“A friend and I are road-tripping through the south eating BBQ. This is the first white sauce place we've been to, and it was hands-down some of the best BBQ we've ever had.

The pulled pork is juicy, tart, and pairs well with the sweet sauce. The chicken's moist, but, damn, that white sauce makes the chicken really something special.

The white sauce itself is fantastic. It strikes the right balance between vinegar tart, cream, and pepper. I couldn't believe how good it is.

Lastly, the service crew were friendly, sweet, and showed us great hospitality. They cared about making a good impression!

Lawlers stands out among all the places we have been to!“

“We were in town to visit the WW2 veterans museum which is wonderful. We picked the brain of local vet and he suggested Rolo’s. We were not disappointed. The food was great! It was hot and tasty and service was top notch. Only complaint was it was busy and not enough tables. This is because they’re so popular and the place was packed. It’s a good sign when it’s packed and the food and service is still good. I’d definitely recommend.“
