The hush puppies are sizable and usually quite delicious. They have homemade spaghetti available at dinner, but I’ve only been here for lunch. I’ve heard that the spaghetti is very good. Breakfast is also served, featuring livermush. I tried the livermush sandwich and found it quite good; a little onion adds flavor, though not necessarily to your breath. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit—it may not be a must-see destination, but if the opportunity arises, the barbecue is worth trying. It could use a bit of tweaking to perfect the flavor, but the smokiness and tenderness are there, and there are other menu items that are worth sampling. Keep in mind that many locals in Salisbury feel passionately about the history and quality of the barbecue served here, just as their counterparts do in Lexington. So approach this barbecue spot with an open mind, and if the experience doesn’t wow you, maintain your own perspective. Enjoy the variety—it’s all delicious, and how dull would it be if everything tasted the same?
