  The food at this little restaurant I was hoping to better than it was, however, the barbeque was very dry. It's no wonder they have to drown the meats in salt and pepper and you have to use barbeque sauce to make the dryness go away. Now for where I am going to be quite blunt: 3.5 percent surcharge for credit cards is astronomical. There are better ways to do it than to add the charge to the credit card. Maybe instead you increase the prices across the board and let it factor in the card charge. Also, this business of being short staffed and all that nonsense is just that..NONSENSE! You can't be blaming something from 6 years ago for your lack of knowing how to run a business. Too many businesses are running under this umbrella and many of those are finding that they are losing serious business because the places that have figured it out are taking them to task. I hope the best for this restaurant and hope that you can find ways to better the business. Because unfortunately if you continue on this path you won't last.

  The most underrated place in Nacogdoches. They definitely need more customers given how good their food is.

  The server was very nice and patient with the customers. The plates came with very LARGE size portions; enough to make two meals. I had chopped beef and links with potato salad, baked beans and coleslaw slaw.

  It was our first time trying the restaurant (1/10/26). It was almost 6 pm on a Saturday night. We should have taken the hint in the fact that the restaurant was almost completly empty. The staff wasn't rude but wasn't overly welcoming or informative. We really didn't have an idea what was included. We started by ordering a 3 meat, all brisket plate. I wanted all beef. We were told that none of the meats could be doubled up on. That it was a sampling of meats and they had to be different. I've never been told at any BBQ place before that I could only have one serving of any of the meats. We then ordered one rib plate, ribs were very dry, watered down sauce was poured over them. Second plate was the worst dried out brisket we have ever had. Due to allergies and lack of ingredient knowledge I opted for no sauce. Between the rice and the beans, the rice looked the least dried out. However taste wise was not very good. What we thought was mashed potatoes was ice cold mashed potato salad. Which seemed very odd. We both had peach cobbler. The peach filling was good but was self serve and mainly crust only. We left at 7:30pm. There was only one other table the entire time, two to go orders, and not sure what the drive through did. Not sure if the lack of business was why the food was dried out or it was the other way around. Unfortunately we have to cross this restaurant off on the return list and can not recommend it.
