Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    Fantastic smoked Old Fashioned, delicious okra, oysters that made me crave more, very tasty pulled pork that was perfect with the sweet BBQ sauce, and wow, those pickles. Boyfriend lived his ribs, too. We will definitely return. And the music set the proper vibe.

    This is surprising hidden gem. The service is very fast, food is excellent, the menu does have a good variety and prices are fairly reasonable. Not as many healthy options to choose from though. The ambiance is a throw back to the days of Max and Erma’s where interesting period clutter adorns the walls. Makes for some fun looking at the retro signs etc all around the restaurant.

    Haven’t had a bad experience yet in the years I’ve been going. Good food, good service, great atmosphere. The wait on Fridays and weekends can be a tad long but if you make a reservation they honor it pretty well. Only ever had to wait for them to clean a table when using a reservation.
