My only regret is not getting more ribs. The pulled port and sausage are good, but the ribs stand apart. If I'm passing this route again, I'll definitely be back for a full rack!

First time trying them out and we'll definitely be back. BBQ brisket and pulled pork were tasty and tender. Fried okra cooked to perfection. Mac and cheese nice and cheesy. Hidden jewel in Clayton. Put his one on your list to try

Great food, and little Gracie was just the best. She waited on my brother and I with attentive cheer and a great attitude. If I'm EVER paying through town again, this is where I'll eat. Good food, good service, good price.

Melvin is a true gem at this restaurant! The barbecue really impressed us and we’ve had a lot of barbecue! The portions were huge and Melvin (the cook) made sure we were compensated (with extra good portions) when he had to break the news to us that they had no ribs. Worth a stop if you’re passing through.

Unfortunately we got there just before closing time and they were out of a lot of items!! But we didn't know that and they didn't tell us they just brought my order with 3/4's of it missing!!

Very friendly staff - the General Manager was awesome. The fried mushrooms were the best I’ve ever tasted and the sirloin steak was tender and very flavorful! I highly recommend stopping here.

This place is ok. Out here in the middle of no where I don't expect super high quality because of logistics but.... there was a fly prominently displayed in my box of fries. It was pretty crispy. The fries weren't. The temperature of the oil took care of any icky stuff so I'm not really concerned. More of quality control issue. Don't let food go out like that and dry the fries better.

The food is good. Service was good. The young lady made a small mistake ringing up our check, but they were very nice and good with making the situation right. To the young lady that messed up: It's ok. Mistakes happen, and we understand.

Food and waitress was very good. Took over an hour to get our food, hopefully that was because of just reopening due to Covid-19.

We were the only ones there but it was great. Need to get awareness up so more people can experience the deliciousness. Everyone that tried the macaroni and cheese said it was the best they've ever had. The honey butter was awesome. If the rolls had been better we'd give 5 Stars! ****We love Ketchup 😁

We were driving from TX to Colorado for spring break and stopped in for lunch because of the great reviews. I’m sorry to say that the food was absolutely terrible. Cold, burnt tasting and some weird sauces on the bbq chicken that they claimed was sweet homemade bbq sauce. Tasted like marinara sauce. The mashed potatoes tasted like something out of a box, unseasoned and same with the green beans. The food was just awful. The service was great and the waiter was really trying hard but the food was some of the worst we’ve ever had at a restaurant. I wasn’t going to leave a review but felt that I had to warn other out of owners so they can save their money!!

Very cute little place. The customer service wasn't too bad. But the burgers were burnt pretty badly. Probably just a fluke. We'll have to try it again sometime
