Had opportunity to try this place out finally! Well worth the drive. Ribs and sauce were outstanding. Good smoke ring, perfect texture, hot and tasty! Pulled pork (tried with no sauce on top) was excellent southern style. Beans were sweet and tasty. Cornbread was moist and delicious. Got the ham and biscuit pudding to go…tbd on that! Check it out!

Great BBQ and ribs! BBQ is great even without any additional sauce. You can’t beat the price of a sandwich combo or bbq tray with a drink.

Excellent service and food. The bbq and all the sides are phenomenal. The BBQ is among the best I’ve had, easily top five in the state. Just make sure to get there early before they sell out!
They also have other meats like chicken which I didn’t try.

ALERT: TOP TEN ENTRY FOR MAC ‘N CHEESE NATIONWIDE. This was our 346th ‘cue stop in a journey spanning 35 states, and our 23rd in the Carolinas, where there are quite a few BBQ joints that fly under the radar because they are located in small towns well removed from the interstate. This is one of them. There is no seating inside the building, but take your meal and walk around to the back. Here you will find a truly unique picnic seating (see photos).
The price point here is superb. $26 bought two trays– chopped pork with sides of coleslaw and mac ‘n cheese, a rib plate (4 bones) with sides of baked and green beans, a sausage link, and two cans of diet Pepsi. The mac ‘n cheese, which is an in-house recipe, is one of the ten best that we have so far found in BBQ circles nationwide. The coleslaw is neutral, making it ideal to cleanse the palate as you move between different meats. We also liked the beans, especially the green beans.
The sausage link had good snap and flavor. and the in-house vinegar sauce really brought the pork to life, but our meat of choice here would be the ribs. Beautifully prepared, with a clean bite and a tasty rub and light sauce, they are simply delicious.
So, we strongly recommend that you make the effort to get here … but go early! We were eighth in line at the opening, and worried that we might miss out because, as is always the case in the universe of small town American BBQ, when it’s sold out, they are done for the day.

The bbq was good. Lightly sauced! Which is a good thing being I’m not a fan of sauce running out of the plate. The potato salad was different than what I’m used to but I liked it. The cornbread had a sweet taste to it. I wasn’t impressed with the tea by no means. I suggest water or a soda. The ribs & chicken were sold by the time I arrived at noon. So you’ll probably have to get there at 11am to get them. The bbq plate was reasonably priced.

Ribs are out of this world, better than what I have had in the big cities in Texas. BBQ sauce is not too sweet. They have rotating sides, I have had Brisket Chili, Mac, Cornbread and all are phenomenal.
Owner is really friendly. Get here early! They sell out incredibly quick.

Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Perfectly smoked BBQ and Ribs. The pulled pork was not chopped beyond recognition or overly sauced, as is common from other places. The ribs were tender and meaty, with a beautiful smoke ring, and a balanced rub that enhanced the flavor of the smoky meat, not super saucy, though there is sauce available. The sides, especially the cornbread, coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni & cheese, and okra & tomatoes, were all tasty, above average, and obviously freshly made. And the price is very reasonable for the size of the serving. $7-8 for a plate, including sides and a drink.
I ate there for lunch, went back to pickup dinner for my family, and I’ll probably drive the 40 minutes to go back for lunch tomorrow.
200% recommended!

Matt with South Catering/Southern Smoke BBQ catered my wedding of 150 and guests could not stop talking about how great the food was. We did not get a chance to taste test before booking, but we trusted all of the great reviews and they truly delivered! The entire meal was so delicious, especially on a hot July day! I would recommend Matt and his team for any party/wedding food needs!
