On a positive note, there's a beautiful pond and stream with picnic tables to eat at. The kids meals were $9 as well as the pulled chicken and pork sandwiches. The chicken was very dry, like it was made a day or 2 before. The sides were $3.75 for a big spoon full of a side (about 4 oz.) so very small. Definitely overpriced for the quality.

Pricey for sandwich and condiment size side. Brisket sandwich was shredded pot roast, not sliced brisket. Would not

I'm really iffy on it. I got the pork special so it had sausage, ribs, and pork. The sausage texture was as if it had sat in liquid all day and was very spongy. There is such a thing as overcooked ribs. I like meat that comes off the bone when you bite into it but not meat that is mushy and slides off the bone. The taste was okay. For that much meat the sides are miniscule. The potato salad is flavourless but the mac and cheese is good. I wouldn't go again. It's not worth the money. I don't mind paying a lot if the food's good. This was just meh!

Very disappointing BBQ. Although super convenient exiting the National Park, this place is not for true BBQ seekers. Obviously reheated and not at all fresh, and just so dry. Heed the warning and drive a little further to find something quality.

Terrible food ! Cole slaw smelled ruined , potato was nasty , baked beans had been cooking all weekend, and meat was nasty ! $47 for 2 people!

We paid 60$ for three plates for starters to get little cups of nothing. An the can drinks were 2.99! Do not recommend!

Four of us stopped to eat. Each of us said this was some of the best, most tender BBQ we'd ever had. Highly recommend stopping here!

Food was not good, and VERY over priced. $14 for a small pulled chicken sandwich and tiny cup of mac-and-cheese.Not a soul there at 12pm. Very quiet. 0 southern hospitality.And yes, I’m still hungry.

I wasn't impressed. The pulled pork was cold. The potato salad was disgusting. The Mac n Cheese tasted like something out of a box. Considering the amount of money I spent here I was definitely expecting better.

If your not from the south you probably think this is good, but if you are you realize it’s a poor imitation. The meat is not smoked, velveta Mac and cheese, etc… don’t eat here

This is not an authentic bbq joint. Pork was clearly not smoked. Tasted like precooked/packaged meat from the grocery store. Bun was dry. Canned green beans and processed packaged mac and cheese. I could have made better at home.If you're looking for real barbecue go somewhere else!
