“ Been here a few times for the regular menu which is amazing. Came in today for their crawfish boil event they had going on and it was an awesome experience the food was amazing portions were great, music was great for the event (lots of southern rock). The manager Andrew is very friendly, super helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for having us! ”
“ March 14/25 @ 6:30 pm- Your honor WHO GAVE THEM PERMISSION?!? we’ve ordered in before but this is the first time we’ve eaten in house and it did not disappoint. The friendliness, the food, the cocktails (specifically the spiked sweet tea)-it all made for a perfect birthday dinner. The food was simply not of the kingdom. SINFUL. Downright filthy, 10/10, recommending to anyone who’ll listen. ”
“ we came for Mothers Day brunch. Let me tell you this place is amazing, the man who greeted us (owner?) was very happy and energetic making it more fun and very helpful. Best food I’ve had in a very long time and to this day the only chicken drumsticks I’ll eat. Great Place nice theme! ”
“ Ok folks, you literally have to go here with intent to chow down. This was a super awesome place to attend with our party of 5. Make a reservation as it is so popular and busy. Went in on a Sat at 5.30 pm and left 7.40 pm. As this is a group ordering system and per table ready feast extraordinaire. As a group we chose the 3 meats and 2 sides and we all still left with doggy bags. 3 hearty men and 2 women. Now alcohol is the money cruncher of every bill but we all got choices. The food was just amazing. Hubby is in love with their brisket. The ribs were my least favorite but the chicken oh my God, I can't eat everyday. Sides were complimentary to the meal and even got the corn bread. Our bill was close to 400 but it's also a pp menu so that was like 44 per person. The whole experience was like nothing we have attended and staff were just super great and so friendly. The atmosphere is so up beat, like a home gathering with music and laughter in the background. So happy we tried and will be back for sure. Well worth the cost and the leftovers supplied me lunch for 2 days afterwards too. ”

The brisket was great although could use more of it. the pork belly nuggets are awesome. someone show me how to make them lol. Ribs were falling off bone tender. sides we tried popcorn grits not recommended. brisket Mac and cheese which is ok but meat is star of the show. didn't seem like much for the price 100 2 ppl no drinks. But it is filling and delicious ”
