Delicious BBQ. I had the Brisket Bully - a brisket sandwich with slaw, fried onion rings and Provolone cheese. It was yummy. Hubs had the pulled pork sammie also excellent. The house cut fries were well worth it. Arnold Palmers to drink. The owner was very friendly. Service was quick. Kitchen is super clean. Highly recommend it.

This is hands down the best pulled pork sandwich in WNC! As a true BBQ lover, I know quality when I taste it, and this place delivers. The food is absolutely amazing!

We had an all around great experience! We had 9 guests and they handled our order perfectly, while we navigated the menu as first-timers and simultaneously managing the drive-thru orders. The food was 10/10 and the owner was so personable and generous! We ate onsite because we were passing through and the picnic tables were perfect even on a hot day.

"Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree?" - Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart, and Eurythmics Excellent place for delicious BBQ! The BBQ and Mac bowl was outstanding and the brisket was amazing. Good location, but you can pass it up if you're not paying attention. And you don't want to pass this place up! Customer service was phenomenal (seriously, these people should teach a class on it).

Big party, with complicated orders were handled quickly and with patience! Excellent BBQ pork, brisket and chicken. The pork bites bowl was a big hit! Thank you for making our meal so special.

My pulled pork sandwich was generous and delicious. Her pulled pork bowl seemed generous. We'll stop again, next time we're in the area.
