Went in to this dark and relatively empty place for lunch. The country western inspired motif with scratched table tops and torn seat pads the country music blaring in an empty 3 room venue. A convoluted menu you that the cashier said he canât figure out after three months working there. Itâs Mc Donaldâs style counter ordering with a number issued for table delivery. Then the $31 lunch arrived. Real barbecue. Long and slow cooked it was tasty food. 2 pieces of chicken, 4 ribs and some of the best brisket Iâve ever had. Fair potato salad and nasty macaroni salad. The onion rings (4) are huge and seemed pre made. Good not great. Pricey bordering on too high. Ambiance for those that miss dark Smokey bars I couldnât muster a must go to.

We were in the area for Spring Break and stopped into this really old stinky dive. Many reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp looked good so we decided to drop in. We've had bad experiences with restaurants before but this was the worst ever. BBQ was old and reheated, tough, chewy, almost inedible. Thick cut fries were undercooked. Cole slaw was edible. Cornbread was dry and cold. Onion rings were pretty good the only thing that was decent cooked and tasted halfway okay. Not sure how this place is still in business. Worst part is what we ordered turned out to be a bill of right at $50.
