I should have listened to the bad reviews but there were so many good ones. There’s no brisket, no sausage, no smoked turkey. It’s basically flavorless pork covered in some kind of watery sauce and you get a small cup with more watery “sauce”. I ordered a chopped plate expecting brisket. Nope. The fries, okra and hush puppies were good tho. And service was pretty good. My first BBQ experience in NC is not living up to the hype.

Usually the food is good. Bbq is the best. The club sandwiches are hit and miss, always different everytime I get them. Got my order to go and this is how it looked. It had broken pieces of bread this time in my tray, they forgot to put the cheese on it, asked for ketchup and didnt get any in my order and skimpy on the onion rings.

We were here a year ago while we were camping at Forest Lake and really enjoyed the BBQ. Now we're back again, and the BBQ is still just as delicious. The smoke coming out of the smoker smelled so good! The service here is friendly and fast and the food is priced right. I got a small chopped tray with red slaw. It was nice and smoky, and oh, so good. And the hushpuppies are addictive. Hubs got a chili cheeseburger and a small chopped tray. He loved it because he pretty much inhaled it! Servings are very generous. Thanks for a great meal and service.

If you're traveling through the area and are curious, read on.... This restaurant serves "Lexington Style" Barbeque, which is usually pit cooked pork shoulders. This style of BBQ maybe leaner and dryer than some are accustomed to, but if you like Lexington Style or would like to try it, I recommend this restaurant. We recently stopped in and ordered "to-go" from the counter. Three chopped sandwiches, three fries, and three teas were a reasonable $27. The food was ready in 5 minutes and we were quickly on our way. I do recommend asking for the BBQ sauce, which is vinegar based and comes in a small container so you can add to taste. Red and white slaw is available. I recommend red, it goes better with this style of BBQ. Our food was excellent.

Very happy to find a great barbecue place with a hometown feel. My chopped barbecue tray was excellent and my wife equally enjoyed her barbecued chicken. The sauce they provided in a tiny pitcher as a 'dip' was great for doing just that with the equally tasty hushpuppies. As you can tell, we were very pleased over all and truly look forward to going back. :-)
