This is not BBQ. Pulled pork and ribs taste like oven cooked pork covered in store bought sweet BBQ sauce, no bark or smokey flavor.The hash is watery with no flavor, probably out of a can.Coleslaw okService good.Not Again...

Been meaning to try this place for sometime now. The service was great and the food was okay. It's definitely not the best has and rice that I've ever had but it definitely isn't the worst. The pulled pork was good. The baked beans were okay and the onion was great. I will eat here again if I have a craving for pulled pork.

This bbq is good. I mean really, REALLY good. Excellent in fact. And can we talk about the onion rings, fries, hash, and the sweet tea? All excellent as well. The dining room is old school charm and very clean. The staff is friendly and service is spot on. Hands down my favorite bbq place.

For the past few years, my wife and I have driven past this place but never stopped in. Out of curiosity, we finally decided to give it a try and instantly regretted the fact that we should have gone here years ago. The food was excellent and the service was great! I had the Big Joe Plate and my wife had a BLT and fries. Very fresh and cooked to perfection. We dined in and couldn't believe how clean it was. It's obvious the owners and employees take pride in this establishment. This is going to be a fairly regular stop for us.

This is my first time eating here and it was absolutely delicious. I definitely suggest trying the hash and rice. I have never had that and it was amazing. I will be eating here again very soon!

VERY DISAPPOINTED! This was the worst food I’ve put in my mouth in a very long time. I had their ribs, onion rings & fried okra. Ribs are supposed to fall off the bone. These ribs tasted like they were frozen, microwaved, drizzled with mustard bbq sauce & served ?The onion rings had too much breading & tasted like nasty pancakes. The okra was the only thing I kind of liked. I threw everything in the trash in the restaurant. I’m upset I tried this place! $27 for garbage food!
I have always loved this restaurant. It has the best Carolina Gold BBQ around.
