The place smells so good when you walk in like a sweet smokey bbq smell. Had been wanting to try them and glad I did. I got DDs special potato and a side of mac n cheese. Both were so good. The brisket and mac together was even better! The sweet tea was very good just the right amount of sugar. Will def be back! sidenote ( I added the green onions at home for they don't carry them)

Only visited here to see a friend. Never tried the food or anything. Nice place. Clean. The second room where the band played was nice. If I go back again and try the food and like it. I may give 5 stars.

Dear Alief, please eat here. Keep in mind this is a brand new restaurant, so of course there are some kinks to work out, but the BBQ is what matters, right? We had ribs and brisket (both moist and smokey), fries, potato salad (tasted like home), green beans (AMAZING) mac and cheese (good, but the pasta was a little soft and needed salt). The sauce tasted homemade for sure. To the reviewer who said it tasted like warmed up Kraft, can you please tell me which flavor so I can buy some? The restaurant looks more like a lounge on the inside, which was a nice surprise considering it is attached to a gas station. Yes, it was slightly pricey, but still less than you'd pay for Papa's or Good Co. The portions were bigger too. Service was friendly and attentive. We will be back!
