    Great BBQ, service was good not as attentive as we’d like. Bar was a little slow with serving drinks. Overall great ambience and experience and most importantly the food was great.

    Everything was fantastic, as usual. You can't best their brisket and jalapeño grits. First time having the cornbread, and I thought was mediocre at best.

    The servings have gotten much smaller. It’s just too much $ for what you get.
