This place is just average. I have visited numerous BBQ places in the state of KY. Perhaps at another time they were better but I cannot give higher than a 4 rating. I had pork and itâs consistency was like it had already been eaten. Mushy! Coleslaw was fair. Potato salad was very close to mashed potato consistency. Very disappointed. Will not be back.

This restaurant has ample parking and seating. You can order from the menu, or opt for a buffet. At $11.99 Monday-Thursday, lunch offers outstanding value. The dinner cost increases to $16.10, which is also the cost of the Sunday brunch. On Friday and Saturday nights, prices increase to $19.69. The buffet is run right-- there is a constant turnover of dishes, which guarantees that they will be hot when you begin to eat.There is an adequate (and fresh) salad bar. The brisket and pulled/chopped pork are OK, but the mutton is excellent. The burgoo is thick rather than soupy, and loaded, but badly under seasoned. We brought it to life with pepper and the hot sauce on the table. There is a good range of largely unremarkable sides, but the creamed corn is to be recommended. Finally, there is a nice array of desserts, with a remarkably light and tasty meringue topped banana pudding, and cherry cobbler.In summary, the lunch buffet offers great value.

I guess my wifeâs and my expectations were high but we can only give an âaverage,â and weâre stretching to get to that. Service was decent but food (buffet) was between cold and room temperature (bbq ribs were tasty but cold), bbq pork extremely dry, veggies were straight from a can. I had a hard time deciding between banana pudding and coconut pie for dessert, but chose the banana pudding. Big mistake. I donât like giving negative reviews but we were disappointed with this place.
