This restaurant is a lovely spot with a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant music. It is quiet and the food is delicious, with friendly and attentive service. I ordered the potato with pork from the menu and would definitely return. The prices are reasonable for a party of 3 adults and 1 child.

We stopped by here while traveling thru Dayton. Good food. The menu has a variety of usual bbq restaurant items. There were no french fries on the menu, which is my favorite with a bbq sandwich. But they did have a really awesome baked potato with bbq,cheese, butter sour cream on it. We tried the apple butter bbq sauce and the traditional sweet bbq sauce- both were very good.They had a variety of other bbq sauces to suit different tastes. They also serve pizza later in the day- we were there in earlylunch hours on a Saturday. They also had a large tv and appeared as if it might be a gathering spot for watching sports gameswhile enjoying a meal. Good food, nice atmosphere, would definitely go back when going near the area again.

The food at this restaurant was amazing, and the staff provided outstanding service. We ordered the combo pack that featured pulled chicken, 4 wings, beans, and mac and cheese. The owner kindly noticed us and treated us to an extra 6 wings at no extra cost. The additional wings were incredibly tender and delicious. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Chattanooga just to sample more of the menu at this restaurant, not just the wings!

We needed a large takeout order for 50 to 60 people and reached out to Dave from out of state four weeks in advance. He was incredibly helpful in accommodating our needs. The food was delicious and well-liked by everyone in our group! I highly recommend trying the banana pudding—it was delightful—and the homemade rolls added a lovely touch. We give it two thumbs up and will definitely be contacting Dave again for next year's event!

I've sampled BBQ from across the nation, from the Northeast to the deep South, and from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest, and I can confidently say that this restaurant serves the best combination of BBQ ribs, sauces, and side dishes I have ever encountered. The ribs are juicy and meaty, the chicken wings are perfectly seasoned, and the pulled pork is wonderfully moist. The mac 'n' cheese is just the right amount of cheesy, the coleslaw has the perfect balance of mayo, and the peach and bourbon baked beans are absolutely delicious. Be sure to try their unique cornbreads—my favorite was the cranberry and orange zest cornbread, which was both inventive and fantastic. I will definitely be returning here the next time I visit family in Tennessee.
