    Really great service and the food was awesome! They have a fairly large menu and lots of appetizer options and a solid beer selection. They should list beer prices though. My BF ordered one that turned out to be $14. That’s okay, but he would’ve ordered a different one if he knew that was the case. Our server was a young dude, but very sweet and attentive. We’ll go back! Now we have a local southern/bbq joint!

    Food was great, cooked well, great sides and very little wait time for all plates including apps. Couldn't finish all in one sitting. Portions were surprisingly large, but definitely good value for the the price point. Really enjoyed the variety of menu items, really excited to visit again and try more items.

    I liked the variety offered, but the ribs were not the best I ever had. Also, the service was only okay. It took a while just to be seated, even though we had reservations, and then it was a while longer before anyone came to take our drink order.

    Love the food, love the service. We've been there several times and will continue to dine there for slow roasted brisket, ribs, burgers and salmon that falls off the bone. Sooo good!
