EDITED- Please keep it professional, Because i said what i said. All my claims are true i called corporate office and spoke to the lady at the front desk she literally told me it wasn’t right and i should’ve gotten my discount like i said. you pulled up clips from one day. Mindy did refuse to give me a refund because she thought someone else payed for my food then i showed her on my phone where it took $16 from my card! Cody hung up the phone on my mom and I don’t appreciate it! And like i said keep it professional! This supposed to be the owner talking putting my business on google? The most you should’ve said is for me to call the number the have a nice day.

The food is always good. Went through the drive-thru. I thought that the food should have been hotter since we waited in line longer than expected. Over $35 for 2 Little Joe baskets. One with fries and a drink. The other with fries and an onion ring. The onion ring I always love.

The only good thing here was the mac & cheese. It was actually some of the best I've had from a drive through. Everything else was garbage though. The pork was dry & barely had any sauce. They had put the cornbread on top of some pickled beets (which I didn't order so must just come with the meal). The cornbread was ruined because it got soggy.... The sweet potatoes were decent enough. I might give this place another shot because the potential is there... just need to step up their game.

Whew…If I didn’t know any better I would have thought my mother and grandmother was in Melvin’s kitchen whipping of the mac and cheese. Whoever whipped it up knew how to balance the cheese and pasta to make a delicious cheesy and buttery dish. The pulled chicken was tender and the greens, although a little too salt were good. I’m use to a thicker bq sauce and didn’t have an appreciation for the thin, vinegar based liquid sauce. I don’t eat pork or beef but my husband raved about the brisket being smoky and tender and pork skins(made fresh daily).
