“ Billy has cracked the code on great local pulled pork, ribs and chicken. Sweet potato crunch was to die for. Hash is a little watery for my taste but taste was great. Worth the drive from Greenville, Simpsonville, or local. ”
“ From the outside this place doesn’t seem that interesting but once you get inside it’s really great! From the food to the service to the vibe - everything is great. We had the sampler option and added some sides. All the meats were excellent to me. I really like brisket and have a high expectation for it at any BBQ restaurant. The brisket here was the least impressive of all their meats to me. I don’t usually have high expectations for pulled pork or smoked chicken, but I was actually very impressed by the pulled pork and smoked chicken here. The ribs were delicious too (I tend to have a high standard for them as well). The sides of okra and baked beans were good too. The fried pickle appetizer was addictive. So delicious. Last but not least our server was super nice and attentive. ”
“ I'm trying to visit as many restaurants that surve BBQ as I can in the year I will be here. Lost count but I like this place. People friendly, even to a northerner. Loved the sweet potato crunch, had whole peacans and lots of them in it and great taste. I tried the Hash(first time) it will be the pinnical that all others have to match. The brisket had a "glaze"(never heard that before) but it was the best flavor then bbq sauce. The brisket was cooked just right, good color and Very good flavor. I was very happy. And full. ”
“ I usually don't do 5 stars for places but this place deserves it 100% the waitress was a blast! Working with another new waitress she was also working as a hostess!! The food wow!! I got a grilled chicken tenders sandwich and fries. chicken was very juicy in a large order of fries. Hubby got chopped chicken with baked beans and pepper, jack mac and cheese. We are not from this area, but we have both marked.This restaurant and will return!! ”
“ This is one of those off the beaten path places that you make the journey to... well worth the adventure! Truly incredible bbq experience for those who appreciate the craft.... excellent sausage, flavorful brisket burnt ends, tender smoky pork & a juicy chicken qtr. Sides mac-n-cheese & Brunswick stew w/ cornbread.... perfect accompaniments to the meats. If you're local, you're lucky. If you're traveling get there & get some! ”
“ Brisket melts in your mouth. The taste is delish. Natural essence of flavor not salty or superficial. ”
“ ribs so easy to eat, I could put them in a bowl for breakfast ”
