were good. The cornbread was good too. For the price of our lunch we were disappointed, especially in the brisket since we couldn't even eat half of it. May return for the burnt ends (and request the grease drip out or bread on the side) if we are in that area of town but if you like brisket, I do not suggest trying it here as you will be disappointed. Giving 3 stars bc the burnt ends bring...

I spent $62 for two rib dinners(why the hell didn’t I just turn around and walk out after that price🙄) but I was there and the place smelled good and “hickory Smokey” so I thought I would go ahead and purchase. Also it was $8 extra for baby back ribs???? It’s funny that when I heard the total, I said to the cashier “This had better be good for that price” Well……….it WAS NOT!! The ribs had zero smoke flavor and looked like they had been boiled first then cooked. They did fall off the bone though but not from any hickory smoke!! If it wasn’t for the sauce, I wouldn’t taste any smoke flavoring at all!! Hickory smoked ribs should taste “Smokey” NOT “porky”!!! I know….I used to work in a Real Hickory Pit BBQ restaurant years ago!! The “baked beans” tasted like pork and beans with bbq sauce. I was very disappointed. You won’t see me again!! Whatever happened to the split between this place and Bootleg Barbeque, y’all need to reconcile and let the Bootleg people show you how to smoke some ribs!!! F++ If gas wasn’t high and I wasn’t hungry, I would have taken this right back and demanded my money back! This is NOT real...
