I'm not quite sure what makes this place ""Mom n Pop."" Is it the lack of A/C? Is it the shabby set up? Is it the lack of the staff's professionalism? Is it the remote location, several miles out of the city? Since when does good barbeque have to be served up in a dilapidated poor excuse of a dining room? There's nothing special or extraordinary to find here. I'd rather go to Tony Roma's--at least I know it's not too out of the way for the health dept to inspect on a regular basis. I'm afraid the positive reviews stem from the stereotype notion that Southern = informal, uncomfortable, uncouth and remote. And, therefore, any place that fits this description must be genuine Southern and great barbeque.\r
The cooks and servers sounded like NY thugs! And as for Mom and Pop, I didn't find either of them there. Bet the owner lives in a posh neighborhood and laughs all the way to the bank.
Pros: the sodas weren't flat
Cons: from the seating to the bathroom to the kitchen to the service and get ready to park on dirt
