Well let's start here it's expensive. Everything is Ala Carte. I spent about $85-$90 on a rib/link, pulled pork, chicken & shrimp gumbo, mac & cheese and Cajun veggies & Grits. The smoked ribs were good it was about 6-7 tips the link was a hot turkey link not pork it wasn't good for me. Not sure why they paired that together. When I get pork I'd expect it all to be pork. They don't serve fries or bread so no sides with this.$16.50 The muffins are $3.00 if you need bread. The mac & cheese was great. 16oz for $14 The pulled pork was good and tender, however it was sitting in alot of grease. Perhaps if they put a piece of bread at the bottom that would soak up the grease. I actually took the link off the bread and used that bread for the pulled pork. They don't give bread for the pulled pork only the actual sandwich. $11.00 /half pound The Cajun Veggies and Grits were great per my sister she is vegan. $12.00 The Chicken Gumbo my husband wasn't a fan of no particular reason he just didn'

I’ve wanted to try this place since the owner handed me his business card at another business. I was impressed by his business savvy. Wow! What an amazing lunch we had. I ordered a half slab of ribs. Glad I ordered a half slab, it was enough for two and the Mac and cheese was one of the best I’ve had. Great flavor. We will definitely go back.
