If you’re looking for solid BBQ, this place delivers. The brisket , chicken wings, and pulled pork were the clear standouts tender & flavorful. The mac & cheese and tater tots were also excellent, perfect for rounding out a hearty meal. The cornbread was good and came with a frosting sauce, which I’ve never had before but a nice touch.Came here with two other guys ready to eat, and we definitely left satisfied. Service was friendly and on point, ate inside but it looked like their patio is a great spot to hang out with a hungry group. Definitely planning to come back.

Last time it was a nice day we sat outside. The service was good except they forgot to bring one of the dishes that we ordered, but we managed to work around it.

We had the pleasure of being served by Diamond during an incredibly busy night at the restaurant, and she absolutely lived up to her name. Despite the packed house and hectic pace, Diamond remained calm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She managed to balance efficiency with genuine warmth, making sure every detail of our meal was perfect. Her knowledge of the menu, friendly demeanor, and constant smile made us feel like we were her top priority—even though she was clearly juggling many tables. It’s rare to find someone who can handle pressure so gracefully. Diamond turned what could have been a stressful experience into a truly enjoyable evening. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Diamond again. She’s a true gem!
