Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently point to the oversized loaded baked potato, the "Sho Nuff potato," as the standout, several noting they couldn't finish it and split it with a friend for its size and flavor. Close behind, the pulled pork and pork roast draw praise for being tender and juicy, especially with the mixed sauce, and diners also single out the onion rings for staying crispy outside and tender inside, along with sweet baked beans and a range of veggie side options. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and hospitable, and several describe the space as small-town, clean, and worth seeking out despite being hard to spot from the road. One reviewer, however, describes a starkly different visit for a large group, calling much of the food stale and microwaved, with a casserole carrying a chemical-like aftertaste that rendered several sides inedible, though that reviewer still credited the service. Another reviewer flags unclear online menu descriptions, warning that a "mixed pie" item contained coconut, chocolate, and pecans, a concern for anyone with a nut allergy.

    “This was one of the worst meals I have had in a very long time. Found their information in a magazine with awards for some of the best BBQ in the area. My family of 10+ dined there and every one of us was sorely disappointed in the quality of the food. Some of it cold, most of it very clearly made prior and warmed up (tasted stale and old and microwaved). One casserole had a chemical-like aftertaste and became one of many sides that were rendered inedible. We were not expecting fine dining at a meat and 3 kind of place, but the food was not appetizing, some not worth a second bite. I was shocked considering the reviews. I’m not sure if the food quality has drastically changed over time or if there is something dishonest in the ratings, but truly the worst food I’ve had in years in a restaurant. I felt the need to share my experience to hopefully spare someone the time if they are considering this spot! Only redeeming quality was great, kind hospitable service. If only the food had been edible!!”

    “Good luck finding any legit descriptions of items. “Mixed pie” is not what you read in the DoorDash description. If you have a nut allergy, you don’t want this mixture of chocolate, coconut and pecans. If you …”
