I was exited to try this place but it did not meet my hoped for expectations. If you are spoiled on good Southern BBQ then this probably isnt the place. I think Famous Daves Chain is better than this place.
The hole in the wall feel of thjs barn shack of a place in and industrial park had me thinking good thoughts. The wonderful smells when you walk in and the great menu choices if pulled pork, brisket, ribs, chicken, sandwiches or plates made me want to try several things. Unfortunately they didn't have a small combo plate to try 2 meats and veggies (they have one option for $19 which is too big for most lunches). I went for the standard pulled pork sandwich and slaw and ordered a rib on the side. I got to try the fried okra and sweet fries my buddy ordered too.
Positives - good sides options (okra, homemade slaw, sweet potato fries, cornbread). Staff were very friendly and welcoming and helpful.
Sad items: pulled pork sandwich was drenched in sauce. I judge a sandwich by the tenderness of the pulled meat and smoky flavor and then add some sauce to balance for taste. This one had much sauce which is usually an indicator of hiding the real goodness of the pork.
Ribs - they were not tender baby backs but very fatty and not fall of the bone variety which I adore. Glad I didn't get a whole rack here.
My friend who got the rib tips platter wasn't too happy either. We wouldn't say it was bad tasting, just not great BBQ.
