This place is consistently very busy and for good reason- it's the best barbecue you're gonna find, at least around here. Macaroni is the best I've ever had and baked beans are also amazing, and the employees are all great as well.

The husband and I made a snap choice to try Eli's. best...decision...ever! I had pulled pork, cheddar grits with crispins and we shared 2 bones. It was nearly a religious experience. Can't wait to go back. Which can't be soon enough.

The smoked turkey, macaroni and cheese, jalapeño cornbread, and cole slaw were absolutely delicious. Everyone else in my group loved their food as well. Great food in a super fun atmosphere!
