I don’t usually come here because I don’t get off work till after 6pm & they close at 2pm most days and only take cash. I went on 10/19/24 and was given a small portion of pulled pork, 2 buns and 4 little kid ribs. Pulled Pork was okay but ribs barely had meat. I’m a grown man and for the $20 I paid for the small portion of pulled pork and small ribs I won’t be back anytime soon.

Absolutely the best sliced pork sandwiches!!! Been visiting this location for 20years and often take a drive which is an hour and half for the best lunch ever. These are the friendliest people and the service is really fast. Their hours of being open is very limited so always be sure to check before heading to there.

Best food ever, not a huge fan of BBQ but am a huge fan of the BBQ at this place, went for lunch two days ago and this is now my fourth time here. Can’t get enough of this pork! I even had dreams about it last night.

I wish I could give them a rating. I called ahead and asked if they were open and back from vacation as they were close for a couple of weeks. I also asked if they were serving ribeye steaks and they said yes to both. The website and the sign on the door said their hours were till 8pm and steaks can be ordered from 5pm - 8pm. We arrived at 726pm and the door was locked, they were closed. I tried calling again to see and no answer. Well I might give them another try on another day.
