First time stopping in and will DEFINITELY be back. Apparently, they have new owners but the same pit master. Service was top notch and they showed us the plates as they were made! You give the approval and they box it up for you. My wife and I enjoyed the ribs, brisket, and pork. I thought I would be getting sliced brisket, but it was chopped. No big deal - still had an amazing flavor. The ribs fell right off the bone! You don’t even need bbq sauce for any of the meat. Don’t skip out on the collard greens or peach cobbler.

I’ve been a regular customer for several years and I’m saddened to say that I agree with some of the other recent reviews here that the quality has taken a nose dive. I’m writing this with the sole hope that the new owners read this and make desperately needed changes: Please talk to whoever was managing the cooking previously, ask them to train you on how they ran the kitchen (especially the ribs and Mac and cheese recipes), and please please bring back all the food that we love so much!!!! I will unfortunately be taking my business elsewhere. I’ll only return if the food quality goes back to how it was before.

I really enjoyed their brisket sandwich and the pulled pork wasn't bad either. The mac and cheese could've been better though. The potato salad did rock, my roommate attested. The prices were a bit too steep for what I got. $21+ for a sandwich with 2 sides and a piece of sweet potato pie - $5. I'd go back but but I'd order differently. I'm glad they're open in the evening now.
Ownership change has impacted quality and portion size. Ribs were decent but cold, chicken did not appear bbqd and half chicken was more 1/4 chicken. Mac and cheese was not Mac and cheese; melted cheese over pasta tubes. House sauce was original and beans were OK. Too bad as this was our go to bbq place. Hate given bad review but have recommended this place to so many, hopefully new owners will make changes.

So this place has new owners which I had no idea until I was actually ordering. When it was Homestyle BBQ it was some of the best around, but now it’s not good. The portions are tiny. The mac and cheese is a joke. The potato salad is still good. The pulled pork barely has any flavor or even tastes like it’s smoked. The bbq sauces are different now also. It was more of a duck sauce consistency and tasted nothing like bbq sauce. The sandwich came with 2 pieces of sandwich bread. Staff was very nice and you can go inside to order now, but it’s completely different. I won’t be back unless it changes.

Not a bbq place anymore with new owner. Chicken and corn was not smoked or bbqed. Seems that new owner buys roasted chicken from wallmart for $6 then just rubbs some maggi on it and marks up the price to $18. Corn was just boiled. Very upset. The original owners was real smoked bbq. What a shame!
Pulled pork sandwich, bit of rice and 2 sides was decent but was charged $20 for it so it was hardly a good deal.

Good barely okay and below average. Everything precooked then microwave heated to order. What gets me how impersonal the service is, you order and they don't accommodate anything special about your order, then they shut the window so you can seat your ass till they call you. It's like you're begging for their microwaved food which isn't worth buying the first time not alone come for a return. Potatoes salad has lots mayo

Unbelievable! Ribs and collard greens that will tantalize the taste buds! All this at a better than fare price! Don’t wait go and treat yourself to a hidden gem!

I love discovering new BBQ places. I was driving through this area and noticed it was nearby and highly reviewed. It's like the BBQ Gods were leading me here.From the outside it doesn't look like much and thankfully I never judge a book by its cover. As soon as I stepped out of my car I could smell the sweet smell of the BBQ smokers. That aroma was all throughout the air. It's what I imagine heaven would smell like.I went with the rib dinner w mac-n-cheese and baked beans. I would've eaten here but there's really no option for that other than in your car so off I went. The smell of BBQ in the takeaway container was permeating throughout my car. So much so that I had to start digging in. I couldn't wait any longer.The ribs were really good. I'm not sure if the meat fell off the bone or the bone fell off the meat. Either way each bite was bursting with smokiness. Such great taste and the quality and tenderness of the meat was spot on. The beans were a hit as well. Each bite had a sweetness to it except the last one, only because it was the last one. The mac-n-cheese was not good. It was what I would imagine a dish that had been sitting out for several hours to be like. I couldn't get past the 2nd bite.I had hoped to try the banana pudding but they didn't have any. Insert sad face here.Overall great experience. I would recommend this place if you're looking for great BBQ.
