    Everyone claims their ribs fall off the bone, but these literally do. Best baby back ribs I've had in town.

    Excellent collard greens but the sweet potato fries are a little on the soggy side. Not much smoky flavor to the meat. I wonder if they don't actually cook the meat in the smoker.

    If you like dry rubs or at least being able to add your own choice of sauce, this place is not for you. I'm sure the meats are great on their own but everything was very oversauced. Wouldn't go back.

    Really good smoked pit beans. They mix some meat in so it's almost like chili.
