We stopped in late on a Friday night. The place was practically empty and we almost passed by because we thought they were closed. Man, I'm so glad we didn't.We were welcomed as soon as my family walked in and instantly smelled the amazing BBQ.They had pork belly burnt ends as their special so I tried that, with a side of okra and fries. Wow. Absolutely amazing. Okra was fresh and had a nice crunch and the pork belly had a nice bite while also just melting in your mouth.My wife got the pulled pork sandwich, her go to BBQ choice, and she said it was one of the best she ever had. My toddler absolutely loved the Mac and cheese and the sausage. The sausage was a nice blend of sweet and spicy with hints of what I believe was jalapeno and pineapple.All and all the place was great. Staff was welcoming, food was delicious and the price couldn't be beat. We had a long day of driving for a funeral and this late night stop was by far the highlight of the day. Will absolutely be back if I'm ever in the area again.

The great and the ugly.The service was great, prices are awesome and we had to take food to go because they give so much.We tried a lot of the menu, best fried pickles ever, best okra, really great potatoes, Mac and cheese, coleslaw. The meats were good, brisket pulled pork, pork belly, sausage.I highly recommend this place with a warning.Maybe this was a bad batch but I swear the pulled chicken we got came out of a can. It was something we didn't even eat or take home because it was just bad.So don't get the chicken and you'll love it.

Very reasonable prices. Maybe the best fried okra I've had. Beef and cheese sandwich was very balanced flavor and texture and has left me licking my lips for more for the past 30min.
