What our guests are saying

Exactly what you're looking for if you're searching for authentic, down home Southern BBQ. Got the Rib plate with greens and Mac and cheese, added some of the brisket and a side of cornbread. Fellow traveler got the BBQ sandwich plate with slaw on top with fried okra and cabbage. Classic white bread slice is Greens and cabbage were excellent and vinegar-y, what we were looking for. Cornbread was moist and very good as well. Brisket, rib tips, and chopped pork were excellently smoked and seasoned. Amazing 😍 The sauce given was a bit sweet for me, but if that's your thing, they got it. Mac and Cheese was a bit bland but not bad at all. I'd try the baked beans instead Finally the cobblers caught my eye on the way out and took them to go. Very good, even cold. All told, great trip and worth the drive. Friendly staff and old school atmosphere. 4.6 out of 5 for sure.

We ordered bbq plate sandwiches with French fries fried okra and baked beans. Jan 21 2026. The service was great very friendly and fast. The food was delicious. A little heavy on the bbq sauce on the sandwiches but great food. Definitely will go back

Well, it didn’t look like what I expected, but the food lived up to the reviews! Set in an old gas station in town, you order at the window and wait around on basic tables and chairs. It’s a busy place with people coming and going to pick up orders, so we knew the food would be good! And it was. I ordered the β€œfried corn” thinking it would be fried but it seemed like cooked kernel corn with lots of hot sauce!

Generous, friendly service. Food that just won't quit at prices that make it worth buying seconds. Small cozy space inside with a drive thru window outside. Grew up in the south, and this is the best fried catfish I've come across. Crispy, crunchy cornmeal coating with tender, flaky catfish. More importantly, the catfish wasn't slimy or gooey anywhere. Cabbage side was so good I drank the juice. I didn't know cabbage could have that much flavor. Mac'n'cheese side was creamy and gooey but the noodles weren't mushy. It's hard to hit the middle ground between al dente and overcooked, but they've done it with precision. Spaghetti side was slightly sweet, meaty, and delicious. Equal parts sauce, noodle, and meat, this dish filled me with pleasant nostalgia. Overall: Salt=flavor and they toe the line on oversalting without crossing it. I would GLADLY make the 2 hour detour off my route if it meant I'd get to have the same experience again. Absolutely divine and can't wait to stop in again.
