Best BBQ I’ve ever had and worth the wait (only about 15 minutes). The brisket melts in your mouth, green beans and Mac n cheese - outstanding!! Definitely go if you’re in the area - your tastebuds will thank you for it!!!

Finally a place that I can order a meal and feel like I am at home. Staff was very helpful and joked with me from the parking lot all the way inside and back to the car. The food was spectacular and I felt treated the same way a cowboy would if he just got done with a days riding and I will most definitely be back!

Good Service. Good food!!! Both meats & sides are seasoned well. I like that the restaurant is an old house the feels like home. Different sauces to choose from. My FAVORITE was the Georgia Fire. Good portions for the price. Beans & Mac n Cheese were good. I heard that the collards we GREAT! Not award winning bbq. But, well respected and guaranteed to satisfy. Your Boi "Tha RIBOLOGIST" has spoken!! PS. BEST BBQ in these Mountains

1st time visit. Had heard about how good the food was. Husband got a variety of meats to try and take home for later. The portions were huge and all the meat varieties were juicy and tender. They had multiple sauces to try depending on your taste.

Aight yall, this place was a random Google maps select after packing in and out of the Smokies. We struck gold folks, do yourself a favor and stop by. The brisket had 3 different textures with three different delicious flavors and the brisket tacos are worth throwin down for. Ask for Chelsea B to guide you on this BBQ bonanza, that gal got it hacked from savory to sweet

The best BBQ — and that’s saying a lot! Two of us had the ribs, two had the brisket, and honestly, we still can’t decide which was better. Both were packed with flavor, tender, and absolutely delicious. If you're a BBQ lover, do yourself a favor and come try it. You won’t regret it!

We were just driving down this street and saw this restaurant. Had no plans for lunch. Stopped in and to give it a try. Fantastic, the brisket was super tender and smoked just right. My wife had the turkey and loved it. The turkey was also tender but not dry like most. Service was fast and friendly. Being from Texas, this is the best I've had east of Texas.

Hands down the best BBQ I’ve ever had in my entire life. The brisket was so tender and had an incredible crust. The turkey was juicy and had an incredible smoky flavor. The ribs fell off the bone. The chicken was cooked to perfection. All of the sides were delicious, but my favorites were the green beans and the burnt end baked beans. They have a selection of tasty barbecue sauces to choose from, but honestly the meat is so outstanding that you don’t need sauce. Our waiter was fast, friendly, and efficient. We went on a Saturday and only had about a 25-30 minute wait. I would wait so much longer to eat there again. Do not skip this place!
