Second visit in 9 years and it was good to be back! Enjoyed the pulled pork and their house chips. Wasn't a fan of the spicy mac and cheese. I always liked how they have handouts of the Fish Fables. It's a fun read! Our waitress Julie did a phenomenal job. She bussed, served, and checked out customers. She was very kind and welcoming. Thanks for the exceptional service during what seemed to be a very busy day.

Very busy spot. The servers were ran off their feet but did such a great job and were super attentive and nice! The deep fried pickles hit the spot - massive portion. However, maybe cause it was the end of the day, I feel the BBQ didn't quite live up to what I was expecting. Pulled pork was probably the best of the selection we had. Vibes of the place - immaculate. Very roadside BBQ , without it feeling like a chain. Would come back maybe earlier in the day.

Always taking a chance trying BBQ in places other than Texas, KC and the Carolina's, but this place did not let us down. I had the two meat plate with a 1/4 rack of ribs, coleslaw slaw and Mac n Cheese. The brisket was juicy and full of flavor, smoked turkey was awesome and ribs fell off the bone! The coleslaw was great and the mac n cheese was so cheesy! Service was great and the weather outside on the patio made it the perfect stop!
