Saw some great reviews so we went out of our way to try it. We tried all the different meats + chicken wings and didn't care for any of them. They all tasted old, dry and heated on a flat top grill. Even the wings looked and tasted reheated and overdose. When we ordered brisket and was asked if we wanted it warmed up I was floored. We've done bbq crawls in USA & Canada and that is the first time we'd been asked that. Choosing a table to sit was pretty easy. There was only 2 tables used but only 2 tables clean to choose from. If there was a line of people (or even a couple) ordering I'd understand but this wasn't the case. I did enjoy the corn and the guys were very nice. That is why I gave it a 3. I will always check a place twice when the people are friendly. Hopefully next time will be better quality.

If you like BBQ then this will be a great place to visit. Staff was friendly and food was great. I ordered the Silver Dollar City and it did not disappoint. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the chicken was a little dry.

Sad this place use be really good place. Eat there for lunch the mac and cheese was like soup and noodles was under cooked the corn muffin was old and hard. The only thing good was pulled pork. For price what I got definitely not worth it. ???? Food : 1/5 | Service : 1/5 | Atmosphere : 3/5 … More
