In a world filled with restaurants, there's a distinct absence of genuine, time-honored BBQ that speaks to your taste buds and your heart. The search for rich, smoky flavors and a dining atmosphere soaked in tradition often feels like chasing a fleeting dream.

Nestled in the heart of the city, we're not just a restaurant; we're the epitome of a culinary legacy.

I hate to do this, having to wait hours to get an order is ridiculous. Paid advance and knowing we were on the way is not good at all. I’m sure this review won’t hurt business but when excepting big orders, please be better prepared.

I came across this place online and stopped in on my way into the city for a show. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I had read about the smoked wings and HAD to try them. The staff was super friendly and helpful in getting my order squared away. 5 wings, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and a drink for a little over $14. The guy who took my order recommended the signature bbq which was a mustardy yangy bbq (loved it!). No complaints at all. Everything was seasoned; the Mac and cheese was so damn good. It will definitely be on my list of places to grab food from next time I am back. 🙌🏾

It was wayyyy better service when the family was running it now they got anybody taking order as I was waiting on my receipt to print I was waiting for it to print and I was told by the cashier to “get out the way go about your business” when no receipt was printed wasn’t no altercation or reason for that service after being a customer for several years.
