| - I had an amazing meal that consisted of fried chicken (with homemade bbq sauce), pulled pork (aka bbq), homemade onion rings, homemade coleslaw, homemade hush puppies, and fresh brewed sweet tea.
First, let me tell you that the place is very unassuming. It's a old style southern drive in restaurant complete with metal trays and radios to call in your order. I explained it was my first visit so they sent a waiter out to show me the ropes. He explained what the platter combo was and, even though it was too much food for me, I wanted to get a "tour" so it was the way to go.
I had stepped out of my car to stretch my legs and was invited in to enjoy my feast. I gladly took them up on their offer as I'm not a fan of eating in cars. The staff was great. They wanted to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had whatever I needed. I also got to meet the owner and we spoke for a good 15 minutes. He told me that the recipe for their sauce has been the same for over 50 years and is made from scratch daily. When you taste it, you will get how important that is. Being from NJ (yes, I'm a Yankee) you hear about a Carolina bbq sauce and it being vinegar based. All I can say is any preconceived notions you have about this type of sauce... you're wrong. The sauce was fantastic and complimented pretty much everything on my plate. I was dipping onion rings and hush puppies in it. The fresh coleslaw had a sweet side to it that balanced it out. AND THE FRIED CHICKEN WAS THE BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! I am getting older and shouldn't be indulging in chicken skin, but I couldn't leave anything behind.
So in conclusion, the food, the people, the best.
