Though it has been a traveler's haunt since its inception, its fame is spread far and wide for people to travel the long distance just to relish their smoked deliciousness.

I really enjoyed the bbq pork! It was tangy from the sauce it was dressed with which went well with the sweet coleslaw. By themselves they are good but together they are way better! I will definitely go back. I didn’t like the dessert choices however. Those weren’t homemade, it was Sara Lee brand. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have ordered it.

Pork was flavorless, bbq sauce was mostly vinegar, Brunswick stew was watered down and seemed to be made with ground beef. The cole slaw was bland and seemed to be simply minced cabbage, no other flavorings. Even the pickle was awful. I had heard wonderful things about this place and I wasted $20.
