Customer Review Summary
Pulled pork sandwiches anchor most visits, with several diners praising the sweet tea and the sauces as standout. The drive-through-only setup, with picnic tables the only seating, comes up repeatedly as part of the experience. Close behind the praise, though, sits a real split: some call it the best barbecue on Sand Mountain, while others report pork sandwiches worse than a gas station's and Brunswick stew that reads as vegetable soup with little meat. Portion sizes draw a specific complaint too, with one diner saying a pork superQ sandwich arrived nearly empty. The sharpest complaint comes from one reviewer who describes a family pack of unsmoked, unsauced ribs and dry pulled pork with only thin vinegar sauce on the side, calling it inedible enough to give to the dogs. A separate reviewer notes being handed food with no bag to carry it in.

“What can be said of some of the finest barbecue ever cooked? So delicious it's humbling AND THE SAUCES ARE LEGENDARY. You are a gift to Sand Mountain and North Alabama. THANK YOU!!”

“$50 HORRIBLE ‼️ First negative review I've ever done, but this was not only the worst BBQ I've ever had it was the worst food I've had in memory. I went on Saturday at 1pm and got a 1lb. pork family pack and a slab of ribs. They are to-go only so when we got home and opened everything up we were shocked. Ribs were not smoked and not sauced, gray, plain ribs that appeared to have been cooked in an oven. Coleslaw not seasoned, I mean none! Just cabbage, vinegar and maybe salt. The "8 pack of rolls" was literally a package of Walmart Great Value hamburger buns. 🤯 The pulled pork was extremely dry with no sauce, all sauces where in to go cups and very thin vinegar based. It was so bad that after a couple of bites we gave it to the dogs, got the kids and went to go get lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.”
