Service was friendly and fast. The brisket taste great but, it was a bit dry for my liking. The pork, chicken and ribs were delicious. The smoked beans were a bit on the pepper side. Overall it was a good meal. I had the Dream Platter.

What a gem in Norfolk!! We stopped here after running errands in town & I couldn’t be happier I discovered it!

First off, the location is adorable. For a small mom & pop place they have plenty of indoor seating plus a covered patio that I cannot wait to return to in warmer months. Inside is well lit & decorated with fun barbecue decor that instantly sets the mood. So cute!

As someone whose neighbors probably wonder if I ever cook inside… I’m picky about barbecue. I usually judge a new place by two things: brisket & pulled pork. I ordered ½ lb of each & somehow both savored it AND inhaled it. Seriously… where did it go? That’s a full pound of meat (not uncommon for me as I really only eat meat).

The meat is not pre-sauced – thank God. There are however 3 sauces at the table (I tried original & hot). I’m normally not a sauce person but they were excellent – sticky, flavorful & not ketchup-like. You don’t need much.

Now onto what really matters –

Pulled Pork:
Perfect texture. Fall-apart tender without becoming mush. Actual shredded pork — not dry strands & not paste. Little bits of bark (my favorite part) with clean smoke flavor, great seasoning, not fatty & not dry. Absolutely nailed it.

Brisket:
This is where most places fail… and they absolutely passed the test. So Tender but structured, not chewy, not pot-roast soft, not oversalted, trimmed correctly pre smoke so the fat rendered perfectly. First bite was honestly bliss. Perfect seasoning that lets the meat & smoke shine. True barbecue craftsmanship. I’ve had brisket I’d repeat (outside of my own) exactly 4 times now.

Kid review (the real honesty test):
Pulled pork sandwich + mac & cheese = demolished with no words between.
Chocolate cake = instant wide eyes upon first bite.
Apple crisp to take home later = still raving.
Welcomed return when in town = agreed.

I was already planning my return while leaving the parking lot!

10/10 — will absolutely be back whenever we’re in Norfolk.

Some items were better than others. The beans were very good, the brisket sandwich was good, and so was the potato salad. Not really a bang for your buck place, but I’m willing to try it a second time.

One of my favorites. When friends or family come to visit this is one of the first places I suggest to try. The staff has always been great and the BBQ is fantastic. Just had the Wednesday special, a brisket burrito with chili and queso… it was so good I debated coming back later that day to get it for supper as well. Truly one of my favorite places in town.

My husband and I completely enjoyed our experience! The owners and staff were incredibly welcoming and made you feel right at home. Prices were very reasonable for bbq. The portions were huge, and if we didn’t have a long road trip ahead of us, we both would have taken to-go containers. The brisket was juicy and tender! This was our first, but certainly won’t be our last visit to get some delicious bbq.

The food was excellent!! The meat was well smoked and had a good flavor. It needed some salt, but the rub was good. The sauce was nice and thick with a good hickory flavor. The nachos were huge and very good. The ribs were great, the meat had a little tug to it but not too much. It had a good smoke and flavor. The beans have a good flavor and they seem like they’ll be spicy but there is no heat which I thoroughly enjoyed.

We will be back for sure and I highly recommend it.

I really wanted to love this place. Cool location, great patio for hanging out in the summer. I wasn’t impressed with the food. Light smoke flavor, ribs appeared well seasoned but not much flavor. Sauces were somewhat bland, spicy is not spicy at all.
