“ Best barbecue we've ever had, and we travel around quite a bit to SEC football games and try BBQ throughout the south. This is by far #1! The staff and Pitmaster treated us like old friends. You won't find better service anywhere on the globe. The brisket sandwich and ribeye sandwich were A. Ditto bbq chicken. Sweet tea was perfect as well! Would and WILL go back. ”
“ It's Country and it's Good. The 1/2 Smoked Chicken was Fall Off The Bone Good!!! The smoke flavor was delicious. The Baked Beans were real good. The slaw was basic but at least it wasn't full of too much mayo. The building to the left is the dining area. The place doesn't look like much the food is delicious. If I'm in town again, I'll come back and try some brisket. ”
“ This place is great. Stopped in on a motorcycle ride with my son. The brisket and pulled pork were some of the best I've had. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the portions were large, and the price was reasonable. It's a new destination for us when we are out biking. I want to try the steaks, but the brisket was so good I'm not sure I can pass it up next time I'm there. Bring cash as they don't take plastic, and do yourself a favor and skip breakfast before you go there so you can eat more of their amazing food! ”
“ Really good food,the brisket had a good smoke flavor and very tender. The staff was friendly. ”
“ The epitome of a “hole-in-the-wall” bbq joint! Sonny does more than just make some of the best brisket I’ve had, didn’t even need sauce and just melted in your mouth, but also engaged with my friends and I and told us some of the story behind the scenes. The air was filled with rich hickory smoke, the scent of well aged meats, and humility. We’ll return if we’re ever in the area, for sure! ”
