The service was great and the customer service was good. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. The mac and cheese was very pasty and tasted like there was too much flour in the sauce. The beef strips in the mac bowl were overcooked, chewy and not much bbq sauce. The mac bowl with beef was $15.99, and I purchased two but couldn’t get through more than a few bites of the first one.
The coleslaw was good, but the baked beans tasted like plain canned beans with no added flavor. Additionally, the to-go packaging was very poor quality. By the time I got home about 30 minutes later the boxes were soggy and falling apart. The cardboard felt cheap and had started to break down, and my food nearly fell out when I opened it. Not sure if you can see how flimsy the box is in the photo
Overall, this place doesn’t give a backyard barbecue feel, and it honestly doesn’t feel like barbecue at all.

Stopped by for lunch, was greeted, and took my order quickly.
The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. The guy who took my order was pleasant with a positive attitude.
My Cuban came out quickly, all sandwiches are on pita bread, mine had ham, pulled pork, pickles slaw, and cheese. Great price at only $7. I will be back!!.

Fantastic food! Pulled pork with slaw was fantastic. I didn’t think I would like the flatbread for BBQ but it was actually really good! I’ve had true southern BBQ several times in my life and while this isn’t quite the real deal it’s just about the best in this area. Service was quick and the worker was very friendly. On top of that, the price was 1/2 or less than an equivalent BBQ place around here. Will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Although the food was not great, it wasn’t terrible. What got me was the serving size and price. It doesn’t take a ton of food to satisfy me, which is fine that it was small. Just wish it was better. Chicken tasted sour, potato salad was good got very small amounts of both and it was close to $30

TLDR: Absolutely wonderful place to get some quick, tasty food!
While going on lunch one day, I was asking my coworkers for a nice option around, and one of them recommended this place! Best decision ever. It’s always an easy in-and-out when I order online, and the staff is incredibly friendly!! The place is always spotless, and right when I walk in the door there is usually someone there to help me. The prices, this day in age, are incredibly reasonable for what you receive. If you’re looking for a new place to grab something to eat, definitely add this one to the list of ones to try.

The Mac n cheese was incredibly overcooked to the point that the noodles were disintegrating into the velveeta cheese they were cooked in. The beans had to be from a can and the coleslaw had zero flavor. The sauce had very little taste but was the edible part of the experience. Wouldn’t recommend.

Medium and large Mac bowls were the same size. Mediocre flavor in the pork and beef unfortunately.

It was definitely a lot of meat for the price, but I have to admit to being a little disappointed when I opened the lid.
For starters it’s 2019 and no one should be serving in styrofoam; moreover, I didn’t get this to-go and it came on a food tray. I figured if I got some smoked meats it’d come out on a platter / tray and I’d actually be able to see all the effort that goes into truly making great smoked meats.
But I opened the lid and it was just three big piles of meat, each doused in bbq sauce. My guess is the meat was reheated on the flat top and rather than drying it out they heated it with sauce. But with brisket, I was hoping to see a nice smoke ring around the beef. It just resembled pulled beef. The chicken was by far the most disappointing. This was straight baked chicken breast (extremely dry) that had been cubes up and tossed in bbq sauce.
As another commenter mentioned, the sauce is a little too sweet. That in itself isn’t bad if you had other sauce options to counter the one offering. Perhaps a Carolina style mustard bbq or a sauce with some heat.
I don’t like giving a place a poor rating because it is someone trying to make a living. I think a little more attention to food detail and this place goes from OK to great. The space was cozy and clean, the staff was friendly enough.
I’ll come back again soon to see if things change.
