"My fav BBQ type is brisket, and theirs is very good. I prefer plain brisket and cornbread, so I ordered the brisket sandwich without the bread and added the cornbread. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and cornbread, which was also good. When I picked up the cornbread, I was amazed by the weight! It's very heavy (good) and still moist and not as sweet (also good) as many are. Very nice BBQ for a chain. And the staff were very friendly."

"I ordered carry out. Was on the road and took a bite of the brisket sandwich and nothing but fat. Don't get me wrong I actually prefer moist brisket this was not it, pure nasty fat had to spit it out and took another bite of the other slice and couldn't even bite down it was so thick and tough. The wings were very good. As was the pulled pork which was nice and moist I might add! Corn casserole had a strange taste chose not to eat that and lastly the fries ice cold even when arriving at 11:30 and they just opened at 11 but they did have a great taste had they been hot . Ordered 2 types of sauces to give a try and got 2 of the same.The customer service rep when I called was very nice and assured me this is not how they do business."

"This wasn't good, it's a banquet meal for $24 wild. Had to add on after another stop a picture is worth a thousand words; you can see the difference this Judges platter was way way better the food was juicy and flavorful will be returning after this one. Definitely try the peach cobbler"

"We spotted this place while on a girls day out and pulled in. We were happy we did. I had chicken, she had sausage. Both were very good. I am hesitant to order sausage in a restaurant but I tried hers and will happily order it next time. The green beans had good flavor but were a bit overcooked for my taste. I like them a little firm. The baked beans had nice flavor, they were slightly tangy. There was a nice selection of sauces to accompany the meats."

"Overall everything was really good! Two of us split the City Sampler as listed with pint size mac and cheese and baked beans for our sides and a 3 Side Plate with green beans, banana pudding, and hush puppies. It was more than enough food to fill us up and still have plenty of leftovers to take home. The banana pudding and the baked beans with brisket were the highlight for both of us, easily the best I've had anywhere! The sausage was on the salty side, but the only thing we were really disappointed with was the brisket. The brisket inside the baked beans *chefs kiss* so good, but on its own left a lot to be desired. The pieces we received were slightly dry, on the fatty side, and not fork tender, definitely needed a knife to cut. We ended up chatting with a table nearby who unfortunately said the same thing about their brisket. The smoked turkey and pulled pork in the City Sampler were both full of flavor and very tender. We will be coming back, especially for the banana pudding and baked beans!"
