    Great food, great experience! The Oysters Rockefeller was an amazing starter - highly recommend. The beef brisket was also amazing! This was a great restaurant for my family as my daughter has celiac disease and needed gluten free options - the menu offered several options and the waitress was very accommodating. Would eat here again! The smoked old fashioned was also amazing!

    Not alot to eat if your gluten-free. I would have had the oysters too, but at $5.99/ oyster and no break for 6 or 12, just price per each.... I took a pass. Prices are high, but the food is delicious! The devil eggs are amazing! As well as peel and eat shrimp.

    Very helpful staff. Beautiful old building, but quite dark at night. As a visually impaired person it was near impossible to read the menu. Fortunately, the staff were more than happy to explain it to me. Good drinks, great food, okay bbq sauce and the best smoked sausage I've ever had! The bourbon sauce with the chicken is a perfect pairing. They were out of ribs that night, but the pulled pork and brisket were both worth while. If I had one issue, it's that they only gave us one bbq sauce, if there's more I can't confirm, but the one we were given didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. While most bbq sauces lean into bases of ketchup, mustard or vinegar this one seemed to try and bridge the gap between all of them. But, honestly, the sauce didn't matter. Aside from the chicken and its perfectly paired sauce. Everything else was more than edible on its own merits. Definitely recommend to anyone that loves smoked meats. You won't be upset that you gave it a shot.

    First our server was great. She was running her tail off and still made sure we were taken care of. My brisket was a little dry but the flavor was outstanding. The herbed butter that comes with the dinner was my favorite. You guys could market that on its own. Highly recommend stopping here to anyone who enjoys life on what smoked side. Looking forward to coming back.

    Start with the only good thing we had! Shrimp and grits was better than most!! Now the bad! Everything else(sadly)! Had the Smokehouse Sampler and my least favorite thing(sausage link) just happened to be the best thing on there and thats not saying much! The Brisket tasted like my father in laws overcooked beef roast! The pulled pork tasted like bland fat grease! The chicken (roasted and fried) was tasteless! Fried OKRA......HOW DO YOU MESS UP FRIED OKRA... Well you start with slimy okra!! Our server suck as well...and I called it...she didn't ask how it was or I'd have told her this exactly!!! Dont get your hopes up for this one!!
