I ordered the Big Joe Basket to go. I got home and found they sent me on my way with the Great Big Joe Basket!!! The sandwich is gigantic and the taste is just as big! Excellent! Highly recommended! Service was outstanding as always. TY

I really like the look and feel of this establishment, but that's where the good ends. Reception was absolutely sub-par, especially being my first visit. A bit curt and dismissive attitude. Brisket looked dry, so I asked if the serve well-marbled, or fatty, and which was dismissed. Ordered half a chicken. Okra was wonderful, Mac and cheese was cooked very well, but not cheesy, and chicken was more like jerky and extremely dry. Sauces had nice flavor though. Not coming back.

Some of the toughest and driest brisket I've ever had. We can barely cut it. It doesn't make sense bc the last time we were here it was amazing brisket. We brought it to an employees attention. She seemed annoyed and gave us another serving of the same meat.

Brisket was so dry I couldn’t cut it. Had to ask for a new plate. Second time around, same thing! This time I choked on the meat. Sad this was my experience.

Very good pork BBQ sandwich. Pork is good, not shredded too finely. Counter service. Clean. Classic feel. Good sauces. Good fries, kind of a "steak fries" style. Onion rings are huge with a thick, slightly sweet batter. Very tasty.
