| - This place looks like a dive, so you know it must have great BBQ. From the diamond plate on the walls in the restroom to the mud flaps around the stalls this place oozes authentic Carolina. Outside, they have at least a dozen spots to park your motorcycle. Some kind of manufacturing plant down the street, a payday loan place, and a pawn shot ... so you know, a sort of edgy neighborhood that lends itself to authentic BBQ. The server was perky in a laid back sort of way. We got the tater skins for an app and I had a BBQ sandwich. My wife had the fried chicken, mash potato's, and mac and cheese. We also ordered the cornbread. They even have fried cheese cake. So, we want to like this place. Unfortunately, the cornbread was cold ... I mean like it had just came out of the fridge. The mash potatos looked like the kind you get at KFC, and tasted about the same. The Mac and cheese, was lumpy, not creamy, and so it was also a looser. The fried Okra, was, well you know, the frozen stuff you get from all the places here lately ... definitely not home made. It seems that lots of restaurants seem to think that sides are just that, something on the side, and not really anything to get excited about, and so they order frozen stuff from their provider, and that is that. The BBQ was good, nice smokey flavor, and the fried chicken would have been good, but it was a bit greasy. All in all, I would have given this place two stars, but the servers really tried, it gets a 3. Another thing, the parking lot is really small, as is the dining area, and the place looks like it gets really crowded really quick.
