Best

I loved this place. Great atmosphere, great service and good food. Lovedsitting back and listening to the band play and having a few drinks.

Worst

This place does not prepare meals to order; they're just ready-slopped on a plate within seconds of your request. Worst fried green tomatoes I've ever had. The sauces are pretty...

The place to be 9/6/2002

Loved the sign outside. You have to keep it up, do not listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Food was awesome, the service was great. more

Better than homecooked!!! 8/5/2002

Besides the best barbecue pork in town, the sides are exceptional. The macaroni and cheese is to die for. Great slaw, OK beans, and fabulous fries. Yummy banana pudding closes the deal! Pros: homey, inexpensive, well located Cons: needs more desserts more

Sweet Pickles in the Sauce 8/1/2002

Come hear for the music. The sauce that they use kills all the flavor of the meat. Someone decided that using a sweet-pickle based barbecue sauce was a good idea. Big mistake. Personally, I think it taste bad. That's the best I can say. This sauce is used to hide the fact that they cannot consistently cook the meat to the correct temperatures. Another case of wearing to many hats. You cannot be good at cooking everything. Specialize in one dish and work from there. Other than this critical flaw, this place has everything going for it. Fantastic music and atmosphere. Very country, intimate. Great bar setup and front porch. They got everything else right, just don't call yourself a barbecue joint if you're not focused on barbecue. Pros: Fantastic Music, Good Bar, Country Intimate Cons: Horrible BBQ Sauce, Horrible BBQ Sauce, Focus BAD SAUCE! more

BETTER GO HUNGRY! 7/24/2002

This is a fun ""down home"" place with a big wooden porch (watch out for those loose planks!), wooden floors and big wooden tables & benches where you can spread out to eat like a hog! The sauces are left on the table so you don't have to beg for more from your waitress (like some other BBQ places!). The sides are homemade and plenty to share. The restaurant is a fun, friendly, upbeat place and is a great value for your money!! We love it! more
