DO NOT order from this restaurant. I had the order delivered via their website and they prepared my food wrong. Once I let them know, they would not redeliver or even partially refund for the wrongly prepared order. Said that they do not take responsibility (seriously?) and hung up on me.

Pulled pork was decent. It wasn't fatty but didn't have a noticeable smoke flavor. Good size for price. Great place if you want to hear the employees say the F word about every 15 seconds. Not a family place. Kid-friendliness: NOT kid friendly due to employee language

This was my first time here. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! If you can’t tell from the pictures what it is. It’s 2 really long strands of hair that was in the greens. I found out the hard way by putting a fork full of greens in my mouth and noticed I was eating hair. No it doesn’t belong to anyone in my family we are all African American.

Always enjoyed going here in years past and have only had carry out since Covid era. Today was our first time coming in to dine and while I love the smell and atmosphere... As a BBQ place, I felt my meal was lacking that very thing: BBQ. My 1/4 pork sandwich had some hot BBQ sauce but it's like I asked for "light sauce". I recall there being bottles of the sauce around the restaurant and when I asked, I was told they no longer have the bottles and was given a small cup of the original sauce. It was a little surprising. Food was good but not as good as the past.

It could be an awesome spot. The chicken needed more flavor, and the ribs were tough. The mac and cheese was good. The potato salad would be better if they chopped up the potatoes. The beans were good. Their sauces were not too bad, but they needed to supply more.
