No credit cards but they do have an ATM inside. We enjoyed the pull pork dinners and wow...glad we only got the small dinners! Portions were huge along with great selection of side portions. We only paid 6.95 each for our dinners. Lots of selections on the menus. They are open Monday thru Friday 11-8pm. All the desserts are homemade as well and our one dinner companion stated that the rice pudding was the best he had tasted. We also sampled lemon meringue pie and and interesting version of strawberry shortcake that was make with twinkies...very very good. Great staff and food was served quickly. Won't hesitate to stop here again when we are in town.

SC BBQ snob review. Having eaten Q across the USA, I am extremely critical of BBQ and accompanying sides.Place was clean including the restrooms. Picnic style table top was sticky but appeared clean? Service was very good but correct order fulfillment was lacking. The place had more staff than customers when we stopped in on a Thurs just after 1 PM.The pulled pork was cooked properly and was moist even though it was served on a bun that I had asked to be eliminated (my request was even printed on the receipt). The house sauce was good with a semi-sweet catchup base and is incorporated into the pulled pork which is a big NO NO for true Q, so I cannot comment on the actual taste of the meat or smoke content. The unconventional slaw was horrible and contained pineapple/jalapenos/cilantro which was served on the side as requested and then they charged each of us 15 cents to do that? Potato salad was average. The warm 3 bean salad had potential but was overloaded with thyme to the point we left half of it. The BBQ chicken quarter was served with excessive dry rub to the point it was falling off onto the plate and the taste was not conducive of any BBQ I had ever eaten. (*FYI: Per staff, this same rub is used on the ribs) I stripped off the skin/rub and the meat itself was cooked properly with little smoke flavor. Utilizing the provided small container of sauce directly on the meat made it pretty good. No sauce jugs for patron use on the tables. Another NO NO for a true BBQ place.The addition of the Hopewell food tax put more punishment on the tab. With the tip it was $31.00 for my wife and I for a lunch. Very expensive for the sub par meal we got. Scratch this one.*Note this review was completed without using ridiculious undiscriptive terms like OMG, awesome, yummy, to die for, do your self a favor, trust me, etc.. We don't care about your allergies or the need for gluten free food. Describe the food, service (or lack of) and provide details on the cost/copy of check and include pictures! Is the place clean? No one cares about the waiter/waitress names or their abilities. They get changed like underwear and you don't get to pick one.

Read the great reviews about this place on here and had to see for myself. Not disappointed one bit! The pulled pork was so tender and good and the sauce was amazing. Let me say the Saucyâs slaw was the best slaw Iâve ever had on a bbq sandwich. The cilantro in it gave it the best flavor. The potato salad was equally delicious. I wish our trip was longer so we could come back for more!
