A great place! The owner is so friendly! We love it

What is up with this place? Has anyone ever gone to a custard shop, and found an incredible bbq joint there? Yes. Their frozen stuff is much better than the local spots. But, I have found a favorite lunch place here. The smoked meats are incredible. If you like ribs, pulled pork or any other favorite...they have combo platters to help you find your fave. Be sure to order the baked beans topped with pork cracklin'. ..Well worth the price of admission.

Staff was nice. My sandwich had no BBQ like it was supposed to and was to dry to eat. I did live the corn bread but hated the coleslaw.

Jim and Carol are wonderful! Great customer service from all of the employees! Food is amazing too!

Beef brisket sandwich was extremely tender and juicy. Shame this place isn't in my home town.
