    Our waiter was friendly and knew all the questions we asked him-and we asked a lot! Whiskey flight was fun and tasty. Shrimp and grits, ribs, and turkey dishes were delish! Would definitely go back!

    Place was closed for an in-house event and they were truly obnoxious when we got there to fulfill our OpenTable reservation. Place looked as unwelcoming as the staff.

    Large portions of great BBQ in a fun, lively atmosphere. Plenty of leftovers for you lunch the next day (yay!). Everything was good from the service to the food. Our only real complaint was there were some items served that were very spicy and it was not mentioned on the menu, which meant we bought something we could not eat. We will definitely come back, everyone in our party enjoyed their meal.

    My husband’s beef brisket was dry. He stated he’s had better at Southern Pig and Cattle than here. But the sides were good. My shrimp and grits were flavorful. A little heat, a little tang to it. I had the sweet potato mash. It was good, like a dessert. Ambience…..it was a little too dark where we were sitting at a table on the floor. Booths around the perimeter had a lot more lighting to them. A small table light would have helped.
