I went here when I was in the area. They had catered a dinner at church and it was delicious. Well in person it was sort of average. I liked the Cole slaw very much. There was a slight gas odor in the restaurant and that took the joy out of my experience. For most of my visit I was the only diner, while several came for takeout orders. The dining room is quite large with many four top tables.Parking: The crowd was sparce that night. The parking lot is fairly large.

Just like a couple of people have said, the ribs were dry and burnt. Everything I got was slathered in bbq sauce. The only bbq sauce they have is very familiar to great value bbq sauce at Walmart. The beans were something you'd expect to eat at a work holiday potluck. The beef was okay, it was reminiscent of bbq but very mild. The pork was absolutely horrendous, imagine putting pork cold cuts in a crock pot with great value bbq sauce. Lastly I would have to agree that it's very silly to charge for bbq sauce when you choose to-go, but it is offered free if you chose to eat inside. And yes, everything was very sticky.
