Dementropy: The brisket and the burnt ends were fantastic. The spicy bbq sauce is a must. I normally don't like coleslaw, but theirs made me rethink my stance.
Kristy Baird: Burnt ends and brisket are my favorite. Spoonbread is amazing. Really solid selection of local beer.
Brittany Barfield: Get the brisket cheese fries! You won’t be disappointed. Mac n cheese was alright. There were also a lot of flies. Had to swat every 30s. Or so

Stephen McQuaid: Some of the best BBQ I've ever had! Ordered a bit of everything but the highlight was definitely the ribs. Drown it in their homemade BBQ sauce and you can't go wrong. Cheeky little cocktails too
Bruce Jones: They ran out of ribs and chicken. Meat was good but BBQ sauce is not my favorite.
Bronwyn Wachter: Great food, funky place, reminds of the hippest places in San Francisco. Pulled pork and sweet tea can't be beat!
