Outstanding BBQ. So glad they were offering takeout service during these difficult times. They are fantastic.
The food was like warm at best, Mac n chz was cold. Meat was chewy.

Our server was very helpful, polite and attentive. We couldn't have had a better dining experience.
Got 3 dinners. Catfish, Fried Chicken & Rib Tips. Sides of Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Mac-N-Cheese, Baked Beans, Onion Rings & Corn Muffins. Fish, Chicken, Potato Salad, Mac-N-Cheese & Muffins were Great! Rib Tips were chewy, Baked Beans were mushy.

The workers there were extremely nice, but is soon as you walk in the smell kind of turned me off. It smelled dirty. The food wasn’t that bad, but the macaroni and cheese was very odd. It had a sour taste to it. It felt like it had a coleslaw flavor? Very different. I don’t believe that I would go back based on the quality of the food, and the smell of the restaurant.
Awesome BBQ , excellent service! I will be taking friends and family back.
Got BBQ chicken, ordered it grilled. Got a double bean sized container, was supposed to be double mac & cheese. Workers were very pleasant. Everything else was great.

Ribs cooked just the way we like them. Meaty and extra sauce. Great service every time we come here. Take outs always ready on time and hot.

We like to dine on the patio out back because it is quieter but the service isn't quite as good because they are usually so busy inside. It is still our favorite pizza place, though!
Looks like you walked into a really well run family business and they make you feel at home . Gloria is a sweetheart
Take out for party. Potatoe salad and Peach Cobbler were wonderful
Ribs were excellent and the grilled chicken was really good too. We had 4 different sides that tasted great.
There were a few tables set up if you wanted to eat in....but no A/C and it was so hot in there. Could not eat in that's for sure. So we got our order to go.
Ribs were great. Asked for extra sauce. We like them that way. Fast service and polite. Nice quite and clean place to eat.
The food was awesome and the workers were friendly. Real relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Definitely would go again and bring family and friends.
Great Ribs
Always a pleasure to dine here
Great ribs. We will be back for more. Pizza is great also.
the food is good but the service is very slow.
nothing nancy for a restaurant, just good southern cooking.
Nice small & simple clean place to eat with good food.
Food was very tasty and good and hot. Dessert was great.
The food was over cooked and covered in too much sauce, as if to hide how dry it was.
Just us and one other couple. Had to chew the meat off the bones. Ribs looked like beef ribs and not pork ribs. and did not taste like they were cooked that day. Chicken was good and bread was good corn bread was not good. won't be back.
Great ribs.
Nice place to get a good meal
Not exactly what we expected. It is more a take out place. There are a few tables. The food was excellent
Nice ribs and great staff. Fast order for my walk in order at a Sunday evening visit. I will be back! Nice selection of items to choose from.
Our waitress Gloria was a joy! She made sure we all had drinks as it was the hottest day so far of the year. She just could not do enough for us.
Fast and good food.
Wasn't fresh. No flavor. Swimming in a much too sweet sauce
It was better than average but not superb or great.
The Ribs are delish!!

CARRY OUT.
It is a very personable place to go and eat at.
Friendly Service
I have always enjoyed their food. The other I was with can't wait until we return. The owners are very friendly.
The staff was very friendly. The menu quite extensive and reasonably priced.
Ribs were perfectly cooked.
Chicken was only warm as served.
Food was great, and so was the service.
Specifically ordered without black olives and found black olives.
wait staff gave us good guidance re choices based on freshness of food ...service was timed well
THEY GIVE A VERY LARGE PORTION AND WE ALWAYS TAKE HOME SOMETHING (1/2 OF OUR PLATE)
It was fun to look around at all the stuff on the walls. It help start great conversation and laughs.
The food was excellent but initial ordering slow. Table service was very good.
Great ribs
Good amount of meat on ribs. Very tasty.
Outstanding BBQ! Nice hometown place, friendly folks.
wd have preferred food was served on plates rather than in to-go containers, altho we ended up using those containers b/c we had too much food for 2 people! chicken rice soup was salty.
The wing dings were alright but not the best I've had and would not ever order rib tips again. This was a take out order for a party of about 30. There was about 15 wing dings left(out of 50) and about a half pan of rib tips left out of a half pan order.
We had 6 people at home waiting to eat and I orderd 2 slabs of ribs and wanted 2 sides of slaw. The wonderful woman waiting on me suggested to buy 1 slab and 1 slab dinner. The dinner came with 2 sides and bread. So she saved me money doing that. She was extremely friendly and kind and I appreciate the savings. My family from out of town were amazed at the size and the amt. of meat on the ribs. To top it off, the slaw is the best we have ever had. Just a perfect meal. Thank you very much
BBQ was excellent. Mac and Cheese not so much.
Pretty basic environment to eat. Best pizza ever and great service.
The lady who served me was very pleasant and helpful. I was impressed. And their mac & cheese is to die for!!
Workers were very nice but the pizza and atmosphere of establishment not that appealing. They are better known for their ribs, but we did not have them.
Excellent tasting food and good Southern cooking that the whole family enjoyed.
Our lunch was brought in a paper box.
Order a rack of ribs to go. The were Gooooood.
the staff was very friendly and accomadated any of our requests.
Would like a fresh side option, like a side salad or veggie skewer
Another FANTASTIC meal, great service.
Excellent waiter
gracious, pleasant - timely and attentive,good food
The food is always excellent, and such a reasonable price!
The food was amazing and we loved the atmosphere. Can't wait to take more friends with us next time.
1st time in N.C, the waitstaff was very friendly and helpful, food was excellent, almost too much food, the seasoning on the black beans was great , the plaintains melted in your mouth
The best Cuban sandwich ever tasted.Will was an outstanding server.
Delicious as always....
I have been here in the past and this time the service was much quicker and some good changes had been made in the decor/layout.
Food was totally lacking in flavor. No atmosphere at all place could use some sprucing up.
Great BBQ and Sides
Great food.
Staff and food was very good.
Very Good BBQ
way over priced. too spicy also.
It has an old time diner feel to it with mostly booths, a table and a jukebox. The owner (I'm assuming she was the owner anyhow) was friendly and the service was fast. When I walked in there was the aroma of bread just taken out of the oven. And as I discovered they make their own bread right on the premisis.The food was good, the BBQ sauce was sweet with a spicy tang to it and it worked well with both the ribs and the chicken.I got 2 side dishes with my meal, I chose the mac-n-cheese which was good, and the baked beans. The beans were a little bland but I added some salt and they were very good then. I'm guessing they don't do the salt either for health code or for customers who are on a low sodium diet. Etiher way, not really an issue as I salted to taste.The side dishes were of a size that will feed 4 people. It also came with 4 breads. I got 2 corn muffins, which were very good. They had a good taste and were perfect in texture. I also got 2 slices of their bread, it was very good, light with a nice texture.
