- DBDavid Barber1 day ago5.0Have been here twice, and both were excellent experiences. I'm an a la cart meats kind of guy, and the brisket (ask for a mix of lean and "moist" aka "with delicious melt in your mouth fat") and pulled pork are both on point.
- ABAngie BentleyJan 5, 20265.0The place is great! The food was delicious, and a lot of food was given per serving! The cashier (Mary) was welcoming and one of the most attentive cashiers we’ve seen in a while! Lots of leftovers. 10/10!
- SHSharon HigginbothamDec 28, 20255.04rivers never disappoints! Today I had something called the "Six Shooter". It is a tower beginning with baked cheese grits, topped with coleslaw, then pulled pork, then more coleslaw, then pickles and jalapeño peppers and drizzled with lots of barbecue sauce. Triple Yum! I knew I liked all the different levels independently, but did not know if I would like them all sloped together on top of each other. Well, it was a wonderful treat. Sorry I did not take a picture of it, but I'm sure you can see it on their website.
