About this business

The space was formerly a small country store for over 90 years after which it was taken over in 1981 and converted into a barbecue joint. Since then, they have been a popular joint offering slow-cooked, hickory-smoked ribs and barbecue, prepared like the old-times in Memphis-style. In addition to meat dishes they also offer delicious sides like deviled eggs and potato salad, pig sticks to name a few. End you meals in true Southern-style with a banana pudding, a homemade delicacy very tasty. The place is simple and has enough... read more

I was disappointed with the BBQ chicken platter... it was just over cooked chicken that you had to douse in sauce.. it tasted like they put Valentina hot sauce in the beans and the mac and cheese was also subpar. The service was okay, but slow..I can’t say I’ll return...

Not real impressed. Got the 1/2 BBQ chicken platter. It was a baked piece of chicken with naked beans and slaw. Not bbq’d. You put the bbq sauce on at the table. Folks, that ain’t barbecue. It was hard to eat with plastic silverware also. For the price, I would think you get real silverware to eat something like that. Beans were not real flavorful either. Ended up bring it home to feed to my dogs.

I ate here for the first time, and was VERY impressed. I’m from Georgia and I tried their Brunswick Stew. I grew up near Brunswick GA and love Brunswick stew- and they had some of the best I’ve ever had! Service was good, very friendly. Will definitely come again.

one of the best BBQ places around. Large portions and the homemade banana pudding is awesome.
