Incredible staff, friendly customer service, welcoming at every angle. 10 stars, I’ll add on extra 5 for the collard greens and cabbage combination side they offered me.
They also offer samples in line which really shows how much pride they take in their smoking techniques.
The food was impeccable, and the staff really knows how to make people feel at home! Definitely worth the stop when you’re in the area!

We looked this BBQ joint up prior to our arrival in Dallas, and it was the first place we went to after we landed. We elected to get the smoked meat plate, which consisted of smoked turkey, ribs, brisket, hot links and smoked sausage. Our sides were collard greens and candied yams. To be honest, I wanted to rate this place as a “3”, but because of the smokey flavor of the meat, I gave it a “4”. The issue was that it tasted like it was cooked earlier and reheated. Although it had great flavor, it wasn’t as enjoyable as it could have been, had it been fresh. The collard greens were okay (not like the ones in Georgia). The candied yams was probably the best item on the menu. I would revisit this establishment again only if I knew what day and time I could catch them taking the meat right off of the grill…

My husband and I visited from Wisconsin. I looked at other review photos and saw greens, cabbage, mac and cheese and most importantly, ribs.
Everything was perfect and the price wasn’t bad. We had ribs that didn’t necessarily have ‘pull’, but was so tender the meat just slid off with every bite. There also was NO vinegar taste which is a major plus for me, but rather a smoked taste. The ribs were just a tiny bit dry, but only a tiny bit and did not alter the taste at all.
Mac and cheese-hittin, Greens-hittin, peace cobbler-hittin and all seasoned well. The catfish was not that Swai stuff, or at least didn’t taste like it. The cornmeal and breading was seasoned very well and that crunch though .
The sausage was spiced just enough, not too spicy, no cheese in what I had and the sausage was not dry. The cabbage was so good…no bacon or meat in it, but very good. The greens, not sure what kind, we’re seasoned well enough to eat alone and not need extra seasoning. Only thing, the BBQ sauce was a vinegar type sauce or at least tasted like it, but the ribs really didn’t need sauce.
The only thing I didn’t like is the Diet Coke was nasty and not many choices for Diabetic-friendly drinks, except for unsweetened tea. I didn’t see any Equal or Splenda, so I didn’t grab tea.
The atmosphere was very clean and my husband said the men’s bathroom was spotless. We were welcomed in by staff who held the door open. Since this was our first time there, we had to ask questions about the dinners and the staff had no problem answering questions.
I’d definitely go back and recommend going to see for yourself. We’ll be back soon and will more than likely have this on our list of places to go eat at.
* When we pulled up the area looked a little sus, but it’s actually pretty decent, so don’t let that scare you off.

The owners and all staff were great! Friendly and courteous. The food was absolutely scrumptious! Big portions for a great price.
The atmosphere was amazing, super clean, Billy asked us if we needed anything to just let him know, he checked on us periodically and he shared that he loves working here and I can see why because the staff is treated with respect and love. You can taste the love in every bite. There was definitely a party going on in our mouths❣️
The owner Brent gave us a tasting since it was our first time dining here. At the end of our meal he came to check on us, I told him that you can feel God’s presence in this place and he shared that they pray for their customers every day before they open the doors. My Hubby and I have finally found our BBQ place from now on this where we will be dining and we’re going to spread the word. Don’t walk run to get your BBQ on!!

I dropped in after seeing Diondra Sanders video last night and you guys did not disappoint. The staff…10 out of 10 and the food…GEEEESH! I had the ribs and brisket, with mac and cheese (the mac taste like you’re big armed grandmother is in the back making it), greens, corn bread, lemon cake and lemonade and everything was a 10 out of ten! The is also a black family owned business and I’ll most certainly be back.

First time at this establishment. The food was amazingly delicious. I had a brisket Plate, Mac n cheese and Collard greens. I felt like I was at my Gma house as a young child again.
I also grabbed dessert – banana pudding and peach cobbler. Which was OK, I guess because I got the scrappings from what was left in the pan, nothing but crust.

I really enjoyed my experience here , you can tell the business is family owned and the food was 10/10 . I’m a small person but I got full off of two bites of the brisket sandwich, I would say if you’re trying to diet maybe getting the lean brisket would be a better option. Also shout out to Andrew , the young man who helped me . Very respectful and the kind of person a family owned business would love.

We had a 3 meat plate and 2 meat plate total was $66.00 with a side of peach cobbler. The sausage, mac and cheese, black eye peas and cornbread was our favorite. The brisket and ribs was dry in our opinion. The price didn’t match the serving portions to us. We could have went to our usual spot and saved about 20$ and it would have tasted a lil bit better.

Great food !!!
Had full meal catered. Everyone loved it! Deliveries on time. The guy forgot the barbecue sauce but turns out we didn’t need it. The ribs and brisket was saucy enough. Delish.
