REVIEWS

this place was wonderful

Was looking for a restaurant close to Abingdon and remembered eating here before covid broke out. Now offering dine in option, this place was wonderful, I forgot how good the cornbread fritters were along with their barbecue. Staff was wonderful, restaurant was clean and the prices were fair. Plus Plenty of parking behind the restaurant. Definitely will be back soon. It was delicious.

Generous cocktails for the price

Generous cocktails for the price, Mojitos. Had the Pulled Pork Sandwich & the Chopped Brisket Plate along with Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and the Mac & Cheese. Followed by Banana Pudding. I liked the fact that we could select the sauce for the BBQ, and try different types at a self service station. Meats were great, Mashed Sweet Potatoes a bit too sweet and the pudding was ok.
