The establishment is spacious and accommodates large groups, making it ideal for family gatherings or events. The menu features generous portions of classic barbecue dishes, with a variety of options that cater to different tastes, complemented by excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.

The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for our large gathering, and the portions were impressively generous. The pulled pork had a unique sauce that I enjoyed adding my own to, and the overall experience brought back fond memories of my childhood visits.

Great BBQ,Cole Slaw and Hush Puppies! Very nice lady at the pick up line. Our only issue was we thought we were overcharged because the Online menu is outdated and prices are higher. Time to update the menu Y'all!

Has really gone downhill! I love any type of slaw and their slaw had a chemical flavor. Yuck! BBQ was blah!!! Sad to see a good place go downhill. I will not go back.

RUN! The food quality screams cheap. Frozen peas warmed, cheap cabbage barely cooked. Instant rice. Chicken and Dumplings stretched water thin and BLAND. Everything is made to profit for the owner, with bad cooks and store bought products, with little real effort to even come close to home cooked as they advertise. BBQ? VINERGARY!

ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS, THE FOOD AND SERVICE HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT. HOWEVER, LAST NIGHT (0OCTOBER 12, 2O11) THE COLE SLAW WAS BLAH-TASTING, THE HUSH PUPPIES WERE COLD, AND THE BRUNSWICK STEW WAS ACTUALLY A THIN TOMATO SOUP WITH A LITTLE MEAT IN IT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THE OWNER WAS IN TOWN - HE WOULD NOT LET SUCH GO ON IN HIS PLACE! I HOPE, IN THE FUTURE, HE PUTS SOMEONE WITH BRAINS IN CHARGE, WHEN HE LEAVES.

Has really gone down. Imagine having to pay extra for BBQ on the buffet, what they specialize in. Mashed potatoes (insant) were so waterd down they fell through the plastic fork. The Pepsi was watererd down, too. Service was good, but can't say much for the overall dining experience. Won't be going back.

The Chicken and barbecue is okay but the last time I ate there the slaw was terrible. You need good slaw for barbecue.

great barbecue - but unbelievably none on the buffet! You have to pay $1.00 extra for a waitress to bring you some because the restaurant management says too much was being wasted by customers. Also there are signs saying there is a $2.00 service charge if you leave uneaten food on your plate - how insulting! Maybe the restaurant management should not have a buffet if they are worried about waste . How about al l the waste they create by throwing away 100's of paper plates, bowls and eating utensils everyday. While I enjoy the food, I will not go there again!
