Customer service could use some improvements. The speed of the workers and their attentiveness to customers needs some work. The food was excellent.

We arrived around 3 today and was told it would be at least a hour wait that they was short staffed( we are having the same issue in our home town) not even 15 minutes later Keysha came up and spoke with us and ask if we were willing to all sit in separate booths but we would be close together, my family and I was fine with that as long as we got to sit and eat where our close friends recommended us to visit while in town! After being seated not a few minutes later she was their to get our drinks and to see if we wanted appetizers! Must say we thought our visit was going to be a bust, but she absolutely made it great!!! Recommend the brisket nachos, smoked chicken Mac n cheese, and more!!! We absolutely loved Keysha recommendations and will be back to see her next time we are in town!!! Thanks you Keysha and to whom prepared the meals! My family and I wanted to let you all know how amazing it was!

All the "southern sides" were from a box or a can, the meat was all dry and near inedible unless smothered in their sauce, and stew I got as a starter was just watered down barbecue sauce with random meat pieces thrown in....it was just such a let down. I was hoping for some real southern barbecue, but this is not the place to go for sure. There are plenty of other restaurants near here, choose one of those, trust me.
