Quick and efficient. I called ahead and the time was perfect and spot on. Street parking is available and I had no problem finding a spot. Signage is easy to read and very visible. Food was great! Rib tips came with BBQ sauce on the side, I enjoy the fact I had the option to choose how much sauce I wanted to put on my tips. The BBQ sauce came in great portion. Catfish was classic, packaged well with my tips. I didn't have to worry about food being soggy because it was prepared/packaged well. Yams were phenomenal! I will return, I want to see what else the menu has to offer. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the entire experience!
Grew up Southside eating Ted Cooks Scott Ja Mamas Cgs all that, came here first time got ribs and Mac he forgot to add the Mac to the order and threw it in for free. Ribs are juicy and perfectly smoked, homemade Mac hits and the owners son who runs it Dwight was a cool dude. I’ll be back.

Stopped in for the first time recently. The smoked wings had fantastic Smokey flavor. The real highlight of my order was the catfish platter. Perfectly cooked and seasoned catfish. Great service and such a friendly crew!
🤦🏽♂️ it's the catfish and smoked wings for me. The catfish was fried to perfection and very flavorful. The smoked wings were tender and had an awesome smokey flavor to them. The ribs also had a very smokey flavorful taste and were really …
Please don’t leave reviews unless you actually ordered and ate the food. I’m thinking 5 stars and good reviews the food was gonna be amazing 🙄🙄 the food was trash the greens tasted like they were canned and the yams were ok but so plain the …
Don't go here based on the nearly 5 star reviews like I did. I thought it would be a little hole in the wall with some good BBQ, but it was a waste of time and money. …
