About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

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.

Haven’t been to FD is years, I must say it was a pleasant surprise! The food was very delicious, good portions, and a great price. The service was AMAZING!!! Jordan was our waitress and she was outstanding. With large parties there are always a request, she went above and beyond. My group was really happy!

Server was delightful, efficient and got everything just right. Each in the party had something different and all were happy. I especially like the onion straws appetizer. I think the collards are a bit too spicy. Macaroni & cheese too spicy for kids but was less spicy than the collards. Ribs perfect. Both kinds

Our server was very good. She was very attentive and responsive to our requests. My food was served luke warm. After asking for hotter food, the brisket was dry and the corn was overcooked. I will not be returning to this location.

The floors were sticky under the group's table. Otherwise, it was a good evening event.
