  Have been wanting to try here for ages. So glad we finally did. However be prepared to wait. We had a 40 min wait for a table of 6 at 3:30pm on a Sunday afternoon. But it was worth the wait.
  Delicious BBQ. I had the ribs (meat fell off the bone) and the brisket (very good). Get the corn side. It's awesome! And the best part was we were all too full to need dinner.
  Another reason I give them 5 stars is because they hadn't run out of anything. I get annoyed at BBQ places that don't cook enough for their demand. But this was perfect. And the soft drinks are enormous!

  I'm so mad at myself. I was too full from lunch and breakfast but I really wanted to try this place on our vacation! It was packed when we got there but the wait didn't feel crazy long (20 mins for a party of 2 I think?)
  
  Our table was pretty bad but it was packed so we made due. I was blinded by the sun through a screen door that led to the outdoor eating area which also meant we had a lot of traffic by our table.
  
  I ordered the BBQ wrap and my husband got the pulled pork sandwich. The wrap was so good but massive. I was so depressed I couldn't eat more of it because I love a good wrap and I love BBQ so it was the perfect marriage of the two. My husband devoured his sandwich. The cocktails were just okay and they came out after the food. The service wasn't horrible (the waitress was really nice) but a little slow because it was so busy. I'd come again for sure but with an emptier stomach!

  Had dinner here tonight. He was hungry and i wasnt so hungry so we decided to share the platter with 3 meat choice, 2 sides and a corn muffin. We got that Carolina pork the brisket and the Buffalo rib.
         Full disclosure I'm kind of a picky eater I used to be a vegetarian. So I'm very very picky about my meat. I struggle to eat meat at all. It has to be very tender very very lean.
  If I get any fat or gristle or yuckiness in my meet I'm turned off for me for a long time.
  With that said brisket is always too fatty for me so i didnt want that. Boy was i wrong. The buffalo rib was not great .. to fatty and weird texture. The brisket was our fav .. best brisket ever.
         Thought we ordered safe sides .. green beans and corn bake.  We really disliked both. Cornbread muffin was great. Rib was yuk and Carolina pork was ok.

  if your in a pinch go to this location. Not the worst food but not the best. This place was severely understaff and wait times were well over 30 minutes just to get a beer.
  
  This BBQ joint has not Macaroni and Cheese.... let that sink in a minute.
  
  Staff were very nice but definitely overwhelmed.

  Went to the one on the golf course. Loved the food. Amazing onion rings, sausage, and beer! Wildlife abound outside also!! Would definitely go back if in the area again! No frills-regualr eatery!!
