We were on our way back home to Columbia from Birmingham and we have always wanted to see what the world's best BBQ tasted like. My husband went and ordered takeout. We had 2 brisket sandwich and fries. We have eaten a lot of BBQ and I have to acknowledge that this is truly the best we've had. They gave us tons and was very lean and tender. Great sauce too. It came with and they were good... Not the best but still good. If you are traveling down near Troy I would highly recommend stopping.

Drive by this place many times and just never have stopped until today. It’s got a great country vide to it with a great staff and the inside has that smokey smell letting you know that the food is fresh made. I opted for a quick bbq sandwich and I highly recommend it. I probably insulted the cook by putting the homemade bbq sauce on it but it was a great combination. I will definitely be stopping again and want to try the brisket next time. Great job guys!!

Fantastic and perfectly cooked smoked wings. The potato salad is perfect. The brisket plate is so tender as well as the pulled pork plate. The fried okra is golden goodness in your mouth. And the service is top notch! We came from out of town and stopped in for dinner for my nans 90th bday and the server was a real delight. You gotta try the red velvet cake. Such a great little spot that if you want bbq this is where you gotta try.
