Once a few years ago. Food is still some of the best I've ever had. Ribs are fall of the bone tender. Catfish almost melts in your mouth while still having a good crunch. Service is like having dinner at grandmas house. Can't recommendthis place enough

The seasoning was great and they were fall off the bone tender. Beans and bread werealso delicious.

I'm not sure if they're following the methods the place was founded with but it didn't seem like a barbecue that could span one hundred years. Thewiring is better than the food.

So far, every slab I?ve gotten has that membrane still on it! Never seen that and I can say I?m not a fan. It kind of gets in the way! Oh well. The ribs are sticking together but have a nice pull. Not too tight. The sauce is a little thin but has a surprising taste. It?s not spicy but tangy. And rich. Maybe a little coffee? Idon?t drink it, so I?m guessing. As for the sides, the slaw is ground! Wow! It?s very fine and sweet. Then sour. Then a vinegar aftertaste. Very easy to eat! The baked beans have pulled pork in them. Very good. Still sweet but rich tasting.Lots of pork in the beans. Very tasty.
