Heavy Smoked barbeque wood burning smell so much that I smelled it for the rest of the day. Discovered I Paid extra for add... whites, extra charge not mentioned on menu or by the server. Plus initial was served egg whites out of the Carton, requested andreceived whole eggs. As I was paying for the meal asked why extra cost for egg whites were not included on the menu or mentionedI was told "I only work here". Wow! Unfortunitely; I will not be back. Read more
Ordered baby back ribs, so dry it tasted like it had been sitting there for days dried out. Potato salad had such big chunks in... it you almost choked. No flavor on anything. Terrible food! Read more
This place has been around for like 70+ years i believe. This was my go to when i was a kid when i was asked where do I want to... go for my birthday! Easy choice. Their ribs are still the best i have had to date. Do not skip on smothering them with theirhomemade red sauce! Its money dude I tell ya. Only criticism is to bring back the hot towels after a messy feast. I know covidand all but i feel covid is done and theres nothing like having a hot towel to clean your hands and face after a feast. Itcompletes it. Read more
You have got to try the Fresh Peach Pie! It is seasonal in the summer months
This place is the best! The bbq ribs are my favorite. They serve a very nice portion for all of their delicious food. This time... I went looking for a Cheesecake and I was not disappointed. They didn't have one ready, so they prepped one for me. It was formy mom's birthday. Everyone LOVED it! Thank you so much. Read more
