Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014On Triple D, Guy calls the ribs, made with brown sugar, paprika, cayenne, onion and garlic, "awesome." Other faves include brisket, pulled pork and chicken fried steak. Read more
RossJanuary 3, 2016Start off with some onion rings and hush puppies. The smoked turkey sandwich is really good and the pulled pork is the best of the meats (imho).- Food NetworkMarch 8, 2012Guy visits this barbecue joint that uses only green mesquite wood or young wood for cooking. The owner swears by it for giving the meat the best and most consistent flavor.

Alex ParrishOctober 28, 2011Chopped beef sandwich was delicious, wasn't too happy w/ the potato salad, kind of bland, save room for pie ;)

gabriel dJanuary 30, 2012Dog friendly patio, just come around the back gate & not through the restaurant.
Get a basket of hushpuppies to enjoy while you wait for the beef.
Michael PetersMay 1, 2014Wings are outstanding but avoid the pork ribs. They're pretty dry and unremarkable.
