This was our first time dining here but definitely not our last. Food was amazing with generous portions.

Our server Michelle was so kind and welcoming. I got the BBQ ribs, chicken, and shrimp ($20.00). My friend got the BBQ half chicken ($16.00). The Mac n cheese was so good!

Still my fav stop when I come home. Best broasted chicken and bbq sauce. Broasted taters legit. Very generous portions and always comes out fresh. Ribs and shrimp are also always good. Again I’ve never had anything that I have not enjoyed. I also always get a bbq sauce bottle to go.
