There are indoor, outdoor, and covered seating options. The owners' children were playing outside, adding to the family-friendly atmosphere. The service was excellent, with attentive staff refilling drinks promptly. I typically prefer my BBQ without sauce, but the homemade sauce served here was the perfect complement to the smoky meats. The ribs, brisket, and chicken were all delicious, with the brisket standing out for its flavorful, juicy cuts. The sides were average, but the cold, brownish potato salad was a standout for me. Overall, the presentation of the food was well-executed, adding to the excitement of dining at this BBQ spot. It's a relaxed and casual place with great food and friendly service, making it a must-visit for BBQ lovers.

3rd generation staff was unbelievably friendly and welcoming. They know what they are doing in the world of BBQ. The Brisket, ribs, mac n cheese and yams were to die for. I couldn't have found a more authentic place as I am not a fan of chain bbq. Highly recommended.

Awesome smoked BBQ, and the outside seating area under the pecan trees is lovely any time of year. In the winter, it's nice and sunny and warms you up. In the summer it is shaded and keeps you cool. Prefect weekend lunch!
