The pull pork was really good. Also the banana pudding and mac and cheese was good.The pickles that they have on the side were not my favorite. That being said, im not a cucumber person, and with what i believe is to be homemade pickles, you will be able to taste cucumbers. And thats all personal preference. Would recommend going to anyone.

The staff was great! I believe I met the owner while I was there. I could hear how proud he is of what he sells to the public. Once something is sold out, better luck next time you visit. I had the brisket plate with their BBQ baked beans and brunswick stew. I ordered a side of three ribs. They were calling me. LoL. Every bite of what I had ordered was awesome. This is a must stop if you are in the Opekila area!!

The brisket was very good. You can pull it apart with a fork. Potato salad and mac and cheese were made differently than what most other places have, but it was very good.

Really great authentic BBQ place if you are in the area it's worth the stop. They have the ability to accommodate allergies; I would personally recommend the brisket. You know it has to be good and fresh if they run out of food as they day goes on!

Both the ribs and brisket were delicious. The collard greens were some of the best I've had in a while. The atmosphere was very relaxed. It was well worth the 45 minute drive to get there.

We have been dying to try this place and it DELIVERED on all expectations. The pork and brisket were perfectly done. TRULY SMOKED. The Mac n’ Cheese was homemade! Green beans had bacon! Outside seating was beautiful in the evening

THE BEST! As a self-professed foodie and BBQ expert, this was the BEST PULLED PORK I have ever eaten! Perfection! Loved every single bite. One of the best meals we had when visiting for an Auburn graduation ceremony! They do it right!
