Three stars is an unpopular opinion, but …
Of the three meats we tried, the ribeye was the best. It was moist and had decent flavoring, sauce wasn’t needed. The pulled pork and chicken, however, weren’t that good. You know you have good meat when you don’t need sauce…I needed sauce for both. The chicken was dry, and the pork was flavorless. The quality of the meat at a bbq place makes or breaks it for me.
The sides were okay. The macaroni had really good flavor, but the pasta was slightly overcooked. Nothing to write home about, but it’s hard to screw those two things up.
Corn bread was good !
Pickle spear was good ! Lol
Staff was super friendly !
⚠️ A big safety suggestion I would make is for the owner to move the “open hours” sign. It makes it really difficult to see eastbound traffic as you leave. I would encourage them to pull it off the road a little bit more, even just a foot or two.
Overall, I’m glad we tried it, and I wish them the best because I do like to support local, buttttt after trying it, we will drive the same distance the other direction for another local favorite.

If you’re craving some daaaaamn good BBQ without breaking the bank—stop in here, like, yesterday.
From the moment we walked in, the aroma alone had us drooling. The 5-cheese mac n cheese? Unreal. Creamy, cheesy, perfectly made—it’s a side dish you’ll dream about. And don’t even get me started on the loaded baked potato with brisket. HEAVEN. Pure BBQ bliss.
They’ve got a great lineup of sauces too, and let me just say—the Memphis Sweet stole my heart. Tangy, sweet, and perfect on everything.
The cherry on top? The staff. Super friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. Honestly, five stars doesn’t even cut it. We’ll definitely be back, and next time we’re bringing friends. This spot’s a hidden gem!

I stopped at the restaurant on a Thursday a half hour before they opened at 4 o’clock. I am glad I waited around until they opened.
On Thursdays in addition to their normal menu, they offer loaded baked potatoes.
I decided to have the loaded potato with pulled pork. The potatoes are baked perfectly, and was served with a large portion of a well prepared pulled pork.
Potatoes are offered with a large selection of fixings of your choice.
On the tables there is a rack of various barbecue sauces that seems to be a cut above.
I tried the applewood pepper barbecue sauce. It was very flavorful, but not hot, it paired well with the mild pork.
The owners were behind the counter, and the restaurant was very clean and well kept.
I would have no concerns recommending this restaurant to friends.

Stopped in by chance. Was on our way home from a wedding in Illinois. Saw this little place on the way over but didn’t have time to stop so we stopped on our way back home.
BBQ was amazing! I had pulled pork sandwich and my husband had the ribs. Both excellent choices! Cole and baked beans were great too!
The only suggestion I would have is to have some Rhythm n Blues or Country music softly playing in the background.
Overall a great experience!

Customer service was a 10/5. First time being there and they informed me everything they offered. Food was great! For sure will be coming back. Pricing was pretty great considering it’s a little town.

Stopped in here for lunch after a morning on the lake and loved it! Staff and owner were very friendly! The food was amazing! I had the pulled pork value menu with mac and cheese. Added in season fries and it was perfect and filling. Love that they have multiple sauces for choosing right at the table as well! A must try!

Simple and delicious. Fair prices. Great sauces. Great atmosphere and service. Mac and cheese was a bit mushy and a bit bland. I’d add a side of simple green beans. That would have hit the spot.

Awesome gem of a place! Found this little BBQ shack randomly but glad that we stopped! The place itself was SUPER cute, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious! Prices were good and portions were prefect! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area or not and would go back in a heartbeat if ever in the area!

Some of the best pulled pork I’ve had in a while. Good selection of BBQ flavors. Wifey lived the brisket. Mac and cheese was on point.
