    Worst experience with customer service. Waited at least 10 mins before i had ask someon if they can my order for them to tell me they dont take tap paying. I go online and can't even place an order because they lock certain items. I tried to call in the order and no I can't pay over the phone. It took me over 30 mins just to place an order online so they can unlock the item. Never again. Not mention i had to another 25 mins for my order. Just wow. This wasn't even for me. I was picking up food for someone as a favor. Other than that I would have left.

    This place really deserves 5 stars and the only reason I didn't rate it that is because of how much they have gone up on their food. I know, it's happening everywhere but I'm still not happy about it. Ok so let's get into the food. The ribs are always on point here. So tender and well seasoned. The brisket is also always superb. The rice was delicious. The potato salad is always good also. I was able to eat off that plate three times. Worth the money but still a sticker shock on pricing.

    Food is great - not a huge fan of the service - you order online and hour ago only to be forced to wait in the drive thru with 8 other cars and they wont let you pick-up from inside. Pre planning doesn't matter, and no real reason to not let you pick-uo inside besides a power trip.

    This is what I got for $20. I could buy a whole turkey for that price. These portions are ridiculous when compared with what you are charged. Very disappointed. Gave 2 stars because the flavor is good.
