Carrot C.Carrot Creative: Authentic southern BBQ. Go hungry like a true Redneck and order a spiked Peach Tea, which is strong yet refreshing. The mac 'n cheese, pulled pork, and pickled beets are to die for.

Henrik O.Henrik Oscarsson: Classic southern style bbq. Simple but good. Try the pork ribs, or the brisket. They are finger-lickin' good. Good beer assortment too.

James S.James Sims: The hush puppies will weigh you down all night, but they are oh so worth it.
