Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the Sho Nuff potato, described as the biggest baked potato one diner has had and one another could not finish in a single sitting. Close behind are the tender pork, called juicy with a mixed sauce that adds a little kick, and a pork roast that was fork tender. Onion rings, baked beans and a wide range of vegetable sides also draw praise, and several mention large portions for the price. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, with some noting food that arrived hot and freshly prepared and a clean, small-town feel. Not every visit went well. One family of ten or more reports food that was cold and tasted reheated, with a casserole that had a chemical-like aftertaste, though even that reviewer called the service kind. Another says the "mixed pie" listed on a delivery app does not match its actual chocolate, coconut and pecan mixture, a concern for anyone with a nut allergy. One reviewer suggests asking at the counter first, since some items take longer to cook.

    “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 …”
