The sauces that are on the table had no flavor and it seems they just added vinegar to ketchup and called it bbq sauce.This place definitely does not represent the south when it comes to BBQ. I recommend when you see it, keep driving, your better off ordering from the QT.

Brisket was good but the ribs, both types, were a let down. Virtually flavorless. Please say that what we experienced was the result of an employee error and will not happen again. I visualized a change in ownership may have been the cause.

The food was delicious, the service was quick (despite being a busy Friday night) and the atmosphere was fun. My party loved the outdoor area, which is a great place to wait for a seat (although we spent time outside after our meal since we got a seat immediately). There is a bar outside that was convenient to visit. Aside from the rocky parking area, the accommodations for disabilities was great to see.
