- Charles TabangcoraJanuary 4, 2011The ribs are amazing. If they could combine the tenderness of the babyback with the flavor of the spare rib, then that would be the perfect rib. Definitely try the ribs!
- Benjamin RoodmanSeptember 26, 2015Mac n Cheese, Collards, delicious bacon, and even try the bacon ice cream.

- B.B. QueApril 11, 2014Ribs were pretty good, almost had an asian flavor - citrusy and sweet. I'd skip the banana pudding. Service was good
- The sweet tea is the best in town &Don't miss the sweet potato fries. Reward yourself with a combo platter. I recommend chopped BBQ & Beef Brisket.

- Miss DMarch 10, 2015The ribs are awesome and that sauce on the table... I put that %$#& on everything!
- David LeeSeptember 5, 2014This is a damn good BLT. The bacon is jowl, cured in house. Nothing ordinary about it.
- The Carolina Style Ribs are melt in your mouth delicious. The menu says they have "more bone, more fat, more flavor!"
- Michael LaneJuly 18, 2013At the bar. Biscuits and hush puppies. WOW. Can't wait to try the pork and ribs
- LauraMay 13, 2012Overrated if you ask me, but I'm biased as I grew up eating truly authentic NC BBQ. Only thing worth the trip is banana pudding. Decent but not deserving of all the hype that it seems to get.
