Place was quiet since it was early for dinner. The hostess/waitress was very attentive, kept my tea full and even offered me a to-go cup. Chicken and ribs were good.

Large portions (healthy people can/should split a platter) of some of the best BBQ in the area. Try the Ribs with the sweet sauce for traditional TEXAS experience!

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere inviting, the food excellent and the value very reasonable. You need to try this place at least once if you're in the area.

I had the pulled chicken nacho appetizer. It was incredible with many bbq sauces to choose from on my table. I sampled them all. The appetizer was a meal in itself. I would have enjoyed dessert but had to catch a flight.

There are variety of plates to choose from. The meat is excellent. I prefer the wet ribs over the dry ribs, though I think that most go for the dry ribs. I also like the cheese and sausage plate as an appetizer. The service is good as well. The prices are slightly high, though worth it.

Went here based on other reviews. The ribs were just ok, based with good spices, but still lacking something and a little dry. The sides, potato salad and baked beans, were excellent. The potato salad is warm, boiled potatoes with skin and I don’t know what else. The baked beans had onions and ground meat. We ordered the rolls, instead... More

Really good ribs--almost the best I've had. Large portions. I didn't care for the cole slaw (somewhat soggy), but the potato salad is really good. You can choose from several sides, except the cole slaw is apparently standard. I went back the next night.

Had take out on my 1st night with 3 different pulled meats and sides that were huge quantities. Taste was so good we went to the restaurant the following night. Food was just as good, waitress was really friendly, helpful and patient. Their pecan cobbler has made it into my top 3 desserts

Really tasty BBQ. Since that's their specialty you know they have several varieties of BBQ sauces, from mild and tasty to hot and sassy! I'm a hobby musician, and I really liked the guitars and posters hanging on the walls. One of BB King's "Lucille" guitars is on display in a case at the register. The manager was tickled to... More

I ate here for dinner and had an average experience. Having lived in central Texas, perhaps my expectations for BBQ are too high, and I think that perhaps the place was having an off night. I tried their sampler plate of pulled pork, chicken, sausage and brisket. The sausage was very good. I found the remainder of the meets average... More
