"Let's start with the Brisket & Ribs Plate + One Small Side. Brisket was dry, the ribs were very small even for St. Louis style. Neither one had a lick of salt and pepper very bland. The potato salad was okay. I added more mayo and a secret ingredient to make it better. Collard Greens with Smoked Ham Hocks (Sm/8oz) were very sweet. The only thung har had flavor was the Sausage - Smoked Jalapeno and Cheddar Link. It was juicy, nice snap, spicy, and very flavorful. Maybe this is one of those places you have to go in to enjoy. I may do that. I will try it again but in person next time."
"Everything was tasty and full of flavor. I ordered the brisket, rib, and turkey platter and it was delicious. The banana pudding was a 10/10. I will be ordering here again."

"First time ordering from here and the food was good. The ribs and brisket are soft and juicy. The Carolina Gold and Sweet & Sticky BBQ sauces also have good flavor.

"Great food! My favorites are the Baja Fish Tacos and the Hush Puppies. The Hush Puppies came with a honey dipping sauce - I thought it would be a weird combo but it tasted really good with it. And my kid really liked the Churros which came with yummy chocolate and dulce de leche dipping sauces. I didn't get to try the churros cuz my kid ate it all."
"One of the two sides I ordered was missing, and the mac and cheese that arrived was flavorless. I love smoked meat, but the St Louis ribs (which were tough and had very little meat on them) both smelled and tasted like a freshly used fireplace. The churros and bbq pulled beef were decent, but I won't be spending money here again."

For some reason their Oxtail Beef tasted like jerk seasoning which is unusual AND on top of it I ordered a large and was literally given only tiny small oxtail with fat.
