This place may look like a dive, but it definetely serves up some great bbq. My friends and I were visiting from out of town and thought this place was too interesting to pass up. It calls itself soul food bbq, its got this bright gaudy yellow wall. As we walked by though, I saw a huge drum grill being manned in the back, so I knew this place had to be authentic.
The entrance of the restaurant is actually on the side, so we walked in and were greeted by Big Mama and her son(i think). They were definetely friendly and willing to chat with anyone who stops in. Since we had just eaten a large breakfast, we decided to split a pulled pork sandwich. I asked him how long they cooked the pulled pork, and he responded "forever." Good humor, but not the answer i was looking for. He did say though, their homemade bbq sauce uses the pork fat drippings from cooking the pulled pork...yummmy.
The sandwich is only $5 and comes plain. They definetely piled high the bun with pork. The pork wasn't the most tender, but the sauce was very unique. It had a slight kick to it and had a slight citrus taste to it. I imagine if you combined regular sweet BBQ sauce with chinese spicy orange chicken sauce, you would get something similar. Overall pretty good.
This place has some local charm to it. Stop in, have a chat with big mama, and enjoy the home cooked bbq.
